email tracing

Generally, the path taken by an email while traveling from sender to receiver can be explained by following diagram.

So here is the method of tracing the exact location from the email sent.I am showing the email tracing on yahoo here but gmail and other mail providing services have same concept.

Step 1:-First open up your email account and click on your inbox.

Step 2:-Now Select any email that you want to trace

Step 3:-After Opening scrool the mail at the end and in right corner you will see a option FULL HEADER click on it

Step 4:- Now Closely Look at the the header you will find the whole detail that from which IP address it is sent.

Have a close eye on these contents

1. Received From: - 127.0.0.1(EHLO mail-qy-f200.google.com) (209.85.221.200)
The IP address at last is the real IP address of the person who is sending this mail.

2. To see the proper location of this IP address Go to www.whatismyip.com or www.whois.domaintools.com .These websites help you to find the whole detail and satellite images of the ISP location from the Email was sent.



My Suggestion:- "After finding the IP address of the sender I recommend to use www.whois.domaintools.com to get satellite image of the location from the mail is received."
