Abstract
Techniques for performing a fuzzy match of data from multiple sources are provided. In one technique, an email address of a sender of an email message is extracted from the email message. The email address is used to retrieve, from a first data source, first entity data about one or more entities, such as users. The first entity data is used to retrieve, from a second data source, second entity data about one or more entities. First data that pertains to the sender and that originates from the first data source is combined with second data that pertains to the sender and that originates from the second data source to generate sender data. The sender data is then presented via an email client that displays the email message.
