Trace Email Sender

If you have received an email and you would like to attempt to locate the source IP address based on the email headers (where did the email come from). Just copy and paste the full email headers of the email you have received into the box, by clicking the web site link below, then paste the email headers information into the box and click on "get source."

HOW TO OBTAIN EMAIL HEADERS

To obtain email headers information from an email, go to the menu and click on "file" when you have an email open, then click on "properties" and you will see another window open that states "details." Click on "details" and then right click and "select all" of the email headers text in the window. Then select "copy." Now you are ready to "paste" the email headers text into the box you can view by visiting the web site link below. "Paste" the email headers text into the box and click on "get source." When this is done, scroll down the page and you will be given some location details regarding an attempt to locate the source IP address (where did the email come from). Good luck.
