Want to know what exactly is happening behind the scenes when you send/receive an email? Let's see how can you do that!
You can achieve this by looking at the email headers. The email header is a code snippet in an HTML email, that contains information about the sender, recipient, email’s route to get to the inbox, and various authentication details.
Sometimes we ask you to send us the email headers, you can do that by following the steps mentioned below.
