#3 | | Accounts or messages? Is this related to your other thread? Google would be able to trace both, I imagine, but recipients of email sent through gmails web interface wouldn't. |

#4 | | If that were true, you wouldn't have people trying to find other ways to transfer illegal materials. |

#9 | | Gmail hides it, not sure about hotmail Yes they can be traced by law enforcement, with international co-operation and the appropriate warrants. They cannot be traced by YOU unless you can trick the account holder into viewing a remote image or following a link that gives away their IP address. |
