Attackers try to obtain sensitive information by impersonating trusted senders. Therefore, it is crucial to know how to authenticate emails, especially in Microsoft Outlook.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do I&nbsp;verify the sender in Outlook?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check the email address<\/strong>: when you receive an email, check the sender&#8217;s&nbsp;address carefully. Fraudsters often use addresses similar to legitimate ones, with slight variations. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Message header analysis<\/strong>: The email header contains technical details about the origin of the message. In Outlook, you can use the <g id=\"gid_1\">Message Header Analyzer<\/g> add-in to help you interpret this information easily. This tool will display details such as the &#8220;From&#8221; and &#8220;Reply-To&#8221; fields, allowing you to spot inconsistencies.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication<\/strong>: these authentication protocols help to determine if the email was actually sent from the claimed domain.
