Verify any email address

Verify any email addressUPDATE: There are reports circulating that this could be a spam/email harvesting site. Use at your own discretion. As with any other email entry service, you have no idea what may happen with your address. Thanks Jeff.

UPDATE2: Please see Alex Rose comments below, webmaster of the service.


Have you ever scribbled down a new contacts email address, only to arrive to your computer and get frustrated with the fact that you can't read your chicken scratch? You are now left with two choices...send emails out to all different variations of the email address, or use Verify Email Address.

Verify Email Address takes the guess work out of whether or not an email address is active. The system verify's email addresses by connecting to the mail server in question and checking that the user name and mailbox exist. Of course this tool can also be used to check out how people have their mail servers set up, which could pose somewhat of a security threat.

Mapping Addresses in Yahoo! Mail

yahoo mail addressThe folks at Yahoo! have added a little feature to Yahoo! Mail that recognizes addresses and phone numbers. The new features will automatically recognize and underline all phone numbers and addresses in mail messages, and easily get directions or view locations. The new feature will also allow for the ability to instantly add addresses to your address book. Google's Gmail has had this feature for a while, however they have taken a much more subtle approach by tossing a link in the corner. So with this new Yahoo Mail feature, I hereby announce the start of email wars. Challenging Google, Yahoo!, and MSN to come up with and release some additional helpful features for its users. What would you like to see added to online email applications to make your communications easier? How about some folders in Gmail? Or a notepad?

Spambox.us temporary email addresses

SpamboxI like email, I hate spam. Everyone does. I am also not fond of the fact that every website out there makes me register or sign-up even if I want to just do one thing on the site and be done with it. Spambox.us will give you a free temporary "Spambox" email address, that you specify how long to keep it open from an hour up to a year. Spambox is available in a lot of languages. All Spambox does is transparently forward any received emails to your real address until the box expires. I guess if you can't find logon info for a certain site on BugMeNot.com, Spambox is ready to be your go-to guy.
