Many times one would like to know the location of an email sender.

Is it possible?

Yes, it is. You can easily trace who is sending emails to you and locate their location. Moreover you can know their IP addresses.

Below are the simple steps to get all these above information:

First we need to find the Email header which contains information about the sender including the IP address, router, and receiver.
Getting the email header depends on what type of email you are using.
If you are using YAHOO, all you have to do is to click on the message, and click on “full header” under the header list.
If you are using HOTMAIL, right click on the message and click “View Source”, and you need all the information shown.


If you are using GMAIL, click on the message that you want to trace, then click on the arrow next to “Reply” link, and press “show original”.
If you are using OUTLOOK, right click on the message, and press “Message Options”. You will see the “Internet Headers”.

After getting the Email Header, go to http://www.ip-adress.com/trace_email/ and paste it in the empty field. Then press “Trace Email Sender”

It will pinpoint to you the sender’s location on the MAP.

Amazing, isn’t it?
