Microsoft junk e mail reporting add in

You're referring to the "Junk Email Reporting" add-in from Microsoft!

The Junk Email Reporting add-in is a feature that allows you to report suspected junk emails to Microsoft, which helps improve the effectiveness of their spam filtering algorithms. Here's how it works:

  1. When you receive a suspected junk email in your Outlook inbox, you can click the "Junk" button in the toolbar to mark it as junk.
  2. This will open a small window with a "Report Junk" button. Clicking this button will send the email to Microsoft's junk email reporting system.
  3. Microsoft's system will analyze the email and add it to their database of known spam messages.
  4. The next time you receive an email with similar characteristics, Outlook will be more likely to flag it as junk.

The Junk Email Reporting add-in is available for Outlook 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. To enable it, follow these steps:

Outlook 2003 and 2007:

  1. Open Outlook and go to the "Tools" menu.
  2. Click on "Options" and then select the "Preferences" tab.
  3. Click on the "Junk Email" button.
  4. Check the box next to "Enable junk email reporting".

Outlook 2010, 2013, and 2016:

  3. Click on the "Trust Center Settings" button.
  4. Select the "Spam" tab.
  5. Check the box next to "Enable junk email reporting".

By reporting junk emails, you're helping Microsoft improve their spam filtering algorithms, which can help reduce the amount of spam you receive in your inbox.
