How to Lookup a MSN Email Address Online

If you were to rank all of the world's free email providers side by side, you would probably see MSN at or near the top. Backed by the giant Microsoft Network, MSN email is a sensation, but it can still be very difficult to look up one particular email address. While the paper White Pages have flawlessly transitioned to an online format, compete with reverse phone and address look up features, there is no such free online directory for email addresses. That doesn't mean that you are out of luck, you may just have to look in a rather unorthodox way.

If the person you are looking for uses a MSN email address, then there is a good chance that they may also use Windows Live Messenger to chat with. If you don't already use this chat program, you can download the newest version and install it in minutes. Once you have the program installed, you can search their user base to see if your friend has an account there, than all you have to do is add them to your list and message them when they come online. If they don't use MSN chat, you'll need to seek an alternative method to contact them.

Looking up an email address via one of the major search engines isn't as easy as you may think it is. You can try to search a person's name or their phone number to try to locate a website that they may be registered on that would have their email address displayed, but your chances are slim. You can also perform a reverse phone number lookup to see if you can uncover their email address there.

The fastest way, however, to lookup an MSN email address is to turn to a reverse email lookup service. Looking up personal information online is seldom direct or easy, but with a targeted reverse email lookup, you'll vastly increase your chances of getting the results you need without the hassle.
