Spam emails always find a way to slip into your inbox somehow. You know spam is a serious problem when a multi-billion dollar company like Microsoft is doing everything it can to keep your inbox clean but still struggles to keep up with spammers. Microsoft’s Outlook has recorded over 25 million active users, and every single user is experiencing the same problem with spam email.

Going through your mail can be annoying when your inbox is filled with spam emails about a new product on sale from Best Buy or phishing emails about a free gift card you can acquire by clicking a suspicious link. If you are having trouble with spam and you want to know how to report spam email to Microsoft, DoNotPay is here to make the process easier.

How Do I Report Spam Emails to Microsoft?

Many spam emails slip through Microsoft’s filters, and there are also legit emails that end up in your junk or spam folder. In order to help Microsoft improve the filters and prevent this from happening in the future, do not ignore or delete a spam email. Instead, send it to Microsoft Spam Analysis or Phishing Analysis.

To report spam email to Microsoft, you need to:

1. Create a new blank email
2. Put in one of the following recipients depending on what type of spam email you’re reporting:

   2. for phishing email write to phish@office365.microsoft.com
3. Drag the junk or phishing email into the new blank email. Do not copy/paste the email since Microsoft needs an original form as it is easier to inspect.
4. Click on Send to finish the process

Make sure to always report spam email since that is the best way to get revenge on spammers.

If an important email has ended up in the junk folder, you can reverse that process by:

The Difference Between Phishing and Junk Email

Many people see phishing and junk emails as the same, but that is not the case. The main difference between the two is the intention of the sender.

Junk or spam email is mostly commercial and can include coupons, special sales, and even donation solicitations. You can opt out of receiving spam at any given time. If a company continues to spam you after you clicked the unsubscribe button, you can file a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission against the company.

Phishing emails are a scam created to steal your personal information. The scammer typically pretends to be an important person from a familiar company. Phishing emails usually ask you to fill in the blanks with your personal data, or they have a link in the email that may lead to a suspicious website or contains malware.
