Showing Email Headers in Webmail

What is an Email Header?

The email header is an essential section of your email that contains information such as the sender's and recipient's details, the subject, and the timestamp of when the email was dispatched. This section includes elements such as the Reply-To Field, the email client used, the sender's IP address, and the Message ID. It also plays a crucial role in tracing an email's course, as each email possesses a unique header that records its path.
