When I read an email, Is their any possibility to get my location or personal details by sender? - Pritam - 04-08-2014 09:35 PM
When I received an email with or without attachment on it and when I am opening it in my computer and reading it, Is their any possibility that my I.P. address can be located or my locations or personal details?
I require a serious and narrative answer to select as a Best Answer.

To be fair, You Can be Traced.
There are much more functions often Marketing Companies used to Track if you have Opened the Mail or Not !!
And a Variable and be used to Trace your Physical Location also.
Using advanced techniques, Its Possible !!

No, the Sender will not be able to know the IP address of the Receiver. (Not without the help of your ISP & other computer genius) Because most emails providers like Yahoo, Rediffmail, Gmail etc.. are browser based. They are NOT peer- to- peer type communication.
But if you are using a POPaccount type e-mail client like Outlook, Thunderbird, Lotusnotes.... to download email to ur desktop then..... it might be possible to trace you.
But the vice-versa is always possible... i.e. The Receiver can find out the IP address of the Sender, atleast that is possible in Gmail.
Why are you so scared.... have you got a mail from Al-Quida or what ??
