How do I submit suspected spam emails to Microsoft?

Microsoft helps you do that in a few ways:

  • If you're using Microsoft Office Outlook, you can download and install the Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Add-in. Once installed, go to the Home tab and click Junk, then Report Junk:

  • If you're using Hotmail or the web-based Outlook, you can report spam emails by selecting the emails, then clicking either Junk (for routine junk or spam emails) or Phishing Scam (for emails that try to get you to send information like passwords and bank account details):

Other ways to report junk emails are outlined here:
