About Trace Email Address
Tracing an email means reading its full headers — the hidden routing information every message carries — to find where it really came from. The header records each mail server ("hop") the message passed through, along with IP addresses and timestamps.
This is invaluable for investigating phishing, spam and spoofed senders. While the visible "From" line is easy to fake, the Received header chain is far harder to forge and often exposes the true origin.
How it works
- 1Open the original message in your mail client and copy the full/raw headers.
- 2Paste them into the analyser below.
- 3We parse the Received chain, list every hop and IP, and highlight the likely originating address.
