Webmail, also known as web-based email, can be traced. But there are limitations to how far the average person (outside of law enforcement) can trace this type of email–especially if the webmail originates from one of the more popular and free Internet service providers (ISP). While you may be able to pin down the general geographical location the webmail originated from, you likely won’t be able to trace webmail sent from a free ISP back to a specific computer or user.
