Email Finder
emailverify.io's Email Finder tool helps you discover professional email addresses using a person's name and company domain. Our intelligent system generates multiple email pattern combinations and verifies them in real-time to find the correct, deliverable address.
How Email Finder Works
The Finding Process
- Input Name and Domain: Provide a full name and company domain
- Pattern Generation: Our system creates up to 25 common email pattern combinations
- Real-time Verification: Each generated pattern is verified against the company's mail server
- Results Delivery: Valid email addresses are displayed immediately
Common Patterns Generated
Based on the name "John Smith" and domain "company.com", our system may generate patterns like:
- john.smith@company.com
- j.smith@company.com
- johns@company.com
- smith.john@company.com
- jsmith@company.com
- john@company.com
- And many more common corporate email formats
Using Email Finder
Starting a Search
- Navigate to the Email Finder section in your dashboard
- Enter the target's Name in the designated field
- Enter the company Domain (without http:// or www)
- Configure your search preferences
- Click Find Email to begin the search process
Search Configuration
Pause on First Valid Result
- When enabled, the search stops immediately when the first valid email address is found
- Saves time by avoiding unnecessary additional verifications
- Recommended for most use cases
Credit Usage
- Each complete search consumes 10 credits, regardless of how many patterns are verified
- Credits are deducted when the search begins
- Failed searches or searches with no valid results still consume credits
