Trick to Trace the original location and IP Address of the Email Recieved

 

To track an email and its sender's location details you must know his internet IP address from which he sends the email to you. Finding the IP address of an email id is very easy than it seems, here is a quick look over the procedure on how you can track the email and its sender's location by figuring their IP address. Once after we get the IP address of the email sender, it is very easy for us to track the location.

Finding the location is very useful in verifying the mails and the place they are sent. Since we receive lot of mails everyday some of them might be verified for safety if they are regarding some offers or prizes.

Basically there are two basic steps involved in this email tracking, one is finding the ip of thee email sender in the header section and then then checking the location of that ip address.

To find the IP address of an email in the world's most popular Gmail:
- Login to you gmail and open the email which you want to trace
- Select the down arrow which is to the right of the reply link.
- Click on the show original option from the list.

Here is the most important part of this trick, you need to check for the "Received: from". It is easy for you to find it by pressing Control+F and to search for the keyword I have mentioned. You will find many received from addresses in the message header, this is just because the message header grabs all the IP addresses involved in routing the mail to you.

To find the IP Address you can see the Received from IP address from yahoo mail sent to me from my friend Manjunath from Mysore.

Now let’s  trace this ip address…
