Verify Email Address (Free)

This free tool verifies an email address by connecting to the mail server and verifies whether the mailbox exists and an email can be received. It should be noted that some mail servers may turn off VRFY command for spam protection, and also block RCPT commands.

How do you verify email address?

Verifying an email address involves confirming that the email address actually exists and can receive email messages. Here are some common methods for verifying email addresses:

  1. Syntax check: This involves checking the format of the email address to ensure that it is in the correct syntax, including the presence of an @ symbol and a valid domain name.
  2. Mailbox existence check: This involves sending a small, test email message to the email address to see if it bounces back or is delivered successfully.
  3. SMTP verification: This involves connecting to the email server using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and verifying that the email address exists on the server. You may use our SMTP Test tool to verify your mail service.
  4. Email confirmation: This involves sending a confirmation message to the email address and asking the recipient to reply or click a link to confirm that they have received the message and that the email address is valid.
  5. Email verification services: There are many online services that provide email verification services. These services use various methods to verify the validity of an email address, including syntax checks, mailbox existence checks, and SMTP verification.

It is important to verify email addresses to ensure that email messages are being sent to valid addresses, and to reduce the risk of sending messages to non-existent addresses, which can result in bounced or undeliverable messages.
