    Can't you just swipe the dodgy email to the left to delete it?

    Good that you can get rid of the emails. Not sure why you would want to mark them, or who you would mark them to. But if you really want to do that you'd probably have to do it from a computer rather than on your phone.

    When you mark an email as a phishing scam it sends the info to Microsoft. The more people who do it the more it helps in dealing with the scum behind it. i know if I am on a PC I can do it but sometimes I am on a tablet and one is there. It is best to get them dealt with quickly I think. That is why I asked about how to do it on the mobile version.

    You don't really think MS actually do anything to stop people sending spam do you? I think that's a bit of an optimistic view. The best you could expect is that they might add more spam filtering into Outlook, it might stop you getting the same one in the future but it won't do anything to stop them being sent.
