allow quarantined emails to be deleted from the quarantine list for clarity
ability to delete emails in the quarantined queue that were reviewed and are irrelevant . this will make it easier to check the queue over time instead of waiting for the messages to expire.

Thank you for the feedback. Although we don’t have a timeframe in mind to share yet, this is something we would like to prioritize.

If not delete, then at least hide or filter out so you don't have wind up reviewing things more than once. But this really is mandatory from a user perspective, since some of us get 20-50 junk mails a day and sorting through them is tedious.

If MS is concerned about admins losing access to potential sample messages from the quarantine, this could just be an archive function that hides the message from the end user's quarantine view while leaving the messages they want to see in the quarantine.

Until recently, my customers were able to perform this action. I've opened today a case with Microsoft Support. It seems this feature has been removed and this action rely on a compliance administrator from now on.
At some point, I can understand why this was removed, but it shouldn't have been. This should be controlled in some DLP policies, not completely removed.

This feature is available in every other anti-spam product I have ever used. Users need this!

one of the biggest complaints in our company is the quarantine console. user can select multiple message, click delete, say ok to the confirmation dialog.....then they get a permissions error.
Users should be able to delete email from quarantine if they like.....or at least this should be a setting at the tenant level with exceptions. Bulk delete should just work.

It's 2019 and this still hasn't be implemented.

The only current way to filter this is through PowerShell:
Get-QuarantineMessage | where {$_.Released -match "false"}
will show you only messages not already released.
Then if you decide you want to release the message in PS too you can use the Release-QuarantineMessage cmd -

I would like to suggest the following
once a email is reviewed and released it should be removed from the list. As we are going thru the bulk and spam folders we should be able to also have a button to push to add those messages we see repeat, and block them in one click. Please take care of this, this would make this tool so much better.

Please, do something about that. Managing quarantine is a big mess!

This is actually now available in the Security & Compliance Center, just not Exchange Admin Console. Unfortunately S&C doesn't readily show you where emails have been released to recipients, whereas EAC does, so it's not perfect, but it's better than it was.

We just switched from another vendor, who offers this ability for the end user. This is not an arbitrary request, once you have used it becomes essential.

It is very difficult to maintain the list of quarantined emails, we have a group of staff monitoring this list and have to visit each email in turn to make sure its been release or not. Other systems we have used remove the email once removed from quarantine.... please make the change.

Administrators can now delete messages from the hosted quarantine with PowerShell. See Get-QuarantinedMessage and Delete-QuarantinedMessage. Update status of request?

This feature is absolutely NECESSARY for security reasons. We have had large phishing campaigns where the emails were properly quarantined, but we have NO WAY to prevent users from releasing the malicious e-mails and clicking on them. We are only able to delete messages that have already arrived in users' mailboxes. There is nothing we can do for known-malicious quarantined e-mails.

We also need this feature.

We've been getting hit by spammers weekly during our migration to O365 from Notes. This would be such a great thing to have so users are not sending themselves a bogus quarantine notification from a real quarantine notification. If I could just select them all and DELETE, it would save us so much time during outbreaks.

Couldn't agree more, if an email is convincing enough (there's plenty that are) users will release them from the quarantine and start clicking on malicious links. Admins at least should be able to remove these type of emails from the quarantine to prevent users releasing them.

Being able to delete, or prevent a user from releasing an e-mail, is a must have for admins. Malicious messages are quarantined but if the user can release it and fall for the phishing attach then it puts the company at risk.
