Note that you are overwriting sender each time through the loop.
Also [2] isa the third element, I think you want the second [1]
BTW Its probably clearer to write that last line as:
if line.startswith('From') and '@' in line:
sender = line.split()[1]
Better still may be to split the line first:
sections = line.split()
if 'FROM' in sections[0].upper() and '@' in sections:
sender = sections[1]
print sender
And this is outside the loop so will only print the last item.
To print all of them you need to move the print inside the loop.
