how to find the email id of pakistan?

How to find that a particular email.id belongs to which country ?
I don't know what you mean by "id", so let's clear something up.





There are two parts to an email address, the "user" part, and the "domain" part. They are separated by an @ sign--as in "user@domain".





(Note this is for EMAIL, not other types of DNS entries, which are very similar but slightly different sometimes, ignore that for now)





The domain bit is separated into at least 2 parts, the "domain" and the "Top Level Domain" part--sometimes abbreviated "TLD". In "yahoo.com", the "com" part is the TLD. Sometimes there can be a sub-domain, as in telegraph.co.uk, which is under the "TLD" of uk (United Kingdom) and ".co" which is the commercial "namespace" in the UK.





There are several sets of TLDs, one set is based on the ISO country codes, like US, UK, CA etc. These are supposed to be administered by their respective countries, although some countries have rented or sold their namespaces.





Another set are the more common com/net/org domains which were administered by a group set up to administer them. They have created .biz and a few others. Also there is .mil, which the US military (who basically funded the initial creation of the internet) reserved for itself.





Which is all to say that your correct question would be "How do I find the tld of a country, specifically Pakistan".





To which I would answer you use Google or your favorite search engine and enter "Top Level Domain List Pakistan"


and get something like this:


http://www.thrall.org/domains.htm





Which tells us that Pakistan has a tld of .pk.
Reply:Its Not possible.





While sitting in one country you can create an account giving particulars of another country.
Reply:You can try and look by clicking on "Show Full Header" of the email and you may be able to work it out from there sometimes.
Reply:Google it. Simple. Examples are .co.jp belongs to Japan, .co.uk belongs to UK, and .co.in belongs to India.
