That's not strictly true.

Under various circumstances, when using webmail, google will add an
additional header - X-Originating-IP - which contains the IP of the client
(i.e. your browser) connected to the webmail interface.

Once upon a time, Hotmail used to do it to, though they moved to using a
hashed version (and X-EIP as the header IIRC).

You won't see the webmail client in "received from" headers though.
