Using the 'Report Message' Button in Outlook
How to use the 'Report Message' button in Outlook
If you've received emails you're not sure about, Outlook has a feature to help you report it. Whether its a message about a delivery but you didn't order a package, or someone impersonating your CEO, there's a new feature in Outlook to help you report suspicious emails. All you have to do is the following:
- Find the below ribon in the top right corner of your outlook message.
- Click the button with the envelope and exclamation mark to bring down the drop down.
- Report the message as as Junk/Phishing
- Tell your IT team/Managed Service Provider
If you are ever concerned about emails, always report them. If you think an email might be spam or phishing, use the Report Message button as above. You can report as many suspicious emails as you like, and it's always better to report an email if you're not 100% sure, your IT team or MSP can always check. Make sure not to click any links in emails you're not sure about, and don't forward them on. If you have clicked links, make sure to change your password straight away.
