Managing Quarantine Emails in Microsoft Outlook
Table of Contents
Introduction
Quarantined emails are those flagged as potentially harmful or spam, and Outlook’s filtering system isolates them to protect your inbox.
Managing quarantined emails in Microsoft Outlook is essential for:
- Maintaining the efficiency and security of your email communications.
- Ensuring that legitimate emails aren't missed and spam or phishing emails don't clutter your inbox.
You can access your Quarantine email notifications, to review and manage Quarantined Emails via Microsoft’s Security and Compliance Center. Microsoft Outlook typically sends notifications about quarantine emails to inform you about messages that have been quarantined. It looks for emails with subjects like Quarantine Notification or Spam Quarantine.
