When someone sends you an email message, the IP address of the sender is most likely to be available in the header of the received Email.

This means that you should be able to get the IP Address of the sender from header info and use any popular IP Finder tool to trace the Country, City, and the ISP of the sender.

Popular Email clients like Outlook and Yahoo include IP addresses in outgoing message headers. Emails sent using Gmail or Gmail App may or may not include IP address in header info.

In such a case you can click on the down arrow below the senders name and see if you can get the Time Zone of the sender. In case Time Zone is available, you can get approximate location of the sender by going to timezone map.
