How to check if an email exists or not?
Question
Email
Development

I want to check if an email exists or not without sending an email. If the email isn't working then system should generate an error for non-existing email.

 How can I achieve this?

You cannot. You can only check if the domain is valid (though not directly with OutSystems), but whether there's a valid mailbox with a user that's before the @ is impossible to tell.

That said, there are some commercial companies like this one, that claim to be able to check e-mail addresses, but I'm not sure how good they are.

Hi Navneet,

The OP explicitly asked without sending an email. The link you posted is checking errors after sending an e-mail.
