The Report Phishing Outlook add-in (also referred to as the COM add-in) allows your users to report phishing emails they receive in their inboxes in the Outlook desktop app. Reported phishing emails will be counted in your testing data. The Report Phishing COM add-in only works on Outlook desktop and does not require a Microsoft (Office) 365 account. It only works on 64-bit versions of Outlook that are running on a 64-bit Windows machine. It is not supported on the EU version of Portal or on terminal server environments. Note that the Report Phishing COM add-in is not the same as the Microsoft KillPhish add-in or the Google Workspace/Gmail KillPhish Lite add-in.
This article describes how to set up the Report Phishing Outlook desktop COM add-in.
Note: If you deployed the COM add-in prior to August 2, 20222, you will need to configure an incoming mail server on the Mail Settings page in order for reported actions to be logged on phishing tests.
