Title: Puter geeks, please help!!!
Post by K-9 on Mar 8^th, 2005, 1:34am

This is a long shot, but I was wondering, if an e-mail account is set up, then deleted, can a geographical location still be determined on it? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys!!

Chuck

I don't know for sure... but if you had an email from it, it would have the ip address or path listed and you could trace the location from that.
I hope that helps

I doubt it, unless you were the administrator of the server the account was on.....not an easy task.

Like she said. You can get the IP address and routing info from the header, assuming the IP address wasn't spoofed.
