Step 2
The filter dialog box, as shown below, is split into three sections, each of which is explained below the image.
The image above has been split into three sections for your understanding.
1) To trace a header you have to first select the first option, as shown by
the number one in the image above.
2) The text box shown by the number 2 is where you have to paste the email
header you want to trace (click here for a list of tutorials that help you extract
the email header)
3) Once the header has been pasted into the Email headers: section
then click the trace button, as shown by the number 3 in the image above.
Step 3
When the trace has finished it will look similar to the image above. The email trace table shows you each hop between yourself and the email origin, giving you IP addresses, node names and locations. The trace route is also shown on the map with the final location pin pointed. To the right hand side you have the email summary, whois information and email header. Simply click the heading to view each one separately.
