Mastering Email Whitelisting
Keep the Good Ones in Your Inbox
Are you tired of
important emails ending up in your spam folder? Do you want to ensure that you
never miss an essential message from your favorite senders? The solution lies
in whitelisting or safelisting senders in your email client.
Email
whitelisting is the process of explicitly allowing emails from specific senders
to be delivered to your inbox, preventing them from getting filtered as spam. In this guide,
we'll take you through the simple steps to whitelist senders on some of the
most popular email platforms: Outlook/Office 365, Gmail, Yahoo, and other email
clients.
Please remember to add telware.com, onecloud.com & myonecloud.com to your safelists, to ensure you never miss an email from Telware or OneCloud. Whitelisting in
Outlook or Office 365 is a breeze:
- Click the Gear Icon: In your Outlook account, click the
gear icon, and select "View all Outlook settings."
- Select "Mail": From the settings menu, choose
"Mail."
- Choose "Junk Email": Under "Mail," select
"Junk email."
- Safe Senders and Domains: Click on "Safe senders and domains."
- Add Your Trusted Contacts: In the provided field, add the email
address or domain you want to whitelist and click "Add." Done!
Your preferred senders will never end up in the spam folder again.
Gmail offers a user-friendly
way to ensure you see the emails you want:
- Open Gmail Settings: Click the gear icon in the upper
right corner and choose "See all settings."
- Filters and Blocked Addresses: Head over to the "Filters and
Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Create a New Filter: Click "Create a new
filter."
- Set Your Criteria: In the "From" field, enter
the email address or domain you want to whitelist.
- Never Send to Spam: Check the box next to "Never
send it to Spam."
- Create Filter: Click "Create filter," and
voila! Your favorite senders are now whitelisted.
Yahoo Mail users,
don't miss out on essential emails:
- Open Yahoo Settings: Click on the gear icon (Settings) in
the upper right corner.
- More Settings: Select "More Settings."
- Filters: Choose "Filters" from the
left sidebar.
- Add New Filter: Click "Add new filters."
- Name Your Filter: Give your filter a name.
- Define the Sender: In the "Sender" field,
enter the email address or domain you want to whitelist.
- Choose Inbox: Select "Inbox" as the
folder to deliver these emails to.
- Save: Finally, click "Save" to create your whitelist
filter.
Other Email
Clients: Customizing Your Whitelist
For other email
clients, the process may vary, but the concept remains the same. Look for
options like "Safe senders," "Whitelist," or
"Safelist" in your client's settings. Usually, you can add trusted
senders' email addresses or domains to ensure their emails land in your inbox.
Remember, the exact
steps might change over time, so always consult your email client's official
documentation for the most current instructions.
By mastering email
whitelisting, you'll ensure that important messages from your trusted contacts
always reach your inbox. Say goodbye to digging through your spam folder to
rescue essential emails and embrace the efficiency and convenience of
whitelisting!
