An IP address will only lead you back to the company that provides their internet.
If it is a big company the address might not even be in the same state/province as the actual person.
To find out a persons address you have to get it from their internet provider and they wont give it out without a court order.
If you have a problem with threatening mail you should hand it over to the police.

Yes it is very possible.. You can either search the IP address and you will know which country it is from. Or you can download some programs like whereisit that could get information on IP Address, Email or ICQ..

That IP tracer was quite off. I would look into some software if its super important. Secondly, asia has the worst network ever, so good luck.

To get the exact location, you would have to deal with the local police.They would then work with the internet providers to trace the location.
