Email Checker Basic

If you're not sure an email address is good or not, you could try to send a test email and explain later to the recipient why you've sent it. A better solution is to get Email Checker Basic. This simple utility can tell you if a given email address is valid or not, without having to send anything to that address. It can provide you with a few other details as well, so even if you verify a fake address, you will know exactly which part of it is invalid.

Email Checker Basic is offered as a freeware application, though you can make a donation if you want to. The application comes in a small package and it can be installed in under a minute, without making any complex settings. It doesn't require any special tools or services and it doesn't use too much memory or processing power.

Typing or pasting an email address and clicking a button is literally all you have to do. The application goes through several steps to verify the given address. It checks the input itself, then the address format and finally it checks whether the server supports email verifying or not. Even if the server doesn't support email verifying, the application is capable of telling you if the address is valid or not.

A log of the checking process can be found on the bottom part of the application's compact user interface. Also, the validity of the address is displayed clearly, with a large green check mark or a red X, on the same window. You can also find a short description, which lets you know a bit more about the address and its server.

If you want to know if an email address is valid or not, Email Checker Basic can provide you with this information almost instantly.
