Emails from Durova, I have a theory that I would like to test... Options

Following Moulton's comment that he was in contact with Durova by email - that suddenly came to an abrupt halt - I want to test a little theory that I have had in the back of my mind for a little while; how many Wikipedians that read/use this board have received an email from Durova (or any of the Cabal) just the once (or a very few times) - especially if it commented on a situation or asked a question that could easily have been done on a talkpage? I have received such an email...

I am no internet/computer expert - but my brother is. I have been told that there is software available that can obtain the underlying ip from emails. An alternative to Checkuser, as long as you can get an email...?

I've been contacted once or twice by JzG on an account of mine about fairly trivial things that could have been asked on a talk page. I found it quite odd that he preferred email when there was no obvious reason to use it.

If he was using it to get my IP he was disappointed; I use Gmail.
