How To Show Full E-mail Headers
Often, to determine the original source of a message, or to troubleshoot the reasons behind an error or bounce of some kind, it is necessary for service desk staff to review the full Internet e-mail headers of a message.
The full Internet headers of a message aren't automatically displayed in most e-mail programs. Below are links to instructions for viewing the full headers in several common e-mail programs:
- OSU Webmail
- Apple Mail (mail.app, Mac OS X)
- Eudora
- Gmail
- Hotmail (Windows Live Hotmail)
- Netscape Mail
- Outlook 97
- Outlook 2000/2002
- Outlook 2003
- Outlook Express
- Yahoo Mail
If your e-mail program is not listed, more instructions for showing full headers can be found at spamcop.net.
