How to trace an Email:

Before you assume anything, let me tell you at the beginning itself that this method WILL NOT give you the perfect address of the machine. This is used for figuring out the location approximately.
GMAIL and Yahoo! Mail.
Select the mail. and enable full headers( found at the bottom of the message). Upon enabling, you can see other information regarding the message such as through which server it cam from, receiving server, path and all. Look for "Received" row. the ip address of the sender is present within the pair of braces. Note : This is not always a guaranteed method as the IP address of the mail servers are sometimes added instead of machine IP.
