You can use the PAB icon to report any email as a phishing email, but you cannot use the PAB to report multiple emails at once. You should report each potential phishing email individually. However, if you report an email that has multiple emails associated with it, all of the associated emails will be reported as well.

To use the PAB add-on in your online inbox, follow the steps below:

 Instructions

  1. Log in to your Gmail account on your web browser.

  2. Open the email that you would like to report.

  3. Open the add-on menu on the right side of your Google inbox and click the phish hook icon to open the PAB add-on.

  4. Click the blue Phish Alert button to report the email.

  5. Once the confirmation message appears, click the back arrow to go back to your inbox. The reported email will be moved to the Trash folder.

    Note: If you're viewing an email in split pane mode, the back arrow is not available. You can change your Gmail inbox settings to make the back arrow visible. You can also click Inbox or your browser's back arrow to go back to your inbox.

Highlight important information in a panel like this one. To edit this panel's color or style, select one of the options in the menu.
