Pinpointing the ip to close location is very hard (but I'm not a fully enroled geek yet), unless you have an email from the person on their normal account to compare it too I'm not sure how far you could get. And that said I'm not 100% if the ip addresses emails carry are from the originating mail server or the personal computer they were using. Anyhoo probably not going to be the route to go down.

+1. So I won't bother doing the geeky thing & explaining all the technical working behind the thinking in this thread.

Now, a conversation via mail, especially webmail could be fun. But again, not a great route to go down. Much better to get the situation dealt with & get on with your life.

Although, if things like this keep happening, you know how to contant me Kev.

Things aren't much better then?
Would confronting the **** in question do any good?

Well it was a bit of a strange atmosphere, fortunately deep down my wife knows I wouldn't do it but faced with the e-mail in question, which showed a level of knowledge, she would obviously doubt.

I did a search for a particular person and low and behold my sister has recently become a friend on facebook, the link from my sister to my wife (who is listed as a friend of my sister) is a simple one.

Confrontation, not sure it would help or that my temper would hold.

just don't bring any sharp objects..

Any way I hope things with you and your wife gets better. atleast she knows deep down and ou're being reasonable about it which helps.

I have asked her to report the message and block the sender, but I think she sees this as me just having something to hide, I don't, but I just don't want another day like yesterday where I feel I have to explain myself.

she might be suspicious for a while now, tis an awful situation to be in, particularly as you're mnot guillty but how the heck do you go about proving yourself? I really hope this all clears up soon.
