Mail Detective For Mac

Mail Detective is a handy macOS application designed to make it as easy as possible for you to trace down the IP address of the email sender and locate its location on the map.

You can use Mail Detective trace the emails in your inbox and decide which ones are valid and which ones are scam by trying to trace the geographic location of any given email.

Mail Detective enables you to perform this action, by simply dragging the mail from your inbox onto Mail Detective’s main window.

It is worth mentioning that Mail Detective is compatible with Apple’s Mail app, Airmail, Microsoft Outlook 2011, Mail Pilot and Postbox.

If your email client does not allow you to drag and drop a message, you can display the raw message source text and copy it to Mail Detective.

Thunderbird and Unibox are capable to display the raw message source from which Mail Detective can grab the IP address of the sender.
