Some senders have two addresses: one visible, and one hidden.

If these addresses are different: check the domain name, the part after the @.

If the domain name is suspicious or different from that of your usual correspondent, remain vigilant and recover the e-mail only if you were expecting an e-mail from this sender.

The visible address can be misleading, as a hacker can easily usurp one of your contacts - the hidden address, on the other hand, is more reliable, so you should pay more attention to this address.

The visible address is often more legible and aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes a name can be associated with this address.

The visible address is called the header address, and is the most visible address in e-mail clients. It's the most eloquent, but also the most falsifiable.

The hidden address is sometimes less aesthetic and can be technical, long or difficult to read.

The hidden address is called the envelope address, and is the real address of the sender. It is less easily falsified, but sometimes less recognizable.
