Dhairyya_Agarwal Is this change still being made by the end of April? 

 

"... Also to simplify reporting messages in your organization, we'll be integrating the report feature directly into Outlook's default Junk and Phishing buttons starting.  You will no longer need the Report Message add-in.  All tenants will see the new change by end of April 2022.  

 

I believe I see this has occurred in the web version of Outlook, but will this feature also be in the local Outlook instance?  If so, when and how will that be available?  Will there be an Office Update or will that automatically appear in Outlook?

 

Thank you

No, the timelines have changed and we dont have an updated ETA as of now.

We have not rolled it out anywhere till now. There will be prior communication before it is rolled out anywhere

    Dhairyya_Agarwal Any news on the ETA on this? I just notice that if I reported a message using the built-in reporting mechanism on Outlook Desktop on Windows it turned up ni the security.microsoft.com > Actions & Submissions > Submissions > User reported so maybe we're getting close in not needing the Report Message Add-in anymore?

      JonasBack there is no update on the ETA for outlook Windows clients, Outlook Mobile client and Outlook Mac client. To make the transition smoother, the report phish and report message add-in and the inbuild report button are both supported by Microsoft. Irrespective of wherever the end user report from, it will be routed as per your user reported settings. 

       

      Hope that helps.
