In this tutorial i shall be writing about the trick to get the IP Address of sender in Yahoo Mail. This is useful if someone is spamming your inbox with junk mail or any other reason you may have to find the location of the email sender.
Note: You won't be able to find the real IP address if the sender uses an anonymous proxy server.
Here is a step by step guide to get the IP address of an email sender in Yahoo! Mail:
1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
2. Click on Inbox or any folder where you have stored your mail.
3. Open the mail
4. At the bottom right region of the email, you'll see there is a drop-down option "Full Headers". If you can't find it press Ctrl+F and search for "header".
5. Click on it and look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].
6. That should most likely be the IP address of the sender. If there are many instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the IP address in the last pattern. If there are no instances of Received: from with the IP address, select the first IP address in X-Originating-IP.
Now, you can find the exact location of the sender by using GeoBytes IP Locator or IP2Location.
