Not possible because both are webmail and there is no way of using a sniffer on them. To bad though good thought.

Yep. When you enter into your Hotmail account, select "Options" on the far right side. From there, make sure you're in the "Mail" group. If not, select "Mail" from the left side. Then select "Mail Display Settings". Once you've done this, the third heading is the "Message Headers" section. Choose the "Advanced" radio button. Once you've done this, you'll be able to see the IP from which it was sent. Now remember this, the IP that you'll be looking at is the mail server that which the email originated, not the client.

It worked and I was able to find out the person IP address of where the email was created.
