show full email address in mail on mac

I was just scammed by someone impersonating Apple. When I looked at the true/full email address, it was obviously not from Apple. Can I display the actual address instead of the “name” to avoid this. I know I can click the little down arrow to see it, and I do that when I have any suspicion of the email, but this one was good and I fell for it.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Here you go:

Mail > Settings > Viewing > Use Smart Addresses


With this setting off you will see the name and email address next to it.
