how to trace gmail sender from header? - email

Question

Everyone knows changing mail address in address bar and pretending to send mail from someone else's accout is easy..
so i looked up on google "find out where email came from"
some of the links suggest-- 1. Log into your account and open the email in question.
Click on the down arrow that’s to the right of the Reply link. Choose Show Original from the list.
Now here’s the technical part that I was telling you about earlier! You need to look for the lines of text that start with “Received: from“.
I did all above steps but found out that gmail uses mail client ip as sender ip and not the ip of that particular PC(For security purpose they say...) It has sender's IP as mr. google.com and some private netwk IP(10.43.103.195)
so now my problem is -- is there any damn way in the world to trace where the hell did this mail come from??!!(at least IP of sender)?
This is the header i got when i followed above 3 steps which is of no use...--

Answer 1

If the sender uses gmail/yahoo/hotmail etc. to send an email (ie. if they don't use a third-party software like Outlook or Thunderbird), there is no way to find out the "PC IP address" because it's hidden for 'privacy reasons.' Probably the only legitimate way (other than through legal means) is to ask the sender to reveal their IP address (using such tools like https://verifyyourip.com).
