How To Trace An Email Address

This is my second post after sharing my 1st post on hide your IP address related to the Labels of IP. Therefore, today I am going to tell you how to trace an email sent to you whether it is of your friend,relative, and anonymous also. In this, you have to find just Email header and your work will be done! And also providing you an software named as EmailTrackerPro which helps you to insert email header details & get the desired results.

 

What is an Email header?

Each email you receive comes with headers. The headers contain information about the routing of the message and the originating Internet Protocol address of the message. Not all electronic messages you receive will allow you to track them back to the originating point and depending on how you send messages determines whether or not they can trace an email address back to you. The headers don't contain any personal information. At most, the results of the trace with show you the origination IP and the computer name that sent the email. After viewing the trace information, the initiating IP can be looked up to determine from where the message was sent. IP address location information DOES NOT contain your street name, house number, or phone number. The trace will most likely determine the city and the ISP the sender used.

How do I get the Email header to start the trace email process?

Each electronic messaging program will vary as to how you get to the message options. I'll cover the basics to start the trace...the rest is up to you.

• Outlook - Right click the message while it's in the inbox and choose Message Options. A window will open with the headers in the bottom of the window.

• Windows Live - Right click the correspondence while it's in the inbox, choose Properties, then click the Details tab.

• Gmail - Open the correspondence. In the upper right corner of the email you'll see the word Reply with a little down arrow to the right. Click the down arrow and choose Show Original.

• Hotmail - Right click the memo and choose View Message Source.

• Yahoo! - Right click the note and choose View Full Headers.

• AOL - Click Action and then View Message Source.

You can see that no matter the program, the headers are usually just a right click away.

I've got the header, now how do I start the trace?

The next step to trace an email address is to find the first IP listed in the header. This is most likely the IP initiating point. However, there are exceptions to this. You'll have to look at the information logically to deduce the originating IP.
