Yes but it takes extreme hacker know how, or Yahoo could give it to police in a criminal investigation besides who uses thier real name? For security I don't

No i don't believe you can. If it's over fraud or something illegal or a crime they committed against you can try emailing the email provider to see if they will send you their information. Or go to the police station to get them to e-mail them. Other then that i'd think you'd at least their IP address in order to get any information about the person that you are interested in. Hope that helps.

Probably not. Many people do not use their real name when they sign up.

That depends on how they have their privacy settings and whether they allow others to find that information out on Y! Directory or something.

How do I find out who sent the email? Federal law strictly limits the information that online service providers like Yahoo! may disclose about their users. However, the email message itself contains some information relating to the sender's identity. In the headers of email messages sent via Yahoo! Mail, an Internet Protocol (IP) address that corresponds to the sender's Internet service provider (ISP) is included. At the top of a message (above the date) is a line reading either "Standard Header" or "Compact Header." Click on this link, and a menu will drop down with an option for "Full Header." If you select "Full Header," a new window pops up containing the full header of the message. See it? It's got tons of computer gobbledygook, but it also has some information you can use. You should be able to find a line that contains an 8 to 12 digit number, separated by periods. It might look something like this: Received: from [123.456.78.91] by . . . The "123.456.78.91" represents the unique IP address of the sender's ISP. Once you identify the IP address, you can run a "whois" search to determine which ISP provides this person with Internet access. If there's more than one Received: line, read them from top to bottom (the topmost is the most recent.) There are several utilities available on the web to run a whois search. Here's one web site that can help you to determine which service provider is responsible for the IP address: · http://www.geektools.com/whois.php If the spam or abusive email is being sent from a Yahoo! Mail account and you are not using Yahoo! Mail, please forward an unedited copy of the message with full headers to [email protected]. Yahoo will evaluate the situation and take action per our Terms of Service. Spamming from a Yahoo! Mail account is not acceptable.
