iCloud...

So he probably had a Mac...

And the Apple Mail client is pretty good, I like it. It's way better than Outlook in terms of user friendliness. Although it has developed some annoying behaviours as Apple have tinkered around the edges, such as decoupling the window display from the actual mailbox/message cache so that it looks like it's deleting a message quickly but it has, in fact, just changed the window display BEFORE the connection to the server has been established, resulting in the sync every few seconds returning deleted messages to the on screen list, shuffling everything up and down, causing the wrong message to be highlighted, so it's very easy to accidentally reply to or delete the wrong message.

But it has one extremely irritating quirk... it will send emails from the account last highlighted in the combined Inbox window view. So it is incredibly easy to, say, send from the wrong account revealing a private email address to a recipient you never intended.
