How to Report Emails as phishing in All 3 versions of Outlook

Microsoft has streamlined the process for reporting phishing emails in the new Outlook. Follow these steps to report suspicious emails:

Open the Email:
Launch the new Outlook app on your desktop and navigate to the email you suspect is phishing.
Right-click on the Email:
Right-click on the email or open it fully in the reading pane.
Select “Report” Option:
In the context menu, hover over or click “Report”.
Choose “Phishing” Option:
Click “Phishing” to report the email. This will notify Microsoft’s security team, and the email will be moved to the Junk folder.
Alternative Method:
You can also use the “Report Phishing” button located in the top ribbon if the email is open.

In older versions of Outlook, the process is similar but with a slightly different interface. Here’s how to report phishing emails in legacy Outlook:

Once selected, the email will be flagged as phishing and moved to the Junk folder.
Alternative Method:
You can also use the “Report” tab in the ribbon and click “Junk”, then select “Report As Phishing”.

For users accessing Outlook via a web browser, reporting phishing emails is equally straightforward. Here’s how to do it in Outlook online:
