Title: Can E-mail Header Show Which Device Sent E-mail?
Post by: neo1234 on June 16, 2014, 05:04:26 PM
Is it possible to determine which device sent me an e-mail if the sender of the e-mail uses several devices on a Microsoft Exchange account? Is there something in an e-mail header that would indicate each different device?
 If you don't know the answer to my question is there a website that you would recommend where I can get an answer?

It all comes down to what information the mail client puts in the header.  You can usually see what client sent the email so, for example if you are trying to determine between a PC running Microsoft Outlook or a smartphone running its own mail client, you can usually find these clients in the headers to tell them apart.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. Where in the header would I find this information? I have tried comparing the headers but I can't seem to find anything that indicates one email is from a smartphone, one is from a work pc and one is from a home pc. They are all sending email from Outlook through a work related Microsoft Exchange account.
