How Do I Find an IP Address From Yahoo Mail?
Yahoo! Mail is a service that provides email hosting over the Internet. In Yahoo! Mail, user can create a new email address. Emails sent to that address are stored in Yahoo! servers until the user explicitly deletes them. For security purposes and to prevent abuse, Yahoo! Mail tags each outgoing email with the Internet Protocol (IP) address of its sender. The IP address (possibly with additional information from the sender's Internet Service Provider) identifies the sender. You can find the IP address from which a Yahoo! Mail email was sent.
