Mail check

Is the sender genuine?

The displayed name of an e-mail can be faked at will. The headers reveal who really sent it. Paste them here – the check runs only in your browser, nothing is sent to us.

How to find the headers

Gmail: Open the mail → three-dot menu → “Show original” → “Copy to clipboard”.

Outlook: Open the mail → three-dot menu → “View” → “View message details”.

Apple Mail: Select the mail → menu “View” → “Message” → “All Headers”.

GMX / WEB.DE: Open the mail → three-dot menu → “Show source”.

On a phone this usually does not work – open the mail in a browser on a computer instead.
