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). Admins can also customize where messages get reported to (reporting mailbox, Microsoft, or both) and what the user sees both before and after reporting messages from these buttons.
