Understanding Quarantine and Notifications for Quarantined Messages

Introduction

Quarantine and notifications for quarantined emails are essential for email security. This article explains what quarantine is, its role in protecting your email, and why receiving notifications for quarantined emails is important for managing potential threats and ensuring important emails are not missed.

What is Quarantine?

Quarantine is a temporary holding area for suspicious or potentially harmful emails. It prevents potentially harmful messages, like spam, phishing, or malware, from reaching your inbox. Emails are held in quarantine for further inspection to ensure they are safe.

The Importance of Notifications

When an email is quarantined, you receive a notification. This allows you to:

  1. Identify False Positives: Legitimate emails may occasionally be flagged as suspicious. Notifications help you identify and release these emails.

  2. Take Prompt Action: Notifications allow you to review quarantined emails, verify their legitimacy, and release, block, or delete them as needed.






How to Handle Notifications for Quarantined Emails

  1. View All Quarantined Emails: Notifications show recently quarantined emails. To view the full list, click the Quarantine Page link or visit https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine.

  2. Manage Quarantined Emails: On the Quarantine Page, you can:

    • Release: Deliver the email to your inbox.
    • Block: Mark it as spam or malicious.
    • Delete: Permanently remove the email.




Conclusion

Quarantine and notifications are essential tools for protecting your email. By understanding how to manage quarantined emails, you can prevent potential threats and ensure important emails are not delayed. Regularly review quarantined emails to maintain a secure and efficient email experience.
