I forgot my email address. Is there a way I can get it back? I’m not sure what to do. Please help me out. Thanks

I’m astounded by the number of emails I get on this issue – at least a couple each day. Though it does surprise me (as it would most readers) – how can someone forget their email address?. I suppose it does happen and so here are a few tips to help you recover it.
Did you ever use that email account – sent a message to someone?
If you had ever sent a message from the account, contact the person and ask them for your email address. I obviously assume that the recipient has retained your email message and not deleted it and that you can get in touch with them either via phone or face-to-face.

By the way, recovering a forgotten email address will not guarantee account access – you also need the correct password. Because there are so many different types of email accounts it’s not possible to provide step by step instructions to retrieve a forgotten email password. I suggest visiting the following links for more information:
- Reset Yahoo email password
- Forgot Yahoo ID or password
- Hotmail password
- Recover lost Gmail password
- Recover Outlook Express password
Forgot a newly created email address?
Now this is a much easier issue to handle. Why? To quote an adage – you’ll never miss something you never had! So if you never used the email account, just forget about it.
Simply go ahead and create a second email address. You can quickly get an email address from free services like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail. And if you feel that it’s going to raise red flags – BAH! No one cares how many email accounts you create as long as you don’t use them to send spam.
Below are links to articles with detailed instructions on how to create email accounts on the three most popular services:
I have used my account before but can’t seem to find a record of any one who may have kept an email from me. Is there anyway of looking up my old email account? I was absolutely sure that the address I have been entering was valid (Hotmail account) but it doesn’t seem to be working. I need to access this account and don’t want to lose what subscriptions I’ve made to this account.
Monica, one last resort if you’ve completely forgotten the email address (and since you cannot find any one who’s kept a record of your address), is to check the services that you’ve subscribed to from this Hotmail account. Most probably you’ll find the email address in the ‘Accounts’ (or equivalent) page.
Today I signed up for a new e-mail. My problem is I forgot my new e-mail address.
@Frank Ruggieri,
Like I mentioned in the article, just ignore the address you created and get a new one.
I know that it’s funny to forget your email address but i have lots of them. So it’s easy to forget. My email address was my Facebook’s. I signed up with it. So i can’t login and it’s important.
I know you don’t have to find a way to find my email address. But i’ll be so happy if you figure it out. 🙂

I made an email a few days back and just couldn’t remember. Thanks for putting this up. I was able to get the address from a friend.
How can anyone forget their email address? It’s like forgetting your name.
I know my email address but the password doesn’t seem to work. I use the same for Facebook but now I am not able to access my emails on Yahoo.
@Adnan
It seems you have been using the same password for Facebook and Yahoo!Mail. That’s fine. If you can’t get to Yahoo!, someone has either changed the password or you may be entering it incorrectly.
Hi. Yes, it’s kind of weird that people forget their email address. Lol
I made this email sometime back and then hardly ever used it. I forgot about it but then got it back
if you could help please i did this email about a year ago but used it once to create an intsagram account, this account is so important to me and they have reset my password by themselves, and to gain access i should reset password through my email that i have forgotten and not sent through it to any one, what should i do ? it’s a very important instagram account.
Thank you
