Need to find an email address search to find or identify the sender? You can still accomplish this even if your email account is now closed and no longer active.

It may be a little more difficult, but it’s still possible to identify the person behind that email address. In this article, we will try to address additional issues an investigator faces when trying to investigate an old or state email address that has been deactivated.
The first thing we need to do is find out if the email address we are trying to investigate is still active or closed. If the email address we are investigating is open only to contact our client and then closed immediately after sending the email, this will be difficult to find. However, if your account has been in use for years and has only recently been deleted after sending an abusive message, it may be a very simple investigation. In fact, the email address can be found in the current database service.
To determine if an email is active, you need to test it using one of the many online services that will tell you whether an email is active. You can also send an invoice from a fake email account and see if it bounces. Of course there are many more technical methods that you can use, but in this article we are going over the basics.
If we find the email inactive, halve our investigation techniques. Because we can only analyze incoming email data. In an ideal investigation, we will investigate the sender’s computer by analyzing the information we can capture when they open us an email from the preface we sent them.
So, we will need to analyze the incoming headers and extract the IP address, use geo tracking, IP location and good old Whois to identify the sender’s ISP. We can also investigate the IP address to see if it is connected to any other network activity. But besides IP data, we will also be able to tell senders an email program, such as Outlook Express.
We can email the database search to see if it has been used online in the past. We can search the deep web, member ship pages, online billing and payment services to find out if an email address has ever been used in a financial transaction. Social networks also have an email search feature to find or add friends.
There are also pay searches such as online infidelity investigations and online gambling research that can find emails on the gaming website or secret online personal ads on dating sites. This type of email investigation can actually restore the image of the person behind the email address.
As you can see it is possible to track emails and locate or identify the sender even if the email address has been deactivated or deleted.
