I believe most webmail clients prevent auto-loading of remote resources. This would require recipient approval.

Gmail is not passing actual IP address of the sender, hence it is not
possible to track google user, unless u write to google for such
details on abusive or harrasment or threat email

I had presented on tracking emails long time ago. The ppt  mostly contains how different email providers reacted to readnotify ... other services links also provided.

Might be helpful for you.

Cheers,

or

Reply the user with spypig read receipt trick.Whenever he opens the mail,You will get the notification details with origin.

It is possible to check the IP address of the sender if that is what is you are looking for. By clicking on More > Show Original. It has many IP Address but one of them a bit below has the IP address. I just checked it on one the senders address and it showed me the correct IP Address.

Hi,

A good practice, if you can pinpoint the IP Address, Domain Name and Time from the message header.

After pinpointing the addresses, It will easier to track out the location of the sender IP address either by communicating Google or ISP.

Dear Mayank

If you see originating IP address of the email that you sent using gmail, thn you must be using outlook or other email client. .
