How to find the Email Header / EML in Outlook For Mac

What is an Email Header / EML file?

Every 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 - Open the email you want the EML for, so it's open in its own window

Step 2 - Click View > Internet Headers

Step 3 - Click inside the box with the header info then click Edit > Select All. Then click inside the box again and click Edit > Copy. Now you can close this window and paste the header into a text document or email to send to us to investigate for you.
