IP Address / email address?
Is it possible to find out in what County a person lives from their Email address. I was thinking they could find the IP of this person and therefore know they are from a certain County. Is this possible or not?
That's really strange because she knew I am from the South East. But how

If you have received email from someone then you can always trace email sender back by using free email tracking tools below:
http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/email-tracking/em...
http://www.find-ip-address.org/email-search/find-e...
Only what you need to do is open email and copy/paste email header into email tracing tools above and you will get interesting information's about email sender like country, city, organization, ISP etc...
Hope this help!

No, not from the email address alone. Now if you have recieved an email from them that's a different matter. Check the header and it will contain the senders IP.
It's easy then to narrow downb where the IP address originated from but it's not very accurate, only giving a general geographical location.

Yes, you can. However you have to be good with computers. You must hack-in to the e-mail server first then sneak into the database. You'll find everything you need there. There are programs now used to hide IP's or display a bogie IP to protect the user. Do it at your own risk. They can file a lawsuit against you for that.

You can open the full header option and it will give details on the senders ip but the accuracy is very unreliable.
At this current time according to my ip look up i am in Leeds. However i am over 200 miles away from there at this moment in time.

No only if they used their county in the email address, which is extremely unlikely.
