I have a gmail account where I receive personal messages both domestically and from several foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Germany. When I use tracer software to detect the geographic origin of each message, it ALWAYS shows Redmond, Washington, as the source!! This happens for EVERY gmail message I have received. I have done this trace using two different software programs, and the result is always Redmond, Washington. When I use the same software to trace the origin of messages on my Hotmail account, it displays the correct location. What is wrong with my gmail account? Why can't I get an accurate trace? Is someone in Redmond intercepting all my gmail? What should I do?
