Is your Email private? Take these Email Leak Tests

Is your Email private? Take these Email Leak Tests

If you think that your emails from your private accounts are actually private, you are sadly mistaken. Just because the emails are not publicly displayed, we assume them to be private. Needless to say that emails are an indispensable part of the internet and are used for private interactions and important one-to-one conversations. Although emails are not displayed publicly, they pass through different servers and DNS where anyone can read them easily. The routing protocols and email headers can easily check and reveal the details about recipients and senders. Encryption may help you make your emails a bit secure, but there are still uncertainties.

Fortunately, there are some good and useful free online tools, which can help you check if your emails are really private or not. In this post, we will learn about some Email Leak Tests.

Email Leak Tests

Email IP Leak: This is a free online tool that checks if your email leaks your IP address to the recipient. It is one of the most commonly used websites. You don't need to register of sign-up to take a test. All you have to do is to go to the website and click on 'Start'.

The tool will then ask you to send an email to a given address and the tool and come back to the Email IP Leak page; the tool will let you know if your email is really private or not instantaneously. You need not worry about the subject or body of the email. The website never asks for any personal information and neither it tracks or keeps records of any user activity, the details like IP address and your test requests are collected just to test. Check it out here.

Email Trace: This tool is not really a free tool. The search, however, is free, but you need to pay to get the test reports.  This tool uses the email header to track the IP address of the sender. Using IP-address, you can use the email header to track the details of the device where that particular email is generated.

All you have to do is to enter the email header in a box given at this service website, and the tool will trace the sender for you. The email header is the part of an email that contains the details about the sender, the route of email and the end receiver. Check it out here. 

Email Privacy Tester: This is yet another online tool to check if your emails are leaked. You don't need to register or sign-up to use this tool. Just go to the website and enter your email address. The website saves your email address for a week and then delete it. 

Once you submit your email address to Email Privacy Tester, it first sends an email with a link to the service website with your test results. The tool looks for a variety of soft spots through a series of 42 different tests, and the triggered tests turn red in the results. You can click any of the triggered tests, and you can see how it is used in your emails. Check it out here.
