I thought that there would be some information on how it finds anyone's email address, especially at "How It Works" [0].

BTW, if one has signed up on LinkedIn using their non-work address, e.g. gmail, do you manage to find their personal address or the work one? I guess that it'd be latter, right?

We only find work email addresses, and to find emails we use a variety of methods - Some include checking the mail server, using various APIs, using social verification to see if the email is signed up somewhere, crawling the web, scraping domains, etc.
