    unsure How to get exact location of person(NOT OF SERVER), sent the E-mail

    hi guys! i know that it is possible to get the location of the server (through various sites) from where the mail has been forwarded,

    But i want to know that- Is it possible to know the exact location of the person who has sent the E-mail or at least his City name(Not the name of server city).
    Thanks! in advance.

    unless he is going to tell you no it would be quite difficult as the client can sit anywhere in the world and access his mail server but as far as where he is actually sitting is concerned the ISP might have a log file with the info of ip's etc but it is not accessible to the public.

    Well, you can simply get the city or location of a e-mail sender with the help of hi IP Address and you get his IP address within the Email details... The steps to find out the same is different for yahoo, gmail, etc... You can find the complete details and how to do so, in the following thread : How to get the original location of an email

    Just have a look.

    You can pretty easily find out the IP address of an email sender in GMail, Yahoo Mail, and Outlook. Follow the below tips:

    First, you have to log into your account and open the email in question.
    After that you just need to click on the down arrow that’s to the right of the Reply link and choose Show Original from the list.

    After doing all above, you have to look for the lines of the text that start with the “Received: from“. Now, here's the trick, if you want to find the first computer that originally sent the email, you’ll have to find the Received From that’s farthest DOWN.

    More information here.
