wasn't SURE where to post this.

I recieved a threatening email through gmail from another gmail account. Is there any way to realistically find out who sent it? Could/would the police bother investigating this?This will get you started.

As far as I know, that doesn't work on Google servers. In that case contact Google Security and follow their direction,
