It carries the basic fundamental information such as from whom the email comes, to whom it is addressed, date/time it was sent and the subject of the email.

Knowledge of this information is essential for analysis and investigation purposes on cases involving email abuse, spamming, harassment, forgeries and mail-bombing.

The possibility of learning who provides the service for an email address is always a great way to use the services yourself and also to learn more about the people who own the address.

These services are usually not free and have different options available when deciding to run a search on any and all emails.

The possible ways to get information about email providers is to take advantage of one of these reverse email lookups. They require some basic information such as the email address itself or the name of the person, their age and some other small information snippets which can complete the search. This will find information throughout the thousands of email service providers which are available both freely and through paid services online. It may seem that this would be illegal in some way, but the information is actually publicly available but it is very difficult to find without the help of such services.

Taking advantage of these services requires an active membership the reverse lookup service. These plans could be offered in one of two ways. The first is through a 24 hour option which offers unlimited email searches during that period of time. The other option is a monthly subscription for a whole year. The 24 hour search option is usually the most expensive because the monthly payments on the yearly subscription are lower. The process of searching for this information manually would take a very long time to complete while using these services can get results in as little as a few seconds.
