Find the IP address of the email sender in Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail, AOL


Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

  1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
  2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.
  3. Click on the Subject of the email you want to track and right-click. You should get a menu like this.
  4. Click on the View full Headers (See the Picture)
  5. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].
    That should most likely 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.




Finding IP address in Hotmail
      1. Log into your Hotmail/Windows Live account with your username and password.
      2. Click on the Inbox link on the left.
      3. Under the column that says "Sort by", find the email that you want to track and right-click on it. You should get a menu that has something like Mark as readMark as unread, and so on. The last option in the menu should be View message source. Select it. (See the Picture)
      4. You should see the email headers now.
      5. If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender's IP address
      6. If that doesn't work, look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
      7. * If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.


      Finding IP address in AOL

      1. Log into your AOL Mail AIM account with your username and password.
      2. Open the email that you want to track.
      3. On the top row, click on Action and in the drop-down menu, select View Message Source (See the Picture)
      4. It opens a new page with the headers. Once you have the headers, look for the IP address that follows X-AOL-IP:. That should be the IP address of the sender.

      1. Nice blog useful for those who are looking for some other tricks to find the ip address of a sender in yahoo,gmail,hotmail and so on ...I followed the tips which you mentioned here and easily figured out the ip address of one victim who used to send unwanted mail to me in yahoo mail ...After finding the ip address i did whois search for that ip address through sites like WhoisXY.com to trace his location but i can trace only details like ip location ,country ,ISP name ,ISP address and so on but i can't trace exact home address of that person from ip address we can trace only ISP details from ip address ..
