The Phishing button only appears in **Outlook Desktop** for your **primary mailbox**. 1. If you're viewing your emails in [Outlook for the Web](https://outlook.office.com) or the Outlook Mobile app then just delete the phishing email instead without reporting 2. If you're viewing a shared mailbox in Outlook Desktop, you can either move the message to your primary mailbox and report from there or just delete the phishing email in the shared mailbox. 2. Check if the button is hidden, [see above](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/microsoft-365-ribbon#hidden) 3. Restart Outlook Desktop and the button may re-appear. 4. If the **Mark as Phishing** button still isn't showing, don't worry about reporting the email, just delete it instead.   - [Communications](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/communications?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Branding](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/communications?hsLang=en#branding) - [Devices](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/devices?hsLang=en#main-content) - [All Devices](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/devices?hsLang=en#all-devices) - [Computer](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/devices?hsLang=en#computer) - [iPhone, iPad & Android](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/devices?hsLang=en#iphone-ipad-android) - [Personal](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/devices?hsLang=en#personal) - [Links](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/links?hsLang=en) - [Software & Services](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Artificial Intelligence (AI)](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#artificial-intelligence-ai) - [Calendars & Tasks](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#calendars-tasks) - [CMS & Database](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#cms-database) - [Emails](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#emails) - [Files](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#files) - [Meetings](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#meetings) - [Finance](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#finance) - [Forms](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#forms) - [PDFs](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#pdfs) - [Printing & Scanning](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#printing-scanning) - [Security & Data Protection](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#security-data-protection) - [SharePoint & OneDrive](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#sharepoint-onedrive) - [Staff](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#staff) - [Teams](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#teams) - [Teams Phone](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#teams-phone) - [Video Conferencing](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/software-services?hsLang=en#video-conferencing) - [Website](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/website?hsLang=en) - [Contact](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/contact?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org/hs-fs/hubfs/apple-touch-icon-1.png?width=24&height=24&name=apple-touch-icon-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.stalbansdiocese.org?hsLang=en) St Albans Diocesan IT Team Copyright © 2026, Diocese of St Albans
