Starting August 2024 for classic Microsoft Outlook for Windows, we will add new built-in reporting buttons that allow users to report emails as phishing / junk / not junk. The new buttons will be included in the next semi-annual release of Outlook for Windows. Admins can control the appearance and behavior of these buttons from the User reported settings page in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal (security.microsoft.com).
