To check the origin of an email in Yahoo Mail, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Check the "From" field

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Open the email you want to check.
  3. Look at the "From" field, which is usually located at the top of the email.
  4. Check the email address listed in the "From" field. This should give you an idea of who sent the email.

Method 2: Check the "Headers"

  2. Open the email you want to check.
  3. Click on the three dots (⋯) at the top right corner of the email.
  4. Select "View original" from the dropdown menu.
  5. This will open the email headers in a new window.
  6. Look for the "Received" headers, which will show you the IP address and domain name of the mail server that received the email.
  7. You can also look for the "X-Originating-IP" header, which may show you the IP address of the sender's computer.

Method 3: Use Yahoo Mail's built-in "Spam" filter

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Open the email you want to check.
  3. Click on the "Spam" button at the top of the email.
  4. If the email is marked as spam, you can click on the "Report as not spam" button.
  5. This will open a new window with more information about the email, including the sender's IP address and domain name.

Method 4: Use a third-party email client or add-on

  1. You can also use a third-party email client or add-on, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or the Yahoo Mail add-on for Firefox, to check the origin of an email.
  2. These tools may provide more detailed information about the email, including the sender's IP address and domain name.

Remember that email headers can be spoofed or manipulated, so while these methods can give you an idea of where an email came from, they are not foolproof. Always exercise caution when opening emails from unknown senders, and be wary of phishing scams.
