Does Your Emails Give Out your Location And I.P. Address !!

Does Your Emails Give Out your Location And I.P. Address !!A few days ago I was asked by someone to find out someones location by just using a email sent by the " victim " I know it is not good to track someone but that person had his reasons to do so.
Someone can track your location by just using your I.P. address which is sometimes given out by some email service providers in the header of the message. But guy's today I am going to tell you how you can save yourself from this kind of things.

First of all I will like to tell you the email service providers that release your I.P. address (which is usually used to track people).  Some of the main email providers who do give out your I.P. Address are the third party programs like Microsoft Outlook ( Not Outlook.com ) or the Mail App in your iPhone which uses your Gmail account to send emails but the emails sent through Gmail's official website or through the Gmail's mobile app do not include your I.P. Address in the header of the email. Yahoo Mail also includes the users I.P. address.
But if you ask me which email service provider you should use I will surely advise you Gmail as it has some good security features and is not easy enough to crack through.
Even If you are using some other email service provider then you can use Emailipleak.com or can just send an email to yourself and see whether your I.P. address is included in the message header or not.

You can use Emailipleak.com to easily know whether your email leaks your I.P. or not. When you first enter the site it detects your I.P. address, then you have to click on The Start Button on that page to continue to the next step. In the next step you will be given an email address to which you will have to send an blank email from your email service provider. Just after you send the email in the Emailipleak.com webpage you will be shown a message either telling that your email is leaking your I.P. address or saying that your email is not leaking your I.P. address.

Example-

And if you see that your I.P. is not leaked then you can be calm as you will be safe from being tracked down.

Point To be Noted :
The Site Emailipleak.com says that it does not collect any user information and the least information collected is deleted as soon as the result page is loaded.
