Have you ever wondered if an email is valid? Perhaps you want to see if the support email on a software developer’s website is real. Now, there’s a tool for that.
Discover Email Address Checker, a webapp from Rolosoft:
Just enter an email address into the box and click “Check!”. If it is not valid, this shows up:
If it is valid, however, it shows this:
Email Address Checker can also show you the email addresses you’ve recently checked:
Note that:
- There are limitations to Email Address Checker. For example, Yahoo and Altavista e-mail address cannot be validated. This is what I got when I tried a Yahoo address:
You can gain more detail on the limitations of Email Address Checker via the documentation.
- Email Address Checker is for “non-commercial” use only.
In the end, despite its limitations, I think that this is a tool that can be useful.

Bullseye! Indeed it is “The 411 on Process Virtual Machines” Thanks, I’ll read & seek any clarification if required. Upon a fast read it looks “simply loveable” and also “loveably simple”. Wow!
LOL
Ramesh
@Ramesh Kumar: Thank you very much.
Locutus (reference your comment 21)
Oh okay so there are no buttons as such for me to take. Therefore its not a computer problem at my end or yours. So I need to import smilies myself? How do I do that? Please guide me. Smilies are indeed great to use I agree with you 100%. They are there in my forum blog but not inside the main blog?!

@Ramesh Kumar and Samuel: Has this comment thread turned into a mini-forum? :)
@Adrian: Yup!
Adrian
yes dear friend LOL
Ramesh
@Ramesh Kumar: Just type in : and ) to get :) or : and D to get :D
@Ashraf: When I click “Manage your subscriptions” at the bottom of this page, it says “You may not access this page without a valid key”. I want to unsubscribe because I’ve gotten 32 emails from this post.
They cannot accept address in “.name” domain name like “something@john.doe.name”.
This kind of domain existe since 2000 !!!
@Stockel1949: That’s not good.
@Locutus: Go to the e-mail you get. There should be a link in there to unsubscribe. If not, let me know.
@Ashraf: Not one that I can see-the email I’m getting is the one for managing the new comments.

@Locutus: If I don’t remember wrongly, you can uncheck “receive email for new comment posted on your submission” or s/th similar inside the WordPress dashboard.
Of course, if you use this method, you’ll have to check it again later if you post again.
@Adrian: But I just want to unsubscribe from this particular post :(
Hi,
I’ve just tried this for a few addreses:
- “…@hotmail.com”: Unknown
- “…@hotmail.co.uk”: Unknown
- “…@gmail.com”: Valid
Here’s a free php script that works even better.
