Mobile app (Outlook, Mail, or other)

Most email apps don't let you forward as an attachment or offer selections to report emails as junk / phishing. Instead, when you open the email, you'll be given an option like:

• Move to Spam (in Outlook app if you tap the three dots (...) in the top toolbar), or
• Move to Junk (in Mail app if you tap the flag icon in the bottom toolbar) for example.

Use these options to transfer fraudulent emails out of your inbox and into your Junk Folder so you're less likely to interact with them. The next time you access your email through the Outlook Client or Outlook on the Web, go into your Junk Folder and report them to Microsoft using the instructions above.

Using the UoD Library app to get your emails? You can only delete or reply to emails in the app and should delete spam / phishing emails in the absence of other functionality.
