Internet Newbie - Need to Ask A Question

[Minstrel]

I am quite new to internet/email etc and was wondering if you get such a thing as an email directory you know a way to look up some-one's email address much like a phone book?

hi Minstrel

I know on hotmail/msn there is a directory you can look at. I am not sure of any others tho.

you don't tend to because people like to keep them private due to spam (unsolicited email)

hotmail does have a directory but you can choose to not be in it

if you are looking for someone try google.co.uk and type in the name in quotation marks .. you can see if anything comes up or have you tried friendsreunited.co.uk to see if listed

or is it a business address you want??

Thanks will try google/friends reunited.
