Finding IP address in Gmail/Yahoomail/Hotmail

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.

First of all, the IP address is generally found in the headers enclosed between square brackets, for instance, [129.130.1.1]

• Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.
• Open the mail.
• To display the email headers,
• Click on the inverted triangle beside Reply. Select Show Original.
• Manually find the IP address, proceed to 5.
• Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].

Received: from [69.138.30.1] by web4587.mail.***.yahoo.com

That is 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.
