every email sent to you has the IP address in what is called “the header” The header can be seen by setting your options on your email to “FULL HEADER” In that header is a series of numbers. Copy the sequence of numbers and go to Yahoo and type in: IP lookup paste the IP address into that lookup and hit search it will give you the info of where THAT ip address is HOWEVER…many email harassers or spammers use fake IP addresses and send them thru a proxy, ie: a fake IP address that misleads you to think it came from Belaruski, Russia, or Turkey, etc.
