I tend to think that its not impossible to find someone's IP through his/her email address. Attention! I am not saying that I received an email message from that person. I am saying that ALL that I have is the email address. I explain: Let's say that I gave you the following address: 'nickname@domain.com', would you be able, via some website, or a code, or a script, or an application, to tell the IP address of the person who holds this email address?

No, you can't discover a person's IP solely from their email address because reverse looking up the domain name of the email address will only show you the IP of the server hosting that domain which is different from the IP of the user sending and receiving email with the email address.
If however, you have a message from the person (which you say you do not) there is a chance you can determine their IP from the headers in the message. Some web based email records the sender's IP in the email headers. For instance Hotmail includes an extra header called "X-Originating-IP:" which shows the ip address of the sender.

not from an email, emails can bring you back to company they may work for but rarely have their names. so no is the answer
