Description

@emeth-

Gmail / Google Apps email addresses can be validated with 100% accuracy using this method, and here's an example implementation.

Alternative Google implementation: https://github.com/megadose/holehe/tree/master/holehe/modules/mails/google.py

EDIT 20.05.2025: Google disabled this method: #937 (comment). Open to new ideas

Office 365 email addresses are a bit trickier. There are some older enumeration options that no longer work reliably. The method outlined in this blog post still works today - with one caveat. It detects valid Office 365 email addresses with 100% accuracy IF the user has opened OneDrive at least once. However, it cannot tell the difference between an invalid email, or a valid email belonging to a user who has never opened OneDrive. Still it's useful as it generates no false positives. Here's an example implementation.

If any external contributor wants to pick an individual provider to work on, feel free to open a PR.
