  1. POP: POP (Post office protocol) is a one-way download of your messages that allows you to access your mail with a mail program like Outlook Express or Apple Mail. POP only offers one-way communication, which means that actions you take in the mail program (like marking a message as read) won’t be synced to Gmail.
  2. domain: A domain is a name for an IP address and is more commonly recognized as a website or web address. For example, Google.com is a domain.
  3. mail server: A mail server is a machine that sends and receives emails. Think of a mail server as a mailman who makes sure messages go to the right place.

How to find the sender’s original IP address using email headers?

So you’d like to to find out just who is sending those email love letters, determine the sender of a blackmail message, or just root out the source of a virus emailed to you. There are indeed many such situations where you would like to know who sent a particular email message to you. This article will teach you how to use “Email Headers” to backtrack and find the original sender’s IP address. Don’t worry, it’s not rocket science.

When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender.

Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.

Also, note that if you receive an email sent from a Gmail account through the web browser, you may not be able to find the real IP address because Google hides the real IP address of the sender. However, if someone sends you a mail from his/her Gmail account using a client like Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, you can find the originating IP address.

Lets begin this. First of all, the IP address is generally found in the headers enclosed beween square brackets, for instance, [129.130.1.1]

Finding IP address in Gmail

  1. Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.
  2. Open the mail.
  3. To display the email headers, click on the inverted triangle beside Reply. Select Show Orginal.
  4. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to 5.
  5. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].

    Received: from [69.138.30.1] by web31804.mail.mud.yahoo.com

  6. If you find more than one Received: from patterns, select the last one.
  7. Track the IP address of the sender

Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

  1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
  2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.
  3. Click on the Subject of the email you want to track and right-click. You should get a menu like this.
    Yahoo Headers
  4. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to the next step.
  5. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ]. That should most likely be the IP address of the sender. If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.
  6. Track the IP address of the sender

Finding IP address in Hotmail

Hotmail has been integrated with Windows Live, or vice-versa. And the format has changed. Here is how you find the IP address of the sender.

  1. Log into your Hotmail/Windows Live account with your username and password.
  2. Click on the Inbox link on the left.
  3. Under the column that says “Sort by”, find the email that you want to track and right-click on it. You should get a menu that has something like Mark as read, Mark as unread, and so on. The last option in the menu should be View message source. Select it.
    hotmail headers
  4. You should see the email headers now.
  5. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to step 6.
  6. If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender’s IP address
  7. If that doesn’t work, look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
  8. If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.
  9. Track the IP address of the sender

Finding IP address in Outlook Express

  1. Select “Properties” from the “File” Menu, or just press ALT+Enter.
    Outlook Express Menu
  2. Next, select the “Details” tab.

Finding IP address in Microsoft Outlook

  1. Open a message.
  2. On the View menu, click Options.
  3. Note: If you do not see the Options command, make sure you click View on the toolbar in an open message window. The View menu on the standard Outlook toolbar does not have the Options command.
  4. The Header information appears under the Delivery options in the Internet Headers box.
