Emails.

Is it possible to find out where they come from, I dont mean the email address, but who they actually belong to or place they are sent from? If so is it easy to do?

I have just been sent a strange one, well earlier today not just at this minute.

Thanks.

 

Sorry was meant for a lady friend, i do apologise!

 

Do you mean lady boy friend?

 

Look at the header and ip addresses.

 

Which bit is that, the place where it gives the email address? How do I find the ip address?
I have no idea how these things as you may notice. Thanks

 

could be

 

what software you using to read your Emails?

 

it is a hotmail address and a windows 7 pc, I usually use chrome for my browser.

 

The email headers will tell you the route that it took and where it started from, but it is trivial to spoof an email address and make it look like it comes from someone else.

 

You'll get the message headers by opening the email, clicking the arrow next to actions and then Vew Message source. This should show a trace of where the Emails have come from including the original IP from this it should be possible to try to trace (unless it was sent from a webmail account)

 

Thank you very much mate.
