There are two visual buttons you might see: a Red Shield with an exclamation point, or a white envelope with a yellow shield in the bottom right corner. Both achieve the same function of reporting Junk messages or Phishing messages. You may see both in the same application and in different locations than the ones shown in this article.
Shield
Envelope
BRCC Employee computers have a more traditional version of Microsoft office. On this version of Outlook in it's default state, you might only see the Envelope icon on the far right of the Home ribbon. It will be in the same place on floating message windows.
If you've installed Office on your personal computer you may see both the Shield and Envelope in your Home ribbon. The shield is closer to the left, while the Envelope is closer to the right of your window. It will be similar on floating message windows.
You may also see the Shield in your contextual menu near the bottom when you right-click or two-finger-click (touchpad).
New Outlook is likely installed on your computer if you have any of the Microsoft Office versions. In both New Outlook you may see both the Shield and Envelope icons. The Shield will be towards the left of the Home ribbon and the Envelope, if visible will be towards the right. It will be similar in floating message windows.
When viewing a message in the preview pane, you may see the envelope at the top right of the message.
You may also see the Shield in your contextual menu near the bottom when you right-click or two-finger-click (touchpad).
