I Reported an Email as Phishing by Mistake - How Do I Restore it?

If you find an email in your Outlook Junk Email folder that should not be identified as Junk, ​you can report the email as Not Junk which:

  • Moves the email from your Junk Email folder to your Inbox.

  • Adds the sender to your Outlook Safe Senders list.

  • Reports the sender as legitimate to Microsoft helping to improve Microsoft's Spam filters.
