It contains a lot of technical information about the message, useful i.e. to understand:

  • why a message is marked as spam
  • why a spam message is not marked as spam by the system
  • why a message has not been delivered, as should happen, in a short time, but required hours or days to be delivered

... and many other kinds of possible technical issues.

Every time you require support for a received message, specify the header of the message too in plain text format (just copy / paste it), and not as a screenshot!

 

NOTE:

  • email headers may be recovered also by any email client: Thunderbird, Outlook, Microsoft Mail... to recover the email header using your email client, please refer to the documentation of the email client you're using.

  • this guide is valid not only for StarterMail service, but for any email service using RoundCube webmail
