There are general instructions for all email services, but there are specific instructions for some of the major providers.

General Instructions for Finding Your Email Address

You can identify your email in almost any email program or service by opening the program or service and:

  • Start a new email message.
  • Look for a line that begins with From. It contains your email address.
  • When you compose an email, the From line usually displays a menu choice if you have more than one e-mail address configured for sending. All the e-mail addresses listed are yours. You can use any of them.

View your email address with an Echo service

You can find out what your emails look like by sending yourself one. You just need your email address.

You don’t have to know your address to do that. When you send an email to an email echo service, it is sent right back to you. You’ll know exactly what you sent and from which address.

Echo services, which are typically offered by universities, are safe to use. Known services do not store your message or your email, nor do they sell or otherwise use it.

You can use an echo service such as the one provided by the Vienna University Computer Center by sending an email to [email protected]. You will receive a response with your email in the To field.

  • In your email program or service, create a new email message.
  • Enter [email protected] in the To field. There is no need to include a subject line or message.
  • Select Send.
  • Open the email from Vienna University Echo.
  • You will find your email address in the To line at the top of the e-mail address.

There are other ways to find your email, but they vary depending on the service you use.
