7. E-mail at a Glance: Finding Addresses

There is no comprehensive listing of all e-mail addresses, but here are some ways to find someone's address:

• It may seem obvious, but the easiest way to get someone's address is to just ask. If you already know the person, pick up the phone and call.


• Try Yahoo! People Search--a free, easy-to-use directory for locating both e-mail, street addresses and phone numbers.


• Many people list their e-mail address on their business cards, so look there. Or go to the company website and see if there's a staff directory.


• If you've received a message from someone in the past, it contains the person's address. Many e-mail programs, like Outlook and Yahoo!Mail, automatically record the sender's address in your address book.
