On a related note, the time zone of your outgoing Gmail messages is determined from your computer’s time zone. Obviously this not the most foolproof method as two different countries can be in the same time zone but when the IP address is not available in Gmail, this is the closest you can get. Next you can use this timezone map to determine countries where the current time is the same as the time displayed in the Gmail message. The message will display the the current time in the sender’s time zone as shown in the following screenshot. Now open any message in Gmail and click on the down arrow that says “Show details”. Go your Gmail Labs page and enable the “Sender Time Zone” feature. When the IP address is not available, you can determine the sender’s very-approximate location from the time-zone of the originating computer. Open the message in Gmail, click on More – > Show Original and search for the line “Received: from “ – it may have the IP address of the sender that you can map to a physical location with the help of Wolfram Alpha. However if he or she is using a desktop client (like Microsoft Outlook) or a mobile device to send that email, the IP address is often included in the outgoing message. Gmail doesn’t include the IP address of the sender when the sender is using Gmail’s web interface to send email. Option A: Gmail may include the IP Address If the IP address of John is not available, because he is sending email using Gmail, how can Elizabeth determine John’s geographic location? There two options: As such, Gmail may hide sender IP address information from outgoing mail headers in some circumstances. IP addresses can be considered sensitive information. The receiver (Elizabeth) can then perform a simple geo-lookup against that IP address to find the approximate geographic location of the message sender.īoth Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail include IP addresses in outgoing message headers but if John is sending an email address using Gmail, or Gmail for Google Apps, his IP address won’t be included in the message. When John sends an email message to Elizabeth, the IP address of the sender (John’s computer) is included in the header of the outgoing email message. Follow the actions below to determine whether your inability to send emails to Gmail users is due to Gmail blocking: Check.
