When you receive an email from an unknown or almost unknown sender, you can know who the person sent it and find their name and surname and, perhaps, even where they write from "> know where an email is sent from, we have already written a guide in the past explaining how to study the email header, identify the sender's IP and, finally, try to trace it through some automatic tools. This method, however, besides not being simple, is rather easy to fail because not all emails report the real IP of the person sending it in the header.
If you want to know everything about the person who sends an email and if, as mentioned above, it is a real address, i.e. actually used by this person for his online activities, then the best site to turn to for a search is Pipl, that I mentioned in the past in the article on how to find people by name or photo.
This site has improved a lot compared to the past and in the search for email addresses it works like a large telephone directory that keeps in memory all the email addresses that have been published, somehow, on the internet. Compared to a simple Google search, Pipl aggregates the various results in order to associate them all to the same person. For example, looking for my Email, which is clearly public for obvious reasons, all the social profiles that belong to me and on which I registered with that address, including Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, are obtained as results. Furthermore Pipl creates a personal file by extracting the biography, the place where I live, the nickname and any other information that is publicly visible (for my choice of course) from the social profiles.
Another perhaps even more effective method of knowing everything possible about an email address is to use Gmail, plus a couple of applications that can be installed via Chrome or Firefox. So if we use Gmail, we open Google Chrome or Firefox and install the LinkedIn Linkedin extension. After installing it and after logging in to the application by giving the relevant permissions, open a message, click on the address of the person who sent it and note that on the right the sidebar opens a tab with all the information relating to that contact, which correspond to your Linkedin profile, if it exists.
A similar, more complete and free app is Discoverly for Gmail, another Chrome extension to see the social profiles of contacts in Gmail. This also adds a sidebar in Gmail to view all the information about the email addresses clicked by messages received or sent. The sidebar is made up of 3 tabs, one with the social contact card, one with the activities on Twitter (if there are any) and one with information on the company to which that email address belongs.
A trick to know who an email address belongs to is also to search for it directly on Facebook.
As already seen in the article on how to find who owns a mobile phone number, you can use the Facebook search box and search for the email address directly.
Since Facebook is used by everyone and since, usually, you sign up with the main email used by people (because otherwise you would not receive notifications), most likely you will find the real person to whom it belongs and you will immediately find out who it belongs to. Email address without too many tricks and strategies.
