Find where an address is used in your domain
To see where an address is used, open the admin console, go to Manage Domain(s), expand your domain and click Locate Email Address. Type the address, or just the part before the @, and click Search. The result shows whether it is in a mailing list, group, address book, forwarding rule or block list.
How to find where an address is used in your domain
Where: Admin console › Manage Domain(s) › your domain › Locate Email Address
- Open Manage Domain(s), expand your domain and click Locate Email Address.
- Type the Email Address. If you type only the name, your domain is added for you.
- Click Search.
- Read the table. Each column lists where the address was found.
What the result shows
| Column | Meaning |

| In Domain-Level Group | Domain-level groups that include the address. |
| In Address Book | Address books that hold the address. |
| In Advance forwarding | Forwarding rules that involve the address. |
| In Block List | Block lists that include the address. |
If the address is not in any of these, the table says No Data Available.
Fields
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Email Address | The address to look up. It must be a mailbox in your domain. If there is no @, your domain is added. Required. |

Example
Anita is asked why Meera still gets mail from an old project list. She types
meerain Locate Email Address, clicks Search, and finds her address under In Mailing List. She then removes her from that list.
Good to know
- You can look up addresses of your own domain only.
- The page only shows where the address is used. To change something, open the mailing list, group or user.
Common questions
What does "User Not Found" mean?
The address is not a user of your domain. Check the spelling, or open Manage Users to confirm the mailbox exists.
What do ML and G mean?
A note at the top right of the result explains it. ML is a mailing list and G is a group.
