Looking Up E-mail Headers in Outlook 2010 or 2013

Here’s a quick tip for Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 users out there.

Love it or hate it, the Office ribbon was a big change from the traditional menus of old which made accessing some functions easier whilst others just seemed to disappear altogether. One such function that seemed to disappear was the ability to view the e-mail headers of a given message.

Thankfully, it is easy enough to do once you know how:

  1. Double click the e-mail in Outlook to open it in its own window,
  2. Click the File tab at the top left of the window,
  3. Click on Properties at the bottom of the list,
  4. Review the Internet headers section at the bottom.

Tada 🙂
