Email is so common that most use it multiple times each day. Though it is still preferred that business communications of great importance are done through postal mail, there are many that use email for other business reasons. The problem with email is that it can be hard to tell from who an email comes at times, and that can be a huge problem for you. If you are getting emails from a particular hotmail address, and you have no idea who it might be, you can do some online searching in hopes of finding answers.
Hotmail (also known as MSN) is a hard type of email to trace because there seems to be no official way to search through their email subscribers. Even if there were, many sign up with a fake name, or perhaps with no name at all, and that means the address could be found, but you would never know the person behind it.
What you can do is to put the email address with the @hotmail.com tag into a search engine to see what comes up. If that email has been posted anywhere online where a search engine can pick it up, you should see some results. If you are lucky, you may find a name to go with that address included in the text results. If someone has gone to great lengths to remain anonymous, however, that may not work.
There are certain types of networks online where people sign up with an email address. That address is hidden on the profiles of social and professional networks if the user deems it necessary, but their profile should come up if you search by that email address. If you get a hit, you can see the person and their profile. Your mystery will have been solved.
It´s not always that easy. You can have problems with a newer address, even when the person has not been trying to hide their identity. If that happens, or if you can not find anything anywhere else, you can use a reverse email lookup to find out more. Not all addresses will come up, but you don´t know until you search and see.
