How to Find Forwarded Email

Email is sent across the Internet.

Email is a service made available by Internet providers and search engines. An email is composed by typing a letter into a specific box and then typing out the address of the receiving email holder in the "To" box. A message that is sent to you may be sent to another person by forwarding. When forwarding an email, click "Forward" at the top of the letter page and send the message you received to a different person.

Instructions

1. Open the Internet browser on your laptop or desktop computer. Type in the address of your email host, such as Google or Yahoo. On the main page there will be a "Log on" button, click there. In the user name box, type your user name, repeat for the password.

2. Click on the "Check email" button or mail icon now showing at the top of the page. This will take you to the inside of your email box, otherwise known as the "inbox."

3. Click on an email inside your inbox. At the top of the letter you will notice the sender email, as well as other email addresses to which the sender sent the email. In the body of the email, you might see the words, "Original sender" or "Original message." If so, the email you received was a forwarded email from another account.

4. Click the folders tab, sometimes located to the left or right side of the main email inbox page. Locate the "Forwarded" tab on the folders page. You might also find this at the top of your main page depending upon which provider you use.

5. Click on the "Forwarded" tab and allow the page to load. You will find all the forwarded emails you have made during the time you have held the email account.
