This might work. Just enter the e-mail address and you will get results (you don't need to type the name or anything). However, I think it only works if the person has listed themselves. Other than that, there's really no way to just track someone. Especially since you can check an e-mail address from any computer, anywhere.
I hope you're using this for something legal. =/

You can't do that with a website. When you receive an email from that person, view the full headers. Here is how you do that:

If your email client or program isn't covered there, try its documentation. In gmail, use the down arrow next to "reply" and select "view original".
At the top of the "raw email" is something like:
Received-by: 192.168.1.1
You want to go to the last/bottom Received-by in the entire message, and copy down the numbers. That is the person's IP address. You can then narrow it down to their city with something like this:

This is accurate about 65% of the time. There's no way to be more accurate without actually asking the person.
Note that if you have something like this in the raw email:
Received: from pouchier.com (hf134-n213.cablenetzone.com [212.87.213.134])
by mx.google.com with ESMTP id e76si20715hse.2007.11.07.17.43.43;
Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:43:46 -0800 (PST)
Use that instead of the last received-by. The first set of numbers(212.87.213.134 in this case) is their IP address.
