The From: and To: parts of an email message are whatever a sender wants them to be. Especially if they are not using a standard email program.

A received email includes header information detailing its origin and the path the message took to reach you. You can access this information from many email readers. For example:

  • In Yahoo mail, click on More and select View Raw Message.
  • In Gmail at the right of the reply button, click the down triangle and select show original.
  • In Thunderbird, choose View > Headers > All
  • In Microsoft outlook, find the Properties or Option, Show Options or Message Options and Header information appears in the Internet headers box. Unfortunately Different releases of Outlook do things differently.

Every mail reader has its own way of doing things. Try Searching with "How to Get Email Headers" for specifics. As of May, 2017, mxtoolbox.com has a nice list covering many mail readers.

The email message headers have information mostly provided by the email system. Of interest are the lines starting with "Received: by " and "Received: from " . They describe the origin and the path taken by the message to reach you. The first one usually connects to the original sender where the message first came from. The last one is normally the mail server from where you received the message.

Use gmail. when you give out you email address anywhere just put +---

ex.

Giving your email to Amazon.com:

email+amazon@gmail.com

then if you get an email whatever is after the plus is where the email came from
