Receiving and sending emails is part of our daily lives, but have you been bothered by a continuous stream of spam and irrelevant ads? sometimes blocking an email address is not enough, we need to block the sender once for good. so here comes the question, how to find the real physical location of the sender and then block the ip address?
Don’t worry, this post is here to help you. we’ll show you how to search for email addresses and locate the sender’s location.
gmail does not show the real ip address of the sender
many posts online would tell you that the easiest way to trace an ip address from the sender’s location is to check email headers. but you can’t get the real ip address of the mail sender in gmail.
It’s because email ip addresses can be considered sensitive information, so gmail would not clearly display the sender’s email ip address. google will use their server to process the email, so you can’t see the exact ip address of the email sender, you can only see the ip address that belongs to google servers.
If you want to verify it yourself, you can follow the steps to verify email header in gmail.
1) open gmail.
2) open the sender’s message in gmail.
3) Click the three dots button to the right, then click show original.
4) In the pop-up tab, See SPF (sender policy framework), you’ll see the sender’s IP address.
5) Use a free IP lookup tool (e.g. https://who.is/) to fetch the location of the sender. Obviously, the IP address points to a Google server.
So how to trace an email sender’s location? Don’t worry, read on to find how.

If the person in question uses the same email id, once you search, it will display their profile in front of you. if not, there is a website called ‘knowem’, where you can search for his profile.
