Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2024-07-24

In Outlook, viewing the basic information in an email header—such as from, to, cc, and subject—is straightforward when previewing or opening a message. However, this common header information often isn't enough, especially when more detailed data is needed for tasks like troubleshooting or verifying the email's origin. This guide will show you how to access and view the full internet headers of an email in Microsoft Outlook, providing you with comprehensive details about the message's journey and background.
