Every person who has e-mail tries to maintain the confidentiality of their correspondence. But there are times when you are not completely sure that only you are reading your letters. Fortunately, all popular sites where you can create email provide the ability to control each entry into the mailbox, registering the visitor's IP, which, as a rule, is individual for each computer. Therefore, you can be sure that you will always know whether someone else entered your mail or not.
Necessary
- - own email
- - Internet connection
Instructions
Step 1
First, find out in your email settings where the ip-addresses from which you logged into your mailbox are recorded. Some sites that provide e-mail require activating a special security mode, which will record information about visits to the mailbox by date, time and IP address.
Step 2
Review the information about the last logins to the mail and analyze which of the visits do not coincide with the time frame when you personally checked your inbox. Copy the IP address given in those visits and save it in a text file or write it down somewhere.
Step 3
Go to the service for determining information by IP (it can be found on the Internet at the request "find information by ip"). Enter the IP address you are interested in in the field and click the "Get IP Information" button. This service will allow you to find out information about the country, region, city, browser, operating system and even the network provider of the place from where you entered your mailbox.
Step 4
You can also compare the IP addresses of those who have ever emailed you with the IP address of an unknown person who entered your mail. To do this, determine the place in the letter code where the sender's IP is recorded. Determine your IP using the service to determine it. Write any letter from your mailbox to the same mailbox, i.e. write to yourself.
Step 5
Open the email you received. Now look at the HTML code of the email. In Yandex mail, for example, you can do this as follows: click on the word "Advanced" and select "Mail properties". Find your IP in the code and remember where this entry is located.
Step 6
In the same way, open the HTML code of letters sent to you by other people. Find their IP addresses and compare them with the IP address of an unknown visitor to your mail.
