Communication over the internet has revolutionized the world in the same way that the telephone did at the beginning of the twentieth century. After all, no matter where we are in the world, we can correspond with our friends, family, and business colleagues at any time of day, and any day of the week. Whether or not the recipient is online at the same time as the sender, the message will be received the next time the recipient signs on to his or her email account. For this reason, the majority of us find that email messaging is – on the whole – pleasant.

On the other hand, though, there are other kinds of messages that are irritating, frustrating, and – even worse – damaging to our computers. These include spam, ads, and emails that contain vicious and dangerous applications such as viruses, spyware, and worms.

The thing is, it isn’t always easy to tell the difference between those two kinds of correspondence. After all, spammers and email scammers work very hard to trick you into opening up their message and seeing their ad or being infected by their malware. So you need to arm yourself with the right online tools for finding out who is behind those unknown emails in your inbox. Luckily, there are resources on the internet available for anyone who wants to find out as much information as possible for an email address.

There are two things that you need to be able to do to get that job done. The first is to find out what the real sending address is – not just the one the sender wants you to see. The second is to use a reverse email search to find the name and other associated information registered with the sender’s address.

Finding the header isn’t difficult to do. When using webmail, it’s usually a matter of changing the settings on your inbox so that you can see not only the information that has been entered by the sender, but the actual sending email as well. If you have email software, you can usually right click to check the properties of the email, which will reveal the header to you. The header will have a lot of coding and complex looking information. All you need to do is look for the email address that is located within it. That’s what you’ll want to use in your lookup.

Next, go to a very good reverse email tracing website where you can enter the address and find out about any data that was registered when the person obtained the address. If it’s not someone you know or have requested to hear from, the odds are it is spam and you should simply delete the message before it infects your computer with something unpleasant. One great resource to conduct a reverse email search is http://www.myfreeemailsearch.com. This site contains the world’s largest publicly available directory of email addresses and is a valuable tool in finding out who owns an email address.
