It's actually a very simple matter to configure any email client, e.g. Microsoft Outlook, so that the sender's address is shown to be whatever you choose for outgoing emails. So, if I were to set up my own email client with Martin's address as the sender address, the recipient would think that it originated from Martin. If the recipient chose to reply, that reply would of course then go to Martin and not to me.
Thanks Ian. That makes sense, even to a technophobe! I like to think that with fairly regular password changes and paying loads of money to a well known internet security company should keep me safe!
