APPARENTLY means it APPEARS to be so, no more no less.

So if your name is in the From: field it would APPEAR that the message
is from you, or to put it differently the message is APPARENTLY from
you.

That is NOT the same as saying that the message is ACTUALLY from you,
only that it APPEARS to be.

You are accusing THEM of doing something but you now admit you don't
know whether they did it or not!

You admit that you don't know the facts. You admit that you are only
going on your suppositions about what was actually in those messages.

On that basis, I don't see that we can have anything fruitful to say
about the matter.
