    Whatever mail server you are using, there should be a drop down option next to the reply button. In that drop down there should be an option to "view header" of the email. In this header it will show the IP address of the sender in an area that says something like (received from:).

    The location that I get from the IP address found in email headers is of the server that the sender has used to send the mail. How can I find the sender's real location?

    Actually these IP Lookup providers like this one also iplocation.io, they are using the geolocation databases. To get the location of the IP. But their accuracy is in countries outside the US and Europe the accuracy for the city level 25mile/40km radius is around 55%. So they only provide you an estimated location. The ISP has the exact location of the users. But due to privacy, they will not give it to you, with the help of police of if the court allows you, then the ISP can provide you the location of IP.
