Sometimes essential emails get mixed up and misdirected\u2026<\/p>\n

Urgent emails are merged with the rest of the real spam mails that reduce every user\u2019s overall productivity and space!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article helps you to avoid that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whitelisting, or shall we say Safelisting<\/em> your emails, bypasses the automatic spam filters in whichever platform you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n

The best plan of attack in making sure your important emails are where you want them to be (and not in the spam box) is to create a list of email addresses from your contacts.<\/p>\n

The concept is simple\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, all email service platforms approach safe listing in slightly different ways from the others.<\/p>\n

Let me show you! <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>You cannot add a sender email to your contact list since a quick checkbox is unavailable.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry; there are several practical ways to safelist your contacts in Gmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADD EMAIL ADDRESSES TO CONTACTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SAFELIST SPAM EMAILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s also an easy way to safelist a friend that had already sent you an email before you had the chance to add them to your contacts.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the fix\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: <\/strong>Open your Spam Box by clicking on \u201cSpam\u201d <\/strong>from the navigation bar on the right.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Find the email you wish to take out.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Search for the Spam<\/strong> Label at the top of the email and click the \u201cx\u201d<\/strong> button next to the Spam Label to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ADD A NON-SPAM FILTER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s pretty easy to create a spam filter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Look for \u201cSettings\u201d <\/strong>(the gear icon on the upper right), click on it, and \u201cSee all Settings.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Select Filters and Blocked Addresses<\/strong> from the navigation links on top. Scroll down and select Create a new filter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong>\u00a0 Enter an entire domain (for people from the same company) or a specific email address in the Search mail form.<\/strong> When Done, click Create Filter. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: <\/strong>On the next form, select Never send it to Spam<\/strong>. Finally, click or tap Create filter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And you\u2019re done! The new filter will show up on your list of filters, too!<\/p>\n

Easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to safelist Yahoo! Emails <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

You can safelist your Yahoo mails by adding the Contact or creating a filter – just like Gmail! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADD A YAHOO CONTACT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Open your Yahoo Mail<\/strong> and select the Contacts Card Icon<\/strong> located on the upper right corner. Select New Contact<\/strong> in the left navigation pane.<\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Complete the Add Contact form<\/strong> and click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tadaaa!<\/strong> Any incoming email from this address will directly go to your Inbox, not Spam. <\/em><\/p>\n

ADD A FILTER IN YAHOO MAIL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adding a filter is a one-time, effortless measure to ensure that the email lands directly in your Inbox.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go to Settings <\/strong>(the Gear icon in the upper right corner of your inbox) and click More Settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Tap Filters<\/strong> from the navigation menu on the left and then click Add new filters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to safelist Outlook Emails<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

If you’re an Outlook Online user, safe listing your friends is similar. Add Contacts to safelist friends or use the Safe Senders feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADD CONTACTS IN OUTLOOK.COM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Outlook is as easy as Gmail or Yahoo when it comes to Safelisting your emails.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go and open your Outlook Online Contacts<\/strong> by hovering to the People icon<\/strong> on the lower-left corner of the window.<\/p>\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Type in the details, and when you\u2019re done, create the new contact. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As long as the email address is recorded, any email you\u2019ve yet to receive won\u2019t go to Spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ADD CONTACT TO SAFE SENDERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How to Safelist Comcast\u00a0 Emails<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

While Comcast might seem new to some users, it\u2019s already established as one of the most noteworthy Internet Service Providers in the US.<\/p>\n

Comcast is branded as Xfinity; they offer customers a free email account.<\/p>\n

Ways to safelist your friends in Xfinity are practically the same as other platforms. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADD AN XFINITY CONTACT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Add them to your contact list. Easy.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Log into your email account, hover to the top menu, and click on the Address Book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Click the Create Contact<\/strong> icon. Fill it up and save<\/strong> the form.<\/p>\n

Want an even faster way? <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can safelist emails even from your other accounts.<\/p>\n

Follow this path on Xfinity: Address Book > Import Contacts > Get Started.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just walk through the wizard as it helps you in importing existing contacts from your other accounts (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or even a text file)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ADD A SAFELIST EMAIL FILTER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just like the rest of the platforms, create a Filter. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go to Settings (the gear icon on the upper right corner.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Under Mail<\/strong> in the left pane, click on Filter Rules<\/strong>, then the Add New Rule<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Make the Rule Name your friend’s name.<\/strong> Then Add condition<\/strong> > choose Sender\/From. <\/strong>Type all email addresses or domains to Safelist in the Contains field > Add action link > Keep > Save new rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMAIL SAFE LIST<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This one\u2019s pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n

Follow this path: Settings > Advanced Settings > Email Safelist <\/strong><\/p>\n

Word of Caution: When you enable this feature, only the emails on your safelist will show in your Inbox – every other email not included will be discarded automatically.<\/p>\n

It also prevents anyone else OUTSIDE THE LIST<\/strong> from being able to send you an email. Ever. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So you might wanna save this one for if you want to use your Xfinity account to communicate with a limited number of people.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great for eliminating all spam types – although not very useful as an email overall, but it\u2019s spamless, so I guess that\u2019s a good trait.
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So I guess that\u2019s a wrap!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just be wary of Spam Mails.<\/p>\n

Aside from the annoyance, in the long run, they make you less trusting online – the longer you have to deal with them.<\/p>\n

By doing any of the above, you\u2019ll have a cleaner and more effective dashboard the next time you log in.<\/p>\n

Stay Spamless!<\/strong><\/p>\n
