    Hi,

    Is it possible to find the IP address of the sender from the email?

    If so, discuss some of the things you know about it.

    I received a mail in ymail, the sender send it from Gmail. I tried as said by "Deluxdon" . I found an IP, but that IP belongs to Google server. It is not the original IP of that sender i think. Because the IP location is saying as "USA" , but the sender is not from USA.

    Unless you can obtain the mail server recordings it is not possible . Further more most mail servers do not keep such logs .
    In case of any big free e-mail service like Yahoo , Gmail , Hotmail or AOL it will be next to impossible since such servers are protected by massive firewall servers .

    Unless you're committed to dedicating a huge amount of resources (about 1000 regular dedis and about 50 GBs is a minimum minimorum) you don't have a chance . Even so the chance that the server will start to fail and the logs will be exposed is a small one .

    In other words .... forget about it .
