   The short answer is yes.   
      
   The real answer is: it depends. It depends on _where_ you registered, it   
   depends on _who_ is trying to trace it (and probably more importantly,   
   _why_ they're trying).   
      
   Who's to say that the majority of free email services don't log the IP   
   used to register the acccount to the database? In fact, we know providers   
   like Google do because it uses the client IP to restrict how many   
   accounts they can register per 24 hours.
