Electronic mail, or most commonly known as email, has become the standard for exchange of
information throughout the Internet. The email address is what you enter into the ‘Recipient'
section of a composed email so that you can send it to that specific person. Many companies hire
groups of individuals to uphold their email lists for various information and updates concerning the
company. With the quick growth rate of the Internet (about 2.2 billion email users around the
world), it can be hard to determine which email addresses have already been taken or are valid.
This information is important to know if you are planning to market to possible new customers or
want to clean up a subscribed email list.
There's always the usual method of contact list clean up. This requires downloading the contact
list as a text file and then opening the two text files next to one another. Then you start the
process of reading through each list and looking for duplicates in the other list. This technique is
incredibly inefficient and a huge waste of your time.
Fortunately, a program is available from www.hothotsoftware.com that permits for a huge
evaluation of email addresses. By going to the website and searching for ‘Email List Management'
you can find a program to satisfy your specific purpose. After opening the software, you will find
that it is written in a traditional user interface so almost anyone familiar with a computer can
master the software. The software also functions entirely within a single window. This reduces
any possibility of getting lost within the program. The window of the program is separated into two
primary areas. The left area of the window has a box that can be populated with possible email
addresses. These addresses can be anything that you wish to check the availability on. These
addresses can be loaded en masse by loading text files of the email lists. The right area permits
for input of any additional email addresses to compare in the search. These are entered in the
same fashion as the initial list. The program also has the capability to sort the email lists in
ascending or descending order. Beyond these abilities lie the true perks of this software. The lists
can be cleaned in a ‘basic' sense to verify that all email addresses are correct. Then, any
addresses that can be found in list 1 can be omitted from list 2 and vice versa. Then, the lists can
be cleaned further to remove any addresses that contain certain characters. For example, typing
‘gmail' into the ‘omit containing' box would remove all email addresses related to gmail.com.
