Report a phishing email
Hand a fake message to your mail provider in two presses.
Deleting a fake message clears it from view. Reporting it tells your provider, which is how the next one gets stopped.
The button lives in the same menu as Delete, one press further along.
Key points
- Reporting hands the message to your provider; deleting only hides it
- The button is in the same menu as Delete, one step further in
What to remember
- Reporting takes one press more than deleting.
- Deleting protects you. Reporting protects everybody else too.
