Electronic mail, or most commonly known as email, has become the standard for exchange of information across the Internet. The email address is what you type into the 'Recipient' area of a composed email so that you can send it to that particular person. Many companies utilize groups of individuals to maintain their email lists for various information and updates about the company. With the quick growth rate of the Internet (about 2.2 billion email users around the world), it may be tough to find which email addresses have already been taken or are valid. This information is important to know if you are looking to market to potentially new customers or want to clean up a subscribed email list.

Of course, checking the validity of email addresses always requires an Internet connection. It would be impossible to monitor the email address modifications and updates and keep them available offline. Consequently, there are a number of websites used to determine the availability of an email address. One such website is very basic in that it provides a box into which you may input your email address. The website then looks for a registered email address by that name and returns whether the address is taken or not. The major drawback is that only one email address can be authenticated at a time. This makes for a long address list clean up an even longer task.

Fortunately, a program is accessible from www.hothotsoftware.com that permits for a massive search of valid email address. By going to the website and searching for 'Check if an E-mail Address Exists' you can find a program to meet your specific purpose. After opening the software, you will find that it is written in a classic user interface so almost anyone familiar with a computer can master the software. The software also operates entirely within a single window. This eliminates any chance of getting lost within the program. The window of the program is separated into three primary sections. The left section of the window has a box that can be filled with potential email addresses. These addresses can be anything that you want to check the availability. The center section permits for input of any email addresses to omit from the search. These are entered by simply including the email address up until the @ symbol. This is done because some companies will use like email addresses for like purposes. For example, many companies have a registered email address of 'contact@company.com' for question purposes. By entering 'contact@' into the center area of the program any emails starting with 'contact' will be excluded. The right section of the window displays the completed list of authenticated email addresses.
