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. Open the mail.
4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed. To display the headers,
   
   • Click on Options on the top-right corner
   • In the Mail Options page, click on General Preferences
   • Scroll down to Messages where you have the Headers option
   • Make sure that Show all headers on incoming messages is selected
   • Click on the Save button
   • Go back to the mails and open that mail
   
   
5. You should see similar headers like this:
   
   

   Message ID <200021200***** .20202.gmail@*** .mail.in.yahoo.com>
   From [66.***.66.**] by *** .mail.in.yahoo.com via HTTP;

6. 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.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook, you right click on the e-mail and go to options (messege options). You will see a series of "X-Originating-IP: numbers and other IP address; Those are were the e-mail had to go through to get to your computer. Like a letter in the mail, it goes through city offices before it get's to your address. What you will do is scroll to the bottom of the box and work your way up, that is the best way to start looking is from bottom first. You should see "MIME-Version: #, next "Importance:", "Date", "Subject", "To:" (which is your e-mail), then the "From:" which will display the name recorded on the sender's e-mail account and his/her e-mail address, when you sign up for hotmail, yahoo, msn, it asks you to put your first and last name, that's what that is. Then last but least, "X-Originating-IP:[12.345.678.90]example IP(it will show the IP of the senders computer address). REMEMBER to start from the bottom of the box and go up!

F.Y.I
I sent myself an e-mail from Hotmail to my Outlook e-mail, that is how I know it works. I did it myself. And if you want to test it, find your IP address by opening "MSDOS" (command prompt) and type ipconfig /all That will show you the Windows IP Configuration and the PPP adapter (your ISP Here).
It will show you your physical address, IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS servers, and if your NetBIOS over TC/IP is enabled or disabled.

OHH OH OH OH!!! To double check to make sure you have the right IP address, use the tracert command in MSDOS (command prompt)just type tracert (IP) so it should look like c:>tracert xx.xxx.xxx.xx and that will show you all the computers, networks, routers, hubs, switches that you have to go through to get to the designated IP. It will also disply their computer name. Sometimes you might need to add hops if they have a well secured and lengthy connection but standard hops is 30. A hop is how many hosts you have to go through. after that, if you want to know if they are online, type ping xx.xxx.xxx.xx, should look like C:>ping 123.456.56.77 (whatever their IP is) and if you get any reply than they are connected online.
