I know finding IP address of email sender is a very simple thing, because whenever we send an email message to anyone then few unwanted information goes along with our message which is known as header information. Header information involves IP address, which is also one of the most secrete thing of any user.
But you should know that all the email service does not include header information.
For the example - Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail include IP addresses in outgoing message but Gmail doesn’t include the IP address of the sender. If you are unknown from this information of Gmail then you can know from here.
In one case you can get IP address of email sender in gmail, if he or she is using a desktop email client like Mozilla Thunderbird or the Gmail app to send that email.
I personally feel that those people who use Gmail, sometimes they get irritated when they want to know the IP address of email sender and after several try becomes unable to find out. So, here’s the simple guide:
