That led me to the email address he was using on Gmail. I did a search via Google and other services and found that this person was also creating apps on Google; this gave me an idea about his location, and after some time I collected enough information about what the person was doing, where he was living, etc. This small hunt turned into a small sourcing game for me. And during that search, I discovered a useful tool called DeBounce.
I ran his email address through this tool and got his name. Then I ran his name over LinkedIn and found the person who matched all the information I collected about him. This DeBounce data is sourced from over 80 public and private sources.

The results, in this case, were skewed because the email addresses came from an existing marketing list, though none of them had been added to our Freshsales account. Freshsales provided information that included social media links and provided additional contact information like company and name.
Since your contact information already lives in your CRM, it can be an efficient way to gain insight and additional context about your prospect. At the same time, many CRMs charge more for plans with these capabilities, making it a more expensive way to find out more about the owner of a specific email address.
Another option for Google Chrome users is to use browser extensions that identify sender information automatically. For example, FullContact has a Chrome extension for Gmail that users can install that provides contact information for email addresses automatically when viewed in Gmail.
When users receive an email, FullContact gives additional information like company, title, social media, and phone number automatically, using a sidebar in Gmail. In addition to a browser extension, FullContact includes a web and application programming interface API -based dashboard that provides robust contact information that you can use to identify contacts by email address. This allows users to search FullContact directly as well as create API connections with other software tools to add additional contact information.
FullContact provided a name, social media profile links, and in some cases provided a short bio, affinities, work history, and profile photos. Because FullContact lives inside of your Gmail inbox, it is a simple and efficient way to show additional information about the sender of an email address.

For users who need reliable contact search capabilities including reverse email lookup, Spokeo may be a worthwhile investment. This service can be especially helpful for sales professionals who collect a lot of emails and want to reach out and make personal contact. Spokeo was able to identify the owner of 14 of the 15 test emails, making it the most effective for this test, although in some cases it produced multiple possible results.
This required us to do a little deduction to determine which was the correct record. However, Spokeo provided names, home addresses, employment history, relatives, and even makes court records information available at an additional cost.
Since Spokeo provides a variety of types of data including information about current and past addresses, relationships, work history, and background checks, it is certainly one of the more comprehensive ways to gain insight into the owner of an email address.
It also lets you search by other criteria like home address, phone number or social media handle. At the same time, it is a paid service, and the background and social connections require additional fees.

To trace the IP address of the original email sender , head to the first Received in the full email header. Alongside the first Received line is the IP address of the server that sent the email. Enter the IP address in the box, change the search type to Reverse Lookup using the drop-down menu, then hit Enter.
The search results will display a variety of information relating to the sending server. Unless the originating IP address is one of the millions of private IP addresses.
