Yatin Dabhi Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 if you receive an email sent from a Gmail account through the web browser, you may not be able to find the real IP address because Google hides the real IP address of the sender. However, if someone sends you a mail from his/her Gmail account using a client like Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, you can find the originating IP address. is that true ? How can find the Ip address of the sender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can find the Ip address of the sender? Yes it is, that is part of how email works. Some services even go out of there way to place the clients IP address in the email when using the web interface even though there is no need for it.
