Answer:
A lot of the answer to this will depend upon how much information you, yourself, have provided to the email provider. For example, when you sign up for free email programs they often ask for an address to put into your profile. If you include your address, then yes, others can see your profile and will then know your address. The best solution is to not give anyone any information that they do not absolutely, positively need. Good luck.

Yes. There's a few websites that can do that. But one is a free site that I know of.
E-mails do have an IP (Internet Protocol) address attached to them. Some are just general to your internet service provider, but sometimes they can be traced back to a user. You have to know what you're doing though. it's not like clicking a button and there you are.

depends... an email header included your IP address.. which won't give them a lot.. as long as your running a decent firewall + anti virus you should be fine.

They can get a balpark location if they view the complete header from your email.

yeah, they can. especially with their technology they use. anyone could, and i suggust you spam those people. you can also report them too to the government, but you know that THAT won't do much considering the country they're in, but they'll do something.

All they have to do it get your IP address from your email header, that will tell them your general location.

They see what country you live in because the last two charaters of your rmail address state your country e.g. .uk or .ru etc.

I know they can trace it from your IP address, but not from your e-mail address alone. You could be using your e-mail from any computer in the world. But a single computer's IP address can be traced to country, state, i think even city, but I don't know about exact address. Just be careful who you share your info with online!
