Microsoft Quarantine

Most spam email will continue to be sent to the Junk folder in Outlook which you should continue to review for any legitimate messages. No action is needed, unless you identify legitimate email in quarantine.

Email deemed to be high-risk will be quarantined -- you will be emailed a daily digest of any quarantined email from quarantine@messaging.microsoft.com. You only need to take action if legitimate email has been quarantined.

Email will be quarantined for 30 days, after which it will be deleted.

  • Block Sender immediately blocks the sender of the email from sending you additional messages.
  • Release removes the email from quarantine.
  • Review brings you to the Quaratine page noted in the initial email.
