How to find ip address in mail

There are a few ways to find the IP address associated with an email:

Method 1: Using the "Received" header

  1. Open the email in your email client or webmail interface.
  2. Look for the "Received" header at the top of the email. It may be labeled as "Received:" or "Received-SPF:".
  3. The IP address is usually listed after the "Received" header, preceded by the phrase "from" or "via". For example: "Received: from [192.0.2.1] (example.com [192.0.2.1])".

Method 2: Using the "X-Originating-IP" header

  1. Open the email in your email client or webmail interface.
  2. Look for the "X-Originating-IP" header at the top of the email.
  3. The IP address is usually listed after the "X-Originating-IP" header. For example: "X-Originating-IP: [192.0.2.1]".

Method 3: Using a third-party email header analyzer

  1. Copy the email headers (usually found at the top of the email) and paste them into an online email header analyzer tool, such as Email Header Analyzer or Header Analyzer.
  2. The tool will parse the headers and display the IP address associated with the email.

Method 4: Using a network forensic tool

  1. Install a network forensic tool, such as Wireshark or Tcpdump, on your computer.
  2. Capture the network traffic related to the email (e.g., the SMTP conversation between your email client and the email server).
  3. Analyze the captured traffic to find the IP address associated with the email.

Keep in mind that the IP address may not always be available or accurate, especially if the email has been forwarded or relayed through multiple servers. Additionally, some email providers may not disclose the IP address of the sender or may use proxy servers to mask their IP address.
