Did you know that Google Claims “Less Than 0.1%” of messages that arrive in your Gmail inbox are spam?
Their email Algorithm is really good at spotting the emails that are trying to scam you.
But Google makes mistakes sometimes and can mark IMPORTANT emails and messages as “spam”
In fact, it’s more than likely that you have some IMPORTANT emails in your spam folder right now. In Googles haste of trying to protect you from scams, they throw other emails in that folder “Just In Case” Airing on the side of protection.
How can we make sure we are not missing any essential emails?
The solution: Whitelisting email addresses and domains.
Whitelisting an email is a very easy process that will help you deliver important emails and avoid ending up in your spam folder.
How To Whitelist In Gmail:
#1 Log Into Your Gmail & Open Your Settings
Make sure you are logged into your Gmail account.
Once you are in, click on the gear up top by your picture icon. A drop – down list will follow, select the “See all settings” tab.
#2 Select Filters and Blocked Addresses
Under the settings, you will see a row, click on the fifth option where it says “Filters and Blocked Addresses”.
#3 Create A New Filter
Make sure you scroll down and select the “Create a new filter” button. This will be in the center of the page like so down below…
#4 Add Your Email Address That You Want To Whitelist
After you have selected the “Create a new filter” button, a pop-up showing an email address should appear like the one shown below. Type in the email address that you want to whitelist right next to the “from” line. After you have put in that information, make sure you select “Create filter”
#5 “Never Send It To Spam”
We are almost finished, make sure you check “Never send to spam” box. Once you have selected this, press the “create filter” button. Bam! the email address has now been whitelisted.
#6 Confirm Whitelisted Email Address
We recommend double checking to make sure the email address has actually been whitelisted. After you select the “create filter” button you will be taken back to the settings page. Look under “themes” and see what filters are now applied to your email.
You should see the email you whitelisted with the message “Never send it to Spam” below it. That is it! Easy-peasy. Thank you so much!
