Email permutator

Enter a person's name and their company's domain and this tool lists the email formats companies commonly use, such as first.last@ and flast@, and checks that the domain takes email. The formats are guesses, not confirmed addresses.

Names stay in your browser. Only the company domain is looked up, to see whether it takes email.

How it works

The tool takes the first and last name, tidies them (lower case, accents and apostrophes removed, spaces and hyphens joined up) and builds the formats that companies commonly use: first, last, first.last, first_last, flast, f.last, firstl and their reverses.

The list is in a fixed order. It is not ranked, because no reliable public data says which format is most common, and the right one depends entirely on the company.

Guesses are not addresses

At most one of these is real, and often none is. A company may use a nickname, a number, a different order, or a format of its own. The domain check only tells you that the domain takes email, not that any one mailbox exists.

The best way to find the format a company uses is to look at an address it has published for someone else, in a press release, a contact page or a conference listing, and apply the same pattern.

Check before you send

Do not send to every guess. The wrong ones bounce, and bounces hurt the domain you send from. Run the likely one through the email validator, and verify it before a real send. Warmerly's email finder and email verification do that step for you and score how sure they are.

Writing to someone who has not asked to hear from you

An address inferred from a pattern is personal data about that person. The rules on contacting someone without being asked differ by country and by who they are, so this page cannot tell you what is allowed. In general, expect to need a lawful basis, to say who you are, and to give a working way to opt out in every message.

Questions

Which email format is the most common?

There is no reliable public figure we can point to, so this tool does not rank them. Many companies use first.last or a first initial plus last name, but the only way to know is to find an address the company has published.

Does it tell me which address is the right one?

No. It lists the likely formats. Only the person's company can tell you which one works, and the mail server check confirms the domain takes email, not that a mailbox exists.

Are the names I type stored or sent anywhere?

No. The formats are built in your browser. Only the company domain is looked up, to read its MX records.

How do I find the format a company uses?

Find an email address the company has published for any employee, such as on a contact page, in a press release or in a conference listing, and apply the same pattern to the person you want to reach.

Is it legal to email an address I guessed?

That depends on where the recipient is, who they are and what you send, so this page cannot answer it. In general you need a lawful basis, you must say who you are, and every message needs a working way to opt out. Take advice if you are unsure.

Why did it remove the accents from a name?

Most company addresses use the English alphabet only. A company may spell an accented letter differently, for example ü as ue, so check the result if the name has one.

Find the real address instead of guessing.

Warmerly's email finder resolves a name and a company and verifies every result, with a confidence score so you can set your own threshold.
