How do you find out where someone is emailing you from?
Posted Sunday, November 14, 2010 by admin
Its a long story short, I need to find out where these emails I’m getting are coming from.
It’s kinda of a matter of my saftey so if anyone knows please help.
I don’t want to hack there account, I just want to find out what country or state the emails are coming from.

There is no way to do that. But you can enter their mails as spam. And whenever they e-mail you, they go into spam.
Are they sending disturbing images? What are they doing so bad? E- mail me for more help.
contact google and tell them your story, I’m sure they would be willing to help.
Change your e-mail adress.
You can view the header of the email.
I can tell you how if you tell me what email you use.
The IP address and name of the computer is contained in the header.
If they are threatening or stalking you, report them to their ISP.
The header, contained in every email, will look something like this:
Received: by sphinx (mbox mlande) (with Cubic Circle’s cucipop (v1.31 1998/05/13) Wed Aug 20 19:41:38 2003)
X-From_: Wed Aug 20 19:40:22 2003
Return-Path:
Received: from psmtp.com (exprod5mx37.postini.com [12.158.34.194]) by sphinx.got.net (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-6.3) with SMTP id for ; Wed, 20 Aug 2003 19:40:05 -0700
Message-Id:
Received: from source ([69.9.251.177]) by exprod5mx37.postini.com ([12.158.34.245]) with SMTP; Wed, 20 Aug 2003 21:40:05 CDT
From:
Just to make sure it is this?
You could contact the person that runs the server the emails are coming from. If it is a G-mail site then contact G-mail and give them the id and have them run it down. In order for them to be online they have to run it through an ISP somewhere. Hope this helps.
If you are using a Windows-based email program:
Highlight the message, right click on it.
Click on “properties”
Click “details” tab
Click on “message source”
You will see the entire chain of addresses, the very first one in the “from” area is the originating addy.
if you are not that computer smart, it will be difficult for you to find the origin of the email. but the source of the email is just there esp if that person is using his/her own ISP to send the email. if the email is sent thru a net cafe, it will show also the origin of the country and net cafe’s IP. if you are using your own ISP also to receive that emails, you may contact your ISP to provide you the details of the source of that email you got (i think you need to pay the charge for that depending i guess on the country where you are and your ISP service).
The below example is taken from the above post by a user.

The headers *may* help you. I run my own email server (it’s easy to do) so I can send emails that claim to be coming from anywhere. All you get is my IP address. (I’m not stalking anyone – my emails appear to come from one of my web sites, and replies really do go there.)
