Steps to know ip address of e-mail sender!

Many people think that it is not possible to find source of e-mail from where it has originated/sent. Actually it as 100% possible.

You need to do little work to know ip address.

First you need to know about header file: it is like a envelope cover, it contains all details about the respective email.
Generally we don't have option to see header files on web mails(Gmail,yahoo,Rediff etc), but an yahoo mail or a Gmail no matter what it is, it contains header file.

The next, you need to have a e-mail client, for example take Thunderbird. Download Thunderbird e-mail client from Mozilla site and install it on to system.

Then open thunder bird and configure the e-mail service you are using with Thunderbird.

Go to options menu of Thunderbird and select -view all headers option

Now open the e-mail , of which you want to know ip address.and press Cntrl+U, to view the source of the information, all the source will be displayed.

You need to find the text phrase of " Received From: ".

Right next to the Received form ip address will be displayed like something 001.010.001.100 .

Done!
That is the ip address of email sender.
