When it comes to dealing with spam, malware, or phishing emails, it’s important to be able to view message headers in Outlook. This can help you determine if an email is legitimate or not, and give you the information you need to block it. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to view headers in Outlook.
First, locate the suspicious email and double-click on it so that it opens up in a separate window. Then, go to “File” and select “Properties”. This will bring up a window that shows you the internet headers, which is the information we’re looking for.
Scroll through the headers to see what servers the email came from, what IP address it came from, and where it originated. This technical information can be overwhelming, but it’s crucial in identifying the source of the email.
To copy the headers, click anywhere in the window and press “Control + A” to select all. Then, press “Control + C” to copy. You can then close the window and open up a new email.
In the new email, paste the headers using “Control + V”. You can then send the email to someone who can help you troubleshoot the problem.
By following these steps, you can view headers in Outlook and get the information you need to protect yourself from spam, malware, and phishing emails.
