Is there any way to find out who sent an email from an anonymous yahoo acct.?

file a lawsuit in which you request their ID; expensive, and did they actually do something illegal?

or hack into their yahoo account
(not legal or ethical, not 100% sure to do and may not tell you who it is anyway with their saved mail, tho you might get the address they signed up with for yahoo)

Thanks for your response. Not sure what is illegal for emails- basically forwarding serious person info./rumors, untrue accounts. Probably not worth going after legally.

I have been asked about a case where one person denies sending an email from thier account, claiming that the opposing party hacked the account.

Fortunately, they live in two different states so if it can be determined what state the account was accessed from it would resolve the dispute.

It would be useful to know the terminology in order to write an effective subpoena.
