Are you using Outlook? &nbsp;Open the message and use File, Properties and you can see the headers. Normally you can determine the IP address from this.

Its outlook &amp;&nbsp;yes, we have gone into the properties of the email (the reason we inclined to EE assistance).<br />
<br />
Is there a way someone can hide their IP address? Is that possible?

If you cannot find the IP address in the Outlook Headers then it is not there.

Great info!!! Thanx!! &nbsp;Just go off the phone with a colleague talking about this matter and he said that some people uses proxy which thankfully you covered in your previous entry, but he also mention something like &quot;mesh&quot;, which we don't know what it is; if you can, do you guys know anything about this?

Proxies and VPN can possibly obfuscate IP addresses, but &quot;mesh&quot; (Wi-Fi mesh?) does not so far as I know. <br />

If you are trying to trace a spammer, you are likely wasting your time. Legitimate email should have easily discoverable IP addresses

Why can't we see the origin IP of an email address

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

Internet / Email Software

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
