Remote desktop protocol

Computer A = the real hardware computer machine connected to the internet provided by the local internet service piovider (ISP)

Computer B = the virtual computer i.e the remote desktop protocol (RDP)

My Question > If the email is sent using RDP, then how likely is it possible to trace the ip address of the isp used in computer A

First please tell us how you would do it if you sent it directly from computer A, not via RDP.
And can you explain “virtual” for computer B?

No.

I decline to detail why the trace is a bust because it’s been asked and answered 1000’s of times on Reddit and elsewhere. The answer is still no.

If you send an email using RDP, the email will show the IP address of the virtual machine (Computer B) or its host, not the ISP of your actual computer (Computer A).
