How to Find Someone's Work Email Address (and Know It Is Real)
A practical way to find a person's work email from just their name and company website, and know it is confirmed rather than guessed.
Read articleLists decay quietly. People change jobs, companies change domains, and typos slip in at sign-up. Sending to that list as it is means bounces, and bounces push your good emails toward spam too. Verifying the list first is the cheapest fix there is.
Why lists go bad
B2B contact data loses accuracy every month as people move roles and companies. Add mistyped addresses, old imports and duplicates, and a list that looked clean last quarter can bounce badly today.
- People leave, and their mailbox is closed
- Companies rebrand or merge and retire old domains
- Typos such as gmial.com get saved at sign-up
- The same contact appears several times from different imports
How to verify a list with Domailfix
- Open the Bulk list tab. Drop in a CSV or TXT file, or paste the addresses straight in.
- Start the check. Duplicate addresses are checked once, so you are not charged twice.
- Watch it run. Progress updates as the list is checked, and no email is ever sent to anyone on it.
- Download the results. Get a CSV with a status and confidence score for every address. Results are deleted from the server about two hours after the job finishes.
What to do with each result
| Result | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverable | The address is confirmed and safe to send to | Keep and send |
| Undeliverable | The address is invalid, the domain cannot receive email, or the mailbox does not exist | Remove it |
| Risky | Accept-all domain, full mailbox, or a throwaway address | Send with care, or verify another way first |
| Unknown | A definite answer was not available this time | Retry later. Unknown results are not charged |
How often to verify
Before every big send
Verify any list you have not sent to in the last few weeks.
After every import
Check new lists from events, partners or old CRMs before they mix with your clean data.
Every quarter
Re-check your main CRM list so decay does not build up unnoticed.
Verification is not the same as permission
A verified address tells you the mailbox exists. It does not give you the right to email it. Make sure you have a lawful basis for every contact, follow GDPR, the DPDP Act and anti-spam laws, and always include an easy way to opt out.
Before you send to the cleaned list, run your copy through the Free Cold Email Spam Checker. If too many addresses come back Undeliverable, our CRM data enrichment team can replace them with current contacts.
Frequently asked questions
How many credits does a list use?
One credit per address checked. Duplicates are checked once, and results marked Unknown are not charged. Bought credits never expire.
Are the addresses I upload kept?
No. They are not saved as a list, and bulk results are deleted from the server about two hours after the job finishes.
What is an accept-all domain?
A company domain set to accept email for any address, real or not. No single mailbox can be confirmed there, so Domailfix marks it Risky instead of guessing.
Can I verify from my own software?
Yes. Create an API key on your account page, or add Domailfix to an AI assistant as an MCP connector. The same credits apply.
