Report Junk Emails Within Outlook
Have you received junk emails in your inbox? If so, you can easily report the junk email and block the sender through Microsoft's "Report Junk" feature within Outlook (desktop, mobile, or online). To learn how to use the "Report Junk" feature, please review the instructions below. (If you are not using Outlook or the feature is not available, you can contact infosec@miami.edu.)
By enabling this feature and encouraging our community to report junk emails, the IT Security team aims to continue to protect the University community against unwanted email. (Note: To report a message as phishing, follow these instructions.)
