Report Spam Using the Outlook Add-on
You can use the free Outlook Email client add-on to report spam emails (in .msg format) which have not been blocked by the system.
With the release of Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft introduced 64-bit versions of the applications. If you have 64-bit Windows installed, it is likely that you also have the 64-bit version of Office. In order for the Outlook add-on to work, you should install the correct version that matches your Outlook version.
For Outlook 2007 you should use the 32-bit version.
Microsoft Outlook 32-bit add-on
Microsoft Outlook 64-bit add-on
Check your Microsoft Office version
In any Office application open the File menu, and then select Help. Version information is displayed.
Please be aware that the Outlook add-on is a legacy feature and may not be compatible with newer versions of Outlook.
Install the add-on
The download consists of two files. A setup.exe and an installation .msi file. The setup.exe file is to be used if your workstation is missing any of the requirements needed to run the .msi file. This includes a copy of Net Framework 4 and relevant runtime files.
If you get any errors relating to a newer version of an installation on the workstation, simply run the .msi file directly.
Download the relevant .ZIP file according to your Office version.
Unzip the file to a temporary location.
Proceed to run the extracted msi file. If you are using Microsoft Windows Vista or 7, run the file with administrator privileges. To do this, right-click on the downloaded icon and choose Run as Administrator.
In the first page of the Setup Wizard, click Next.
If the installer shows an error relating to missing requirements, quit the installation and run the setup.exe file.
Choose the location you wish to install the program (the defaults are ok).
If you want this add-on for your user account only, choose Just for me, otherwise click For Everyone. Click Next.
The Disk Cost button shows you the disk space availability on the PC.
Click Next on the following screen and confirm the installation.
Your add-on will start to install.
Once installed, restart Microsoft Outlook. Your add-on will be visible in the Add-ins tab.
If you are unable to see the add-on after installation, go to Options, and then check to see if the Report Spam option is added as a COM. If not you can go to COM Add-Ins, check ReportSpam and click OK.
To report spam, select the message that passed the filter that you wish to report, and then click the Report Spam button.
The message will then be reported and moved to the Trash folder.
