Very often it is necessary to find out the IP address of an E-mail Sender. This post deals with how to find out the IP address of a specific email sender, by using the Email client "Thunderbird".
It is very easy to find out it by using Thunderbird. Just follow the following steps.
1. Just select the email (of which you want to know the IP address of the sender)
2. Now on your key board, press "Ctrl+u" keys.
3. Now you will get a new window stating the details of that particular message, more or less like this. Identity the IP address and use some websites which helps to geographically locate the IP address.
