Question about spoofed threatening spam email.

Post Body

Hi there,

Recently, I've received a spam email that was spoofed and supposedly sent from my own email address. I know the trick, but I noticed something odd which I would like to get clarified.

When clicking on the sender's email (mine) on Outlook, I get to see my profile and also my recently sent emails. Does this always happen on Outlook when you click on a spoofed email and you actually see your own profile?

When checking my outbox, it shows nothing, but it doesn't sit right with me that when I click the sender's email (mine) that it actually redirects to my profile.

Is this normal?

I would appreciate any clarification regarding this.

Thanks
