Junk email messages are typically referred to as spam. These are messages that you don't want to receive that may be advertising products you don't use or find offensive. If you choose the Junk option, a copy of the message may be sent to Microsoft to help update our spam filters, and the message will be moved from your Inbox to your Junk Email folder.

Note: You should never mark alerts or other emails from legitimate Bryant senders as junk. If the message doesn't apply to you, simply delete it.

Phishing is the practice of luring you into disclosing personal information, such as bank account numbers and passwords. Often phishing messages look legitimate, but have deceptive links that actually open fake websites. If you select Phishing, a copy of your message will be sent to Microsoft and to our security team to help update our filters, and the message will be moved from your Inbox to your Junk Email folder.

Note: Never forward phishing emails to the Help Desk or anyone else. Use the instructions below to report the message or simply delete it if you are unable to report it.
