How to Find IP ADDRESS with Yahoo Mail

That just gets The IP Address of the mail server.
Not the private IP Address of the sender.
Probably The easiest way is sending a FILE Through yahoo IM or any other IM client... with the kb of atleast 500 in file size, and during file transfter, direct connection Run Netstat And hit enter.... The other persons IP Should be displayed in this format... e.g. 255-255-255-255 With the hostname.

Other ways is using a Packet sniffer.... as for EMAIL it's possible using a special PHP script or JS to log ones IP Address.

That header trick on yahoo does work handy... but not by Getting the ip, but by seeing who the email has came from. Like if someone Spoofed an Email, or if it's a phisher, or scam. It's always good to check the header of all emails, to find out the source..
