But, be aware that this will only tell you the location of the mail server,
not the location of the original sender. For example, I'm in the UK but my
personal email is relayed through US servers.

I don't think you'll get much more precise information than the country,
either. For example, I'm in Sussex, but my home ISP is in Yorkshire, so
(even if I used their email service), you'd not know much about my location.
