Gmail is one of the best email services from Google. Many people use Gmail for online services like ebay, Paypal, banking service, etc. Such services often sent email to us, but how we can spot its legitimacy?

To prevent huge financial loss you should identify the original source of the mail. Gmail has an anti-fishing feature to identify the legitimate email.If this feature enabled, it will authenticate the mail and display a key icon (see screen shot below) next to the message. If authentication failed, it will reject the mail.
