How to view email header on Mac OS Mail App

Mail inboxes would show who your message is from, and when it is delivered. But email headers can show you more specific information such as List-ID, or Resent-From information, which is not visible right away. Here’s how you can view email header fully when you have the Mac OS Mail app.

1. Look for the Mail app using the Spotlight search, or from your dock.

3. On the navigation bar, click on View.

5. If you would like a more comprehensive view of the header again, click on View, then Message. And select Default Headers.
