Dear James
Many thanks , but can i know if this mail sent from my internal organization or not i mean any logs or something like that trace who use this mail using my Organization internet service .

Unfortunately not. Mail tracking logs will be with Google on their servers as that is where the mail passed through. At most, you will have web tracking logs, perhaps on a firewall or proxy. But all that will tell you is that a particular computer (possible login as well) accessed Gmail. It won't tell you what they sent or to whom or even when they hit the send button, or what account is was from.
I'm afraid that what you are trying to find out or prove is not going to be possible unless you are working for MI6 or the FBI! If it was criminal in the content of this e-mail by any chance, then I suggest reporting it to the Police, but it's unlikely to go far unless it's serious.

In Gmail, you can open the email and then (using options), open the email Headers. Once you can see the headers, look down for Message ID. What is the message ID - Can you post it here?
John, my understanding is that he has received the e-mail in the organisation FROM someone using Gmail account. Alkannetworks, can you confirm?
You should be able to find that in the Message ID. Do find message ID as it is very helpful. All emails have a message ID
Unless GMail e-mail servers can be accessed to track the message using the ID, I don't see how it will be useful. The OP already knows the message originated from outside of his organisation from GMail.

You need to find the header in the email.
Message-ID: <126132361.0.1470050885773 @cron.prod .aws.redsr ci.com>
Subject: An Author Comment has been posted: Discover threat mail
There could be a Header icon, View Source icon, or email message -> Properties.
From there you should be able to use the Gmail support form. I do this for Gmail spam.

Alkannetworks, there'll be a MessageID as pointed out in the messages from John and Sudeep above. My points earlier and repeated to you now, are that this information is useless to you. You have no way of making use of the MessageID, as you have no way of checking mail logs that are residing on GMails servers. And all MXToolbox.com does is put everything from a message header into a nicely human readable format but tells you nothing of use.
All of it would be useful if the message originated on your servers and you had access to message tracking logs. It didn't; and you do not.
I'm going to sign of from this thread now and hope that the other 2 posters don't waste too much more of your time leading you around in circles. Wishing you all the best.

If the mail is coming from your own organization, James is correct that the information will not help.
If the mail is coming from outside your organization, the mail sender ISP may be able to assist.
I am only asking you to look to see.

Dear John Hurst
Thanks , I have posted the problem to Google support as your advise
Thanks , I have posted the problem to Google support as your advise
You will not hear from Google. I do not. But I always report Gmail spam and over time, the occurrence have reduced. Same with WhatsApp spam.
ASKER
Many Thanks For U help
Only law enforcement could force Gmail through the court process to trace beyond it being from Gmail and knowing whose IP was used when connected to the account and writing/sending the e-mail.
So the short answer is that there is no way for you to trace and know who sent the e-mail. You may have your suspicions about someone in your internal organisation sending it, but you can't prove it.
I hope that is what you were asking. That is certainly how i have interpreted your question. Good luck and all the best.
