To trace the sender of an email from Gmail, you can follow these steps to view the email header:

  1. Open the email you want to trace in Gmail.
  2. Click on the three vertical dots on the top right corner of the email.
  3. Select "Show original" from the drop-down menu. This will open a new window with the full email header.
  4. Look for the "Received:" headers in the email header. These headers show the path the email took from the sender's email server to your inbox.
  5. The first "Received:" header is usually the one closest to the sender's email server. Look for the IP address or domain name in this header to trace the sender.
  6. You can use online tools or services like MX Toolbox or WhatIsMyIP.com to trace the IP address or domain name back to the sender.


Please note that tracing the sender of an email might not always be accurate as senders can fake their email headers. It is always best to verify the authenticity of the email sender before taking any action.
