Q: Why would i need MailSpy?
A:
You need MailSpy if you are interested from where an email you've received has been sent or what mail client has been used. If you are technically inclined you can find out these information manually, but geolocating up the IP-addresses the email has been through manually is a lot of work.
Q: Does MailSpy only work with Apple's Mail or can I analyze emails received with other clients?
A:
MailSpy is designed to work with Apple's Mail and can analyze emails that you drop right from Apple's Mail onto MailSpy. However, MailSpy can also analyze plain .eml files so it can work in conjunction with any mail client that can export received emails as .eml.
Q: Can I show the geographic origin of EVERY email?
A:
No, as explained in the description, most emails sent from 'webmail' services can not be analyzed. You can analyze emails sent from native clients on mobile phones or computers. You'll get an error or warning message when trying to analyze an email that does not contain proper locations.
Q: How accurate is MailSpy?
A:
MailSpy should show the correct city from which the email has been sent. The location within the city is not shown (correctly).
Q: Why can I drag only a single email onto MailSpy at once?
A:
Because of limitations in Apple's Mail and their Drag&Drop implementation. Complain to Apple.
Q: How can I analyze multiple emails at once?
A:
You can analyze multiple emails at once by exporting them to .eml files and analyzing the .eml files with MailSpy. Just drag multiple mails from within Mail to a temporary location and then drop them onto the designated area within MailSpy.
