Looking to uncover the owner behind a Yahoo email address? While there are hundreds of email lookup tools on the internet that claim to offer accurate results, the reality is you wouldn’t know what information you’ll get unless you paid.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We’ve tested a bunch of them, so you don’t have to. In this post, we’ll cover the most effective ways to track down the owner of a Yahoo email address – both free and paid ways. Let’s dive in!

1. Epieos

Epieos is my favorite email lookup tool. It’s free, it’s accurate, and best of all, it’s very easy to use. You can use it without signing up – just enter the Yahoo email address into the search box, agree to the terms, and hit the search icon. Epieos will then work its magic and deliver the results in seconds.

For example, here is a report I generated with the tool. Epieos was able to locate the Skype account linked to the Yahoo email address I searched, along with the owner’s full name, gender, and the state and city they live in.

The report also displays whether that email address is used on social networks or websites, although it won’t hand you the direct links to the accounts. Still, a useful piece of information that you can use as a starting point to further your investigation.

2. True People Search

Another reverse email lookup tool we recommend is True People Search. It’s a dedicated people search tool that allows you to enter an email address and search for details about the owner on the go.

Just type in that Yahoo email address, and True People Search will display a list of possible owners.

Click View details and I was able to view details like the owner’s full name, aliases, age, phone number, address, and even possible relatives. Just remember, this tool searches only for people living in the US.

3. Social Catfish

Social Catfish is a paid people search tool that can take your search to the next level. With its sophisticated algorithms and access to comprehensive public records, and social media platforms, you’re likely to locate the owner of the Yahoo email address.

You can enter the email address on the Social Catfish Reverse Email Lookup page. After purchasing a membership, you can review the report which may include the person’s name, age, address history, possible photos, associates, etc.

4. Try Outlook

Another effective way to find out who owns a Yahoo email address is to use social media platforms. Some platforms let you search for users by email address. If you can find a profile linked to that specific Yahoo email address, you may be able to learn the owner’s name and other details.

We’ll demonstrate how to search for LinkedIn profiles by email in this post. To do this, you’ll need to have a LinkedIn account linked to your Outlook email address.

1. Go to Outlook and log into your account.

2. Click the People option on the left panel, then click New contact.

3. Fill in the First Name as you want, then click Add more and select Email address.

4. Fill in the email address and click Create.

5. Click the contact you created, then click LinkedIn to see if there’s any LinkedIn profile associated with the email address. (You’ll need to log in to your LinkedIn account and connect it to your Microsoft Outlook account if you haven’t done this yet.)

Depending on users’ privacy settings, their profile information may be viewable only to people they’ve connected with or it may be viewable to anyone. If this didn’t show any profile for you, that means no LinkedIn account is connected to that particular email address. In this case, move on and see if you can get any luck on other sites.

5. Search Engines

You can also use search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo to uncover more information linked to email addresses.

Simply enter the Yahoo email address in the search bar and search. If someone has ever posted it on a public forum, you may be able to find information about the owner.
