Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail

1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.
3. Click on the Subject of the email you want to track and right-click. You should get a menu like this.
4. You may copy the headers and use my IP address detection script to ease the process. Or if you want to manually find the IP address, proceed to the next step.
5. Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ].
   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.
6. Track the IP address of the sender

IP Address Detection Script

  In this case, the unnecessary headers (like Subject:) will be removed automatically.
• You can remove all headers except those beginning with
  • X-Originating-IP:
  • Received:
