Details:
In September 2024, we added new built-in reporting buttons in new Microsoft Outlook for Mac desktops that allow users to report emails as phishing / junk / not junk. Admins can control the appearance and behavior of these buttons from the User reported settings page in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal (security.microsoft.com). Admins can also customize where messages get reported to (reporting mailbox, Microsoft, or both) and what the user sees both before and after reporting messages from these buttons. Your current User reported settings page has not been changed by this rollout. This message applies to new Outlook for the Mac using version 16.89.24090815(16.89.908.0).
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 371393.
