does anyone know if it is possible to trace where an email originated - it's a @live.co.uk (hotmail) account

Cheers

would it not have an IP address linked to it, these are unique addresses

google has it

mmmm all the tools including this one / all say that the email originated in Microsofts server in USA whereas I know this particular one came from over here.

So it would appear that live.co.uk addresses can't be traced?
