Microsoft is rolling out deprecation of legacy Exchange tokens that may prevent your users from being able to report emails using the Expel custom Office 365 Phishing button.

Expel is working on development and testing of an updated Expel O365/M365 Phishing button for web and desktop applications that will work with the NAA authentication scheme.

Until Expel is able to deploy the newly developed Phishing button, you should follow the instructions from Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/turn-exchange-tokens-on-off) to enable legacy tokens for your tenant. It can take up to 24 hours for this change to take effect.

Contact support if you need assistance with this process.

Phishing submissions continue to be degraded for a small number of customers that use the custom Expel Office 365 button. We have identified the root cause and will be rolling out an update as soon as possible.

If your button isn’t working, talk directly with your Customer Success Manager (CSM), who will be able to offer you direct & tailored support as we work to resolve this. Alternatively, you can submit phishing emails manually. Visit our Help Center for step-by-step instructions.
