Enable the Microsoft Report Message or Report Phishing Add-ins

Outlook Report Message

The Microsoft Report Message and Report Phishing add-ins for Outlook and Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App or OWA) make it easy for users to report false positives and false negatives to Microsoft for analysis. False positives are good emails that were blocked or sent to the Junk Email folder, while false negatives are unwanted emails or phishing attempts that were delivered to the Inbox.

Microsoft uses these user-reported messages to improve the effectiveness of email protection technologies. For example, if many messages are reported using the Report Phishing add-in, this information surfaces in the Security Dashboard and other reports. Your organization’s security team can use this information as an indication that anti-phishing policies might need to be updated.

The Report Message add-in provides the option to report both spam and phishing messages, while the Report Phishing add-in provides the option to report phishing messages only.

Admins can install and enable the add-ins for the organization through Centralized Deployment, while individual users can install the add-ins for themselves.

After the add-in is installed and enabled, users will see the following icons based on their Outlook client:

  • Outlook for Windows:

    • The Report Message icon in the Classic Ribbon.
    • The Report Message icon in the Simplified Ribbon: Select More commands > Report Message in the Protection section.
    • The Report Phishing icon in the Classic Ribbon.
    • The Report Phishing icon in the Simplified Ribbon: Select More commands > Report phishing in the Protection section.
  • Outlook on the web:

    • The Report Message add-in.
    • The Report Phishing add-in.

What do you need to know before you begin?

  • You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform the procedures in this article. You have the following options:

    • Microsoft Defender XDR Unified role-based access control (RBAC): Security operations/Security data/Response (manage) or Security operations/Security data/Read-only (Affects the Defender portal only, not PowerShell).
    • Email & collaboration permissions in the Microsoft Defender portal: Membership in the Organization Management role group.
    • Exchange Online permissions: Membership in the Organization Management role group.
    • Microsoft Entra permissions: Membership in the Global Administrator role gives users the required permissions and permissions for other features in Microsoft 365.
  • For organizational installs, the organization needs to be configured to use OAuth authentication. For more information, see Determine if Centralized Deployment of add-ins works for your organization.

  • The Report Message and Report Phishing add-ins work with most Microsoft 365 subscriptions and the following products:

    • Outlook on the web.
    • Outlook 2013 SP1 or later.
    • Outlook 2016 for Mac.
    • Outlook included with Microsoft 365 apps for Enterprise.
    • Outlook for iOS and Android.
  • Reporting messages in shared mailboxes or other mailboxes by a delegate using the add-ins isn’t supported. Messages aren’t sent to the reporting mailbox or to Microsoft. Built-in reporting in Outlook on the web in shared mailboxes or other mailboxes by a delegate is supported. Messages are sent to the reporting mailbox or to Microsoft.

  • The add-ins aren’t available for on-premises Exchange mailboxes.

  • For more information on how to report a message using reporting in Outlook, see Report false positives and false negatives in Outlook.

  • If the User reported settings in the organization send user-reported messages (email and Microsoft Teams) to Microsoft (exclusively or in addition to the reporting mailbox), we do the same checks as when admins submit messages to Microsoft for analysis from the Submissions page:

    • Email authentication check (email messages only): Whether email authentication passed or failed when it was delivered.
    • Policy hits: Information about any policies or overrides that might have allowed or blocked the incoming email into the organization, thus overriding our filtering verdicts.
    • Payload reputation/detonation: Up-to-date examination of any URLs and attachments in the message.
    • Grader analysis: Review done by human graders to confirm whether or not messages are malicious.
  • Organizations that use URL filtering or a third-party security solution (e.g., a proxy and/or firewall) must be able to reach the following URLs using the HTTPS protocol:

    • ipagave.azurewebsites.net
    • outlook.office.com
