How to view email headers in Outlook.com

Sometimes when you are experiencing an issue with email, accessing the email headers will provide some helpful information to find the root cause of the issue. If you have a ticket open with the Support Dept. on the email, you might be asked to provide email headers.

Depending on how you normally access your emails, steps to view the email headers will be different for each email client/interface. For information on understanding the contents of email headers, please visit this link.

To view your email headers in Outlook, please see the following steps:

 

  1. Log in to Outlook
  2. Open the message for which you wish to view the headers
  3. When the email opens there will be a ‘… more actions’ menu icon in the top right hand corner of the email – click this
  4. Click ‘View message source’
  5. Here you can view the email headers. You can copy/paste this information into the Support ticket you have open

 

If you have any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to 'Open a Ticket' and we will be happy to advise further.
