If I sign onto my email from different locations, can the email provider(eg. AOL or YAHOO) know where I am?

I travel and use my email from different locations, such as from a hotel, or public library in a different state or country. Would the email providers, such as AOL or Yahoo or hotmail keep track from which location I have accessed my email? Do they remember that kind of information (sign on info)?

Yes, they log the IP address you are connecting from and it goes into thier database.
Reply:well you could be located from where the location in general, that you sent an email, thru email tracking. It was on Amerca's Most Wanted, that they got the emails and address of one killer. Seems that the site plentyoffish.com keeps all emails for 90 days, I think.





But I do not know the capabilities of the ISPs though. But to send an email, you are tagged anyway.
Reply:They may be able to read the isp where you are, but, they do not keep track of it.. Big Brother ain't working for aol or yahoo..
Reply:Haha, they always know where you are. As far as I know, I dont think so. Try to erase your tracks once and awhile





if you do clean stuff on the internet, Go into your internet options and delete all saved files





Good luck
