Thank you for joining my list! You’ve signed up, and I want to make sure you get all of my emails from here on out. The problem is that a lot of email providers use spam blockers that block the emails you actually want to receive.
Here’s the workaround:
Be sure to add my email address to your email whitelist to ensure my content lands in your inbox. Don’t know how to whitelist? No problem. I’ll show you how on the most popular email providers; Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail, and Outlook. Sorry, no AOL! Seriously, the 2000s called and said they want their email address back ?
Gmail:
- In your inbox, locate an email from [email protected] (ex. your welcome mail for the product you just purchased).
- Drag this email to the “primary” tab of your inbox.
3. You’ll see that our emails will go to your primary folder in the future!
Yahoo! Mail
When opening an email message, a “+” symbol should display next to From: and the sender’s name. Select this and an “Add to contacts” pop-up should appear. Select “Save”:
Mac Mail
Select “Mail” and “Preferences” from the top menu.
In the “Preferences” window, click the “Rules” icon.
Click the “Add Rule” button.
In the “Rules” window, type a name for your rule in the “Description” field.
Use the following settings: “If any of the following conditions are met: From Contains.”
Type the sender’s email address in the text field beside “Contains.”
Select “Move Message” and “Inbox” from the drop-down menus.Click “Ok” to save the rule.
Outlook 2003 & Later
Right-click on the message in your inbox.
Select “Junk E-mail” from the menu.
Click “Add Sender to Safe Senders List.”
