Hotmail/MSN

First of all you have to set your hotmail into Full mode, if it is not already in full mode. To do this there should be a link on the main hotmail page as shown below in fig 1:

Once hotmail has switched into full mode right click on the email you want to trace and choose the View Source option as shown below in fig 2:

A new window/tab will pop up with the header for that email. As shown below in fig 3:

  • Highlight the headers by clicking and dragging your cursor over the header text, or clicking in the window tab and pressing 'Ctrl-A' to select all.
  • Hold down the 'Ctrl' button on your keyboard and the press the 'C' key once, this has copied the highlighted headers.
  • Open eMailTrackerPro if it is not already open and click inside the dialog box where the headers are to be pasted. The headers should be automatically pasted into the dialog box, if this is not the case then hold down the 'Ctrl' key again and press the 'V' key to paste the headers into eMailTrackerPro.
  • Once the headers have been pasted click the 'Trace' button to initiate the trace.
