Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail
- Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
- Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.
- Click on the Subject of the email you want to track and right-click. You should get a menu like this.
- Click on the View full Headers (See the Picture)
- 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
- Log into your Hotmail/Windows Live account with your username and password.
- Click on the Inbox link on the left.
- 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 read, Mark as unread, and so on. The last option in the menu should be View message source. Select it. (See the Picture)
- You should see the email headers now.
- If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender's IP address
- If that doesn't work, look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
- * If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.
Finding IP address in AOL
- Log into your AOL Mail AIM account with your username and password.
- Open the email that you want to track.
- On the top row, click on Action and in the drop-down menu, select View Message Source (See the Picture)
- 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.
