How to find the Email Header / EML in Outlook 2016 / 2013 / 2010 / 2007

Ever email that's sent has 2 parts, the body (what you see when you read the message), and the header. The header has information like the server the email came from, who sent it, what time it was sent, who the email was intended for. This information is important when you get a suspicious email or spam email that slips through the SPAM filter, as it can help find where exactly the email originated from.

 

Step 1 - (1) Double Click on the email you want to get the EML for then (2) click on Messages
