Is it really an e-mail from Apple?

When I receive an e-mail from Apple.com, how do I know it’s authentic? (Scammers work in mysterious ways & due diligence is my middle name.)

This question isn’t specific to my phone, but for security.


For instance, I received an e-mail from apple.com and wanted to check the “real address” of the sender.


What I saw seemed a bit odd, because I was doing a password security reset.


What is the address I should have seen for this level of security?

If I see an email claiming something from Apple that sound vaguely plausible I find a way to verify what the email says by using links from Apple itself, or checking directly with the service involved. I do not use any link provided in the email.
