-- Posted by Wolferz at 9:24 pm on July 22, 2008 I'm wondering...if someone receives an email from an email account, can you find the IP address on it AFTER the email account has been deleted? Lets say its like Yahoo or Hotmail...Can you do aynthing once the whole thing was deleted? -- Posted by ReelStreetlights at 9:24 pm on July 22, 2008 Through the provider. -- Posted by hateitandloveit at 9:25 pm on July 22, 2008 Check the headers -- Posted by Jamslam67 at 9:27 pm on July 22, 2008 by hax yes. -- Posted by Permious at 9:28 pm on July 22, 2008 Did you send child porn or something?   -- Posted by woodbridgeguy1 at 9:29 pm on July 22, 2008 Yes I believe its possible, everything you do on the Internet is tracked and stored. -- Posted by Wolferz at 10:00 pm on July 22, 2008 But my question is more so...can the AVERAGE person do this? Or do you have to already have trackers or software? Or get like police involvement? No, not porn...I was wanting to send an email pretending to be someone to a friend.  But then delete the account IN CASE they find out in a month or so. (I only wanted to send like 2 emails)
