How to Lookup a AIM Email Address Online

It wasn't that long ago that AOL was the biggest Internet provider and email provider in the world. Today, they are still an industry giant, but even with all of that available technology and resources, it can be difficult to track down one email address. If you have recently misplaced, forgotten or just plain lost a friend's email address, it can be frustrating to realize that there isn't a giant online resource dedicated to finding email addresses. You do, however, have a few paths you can explore on your own.

If you know where your friend works, they may have contact information listed on their companies' website. Often times, any web address listed will be a work address and not a personal one, but you can always contact the person via the email address listed to get the information you need.

The same can be true if you know of any online hangouts that your friend visits on a regular basis. It could be a website dedicated to a hobby or it might be a message board for an online community that they partake in. Your friend may also have an account with one of the top social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace. You may have to create your own account to look at the accounts of any people you find, but it can be a fairly quick and easy way to track down a lost AIM email address.

If your friend has an AIM email address, then they likely chat on AIM on a regular basis. You can download and install AOL Instant Messenger is minutes and then add that person as a friend. Of course, if they don't chat using AIM or haven't in a very long time, you won't get anywhere.

The smartest way to look up an AIM email address is to perform a reverse email lookup. It's disappointing to waste your valuable time searching fruitlessly for an AIM email address online. With useful information from reverse email searches, you should be able to get the results you need, quickly.
