You\u2019ve just subscribed to a newsletter that you\u2019re excited about and don\u2019t want to miss any emails. What can you do?\u00a0 That\u2019s where whitelisting comes in.<\/p>\n

A whitelist is a list of email addresses that you can create. Placing an email address on a whitelist tells the computer that you want to receive emails from those email addresses.\u00a0 Think of the whitelist as being the opposite of a blacklist where people are being excluded.\u00a0 Whitelisting an email address gives it a \u201cgreen light\u201d on your computer or smartphone.<\/p>\n

The instructions for whitelisting an email address vary depending on the type of email software you\u2019re using.\u00a0 We\u2019ve listed the most common email software below.<\/p>\n

Apple iPhone<\/h3>\n

In your email program, select the email that is from the email address you want to whitelist. Click on the person\u2019s name. You\u2019ll get a new screen that gives you a choice to Create New Contact. Click that, then click Done. The contact is now added to your Address Book.<\/p>\n

Gmail or G-Suite<\/h3>\n

There are two steps you can take to whitelist an email address in Gmail. One way is to click on an existing email and click the drop down arrow next to the Reply button on the right side of the email body. You\u2019ll see the choice \u201cAdd ___ to Contacts list.\u201d Choosing this will add the person and email address to your Contacts and Gmail typically delivers those emails to your inbox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t work, you can also go into Settings by clicking the gear icon at the top right and selecting Settings from the drop-down menu. Choose the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab. Click on Create a New Filter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter the email address in the From field and click the link at the bottom right labeled \u201cCreate filter with this search.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Check the box next to \u201cNever send it to Spam.\u201d You also have the option to Star the message, mark it as important, move it to another folder, and more. Click the Create Filter button.<\/p>\n

Outlook<\/h3>\n

There are many versions of Outlook, and the instructions are similar in all versions. Locate the email message and select it. From the menu, locate the Junk icon and click the arrow to the right. The drop down menu will include \u201cNever Block Sender;\u201d select it. You can also choose \u201cNever Block Sender\u2019s Domain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A similar way to whitelist an email address is to select the email message and right click. Mouse over the Junk option in the drop down and click \u201cNever Block Sender\u201d or \u201cNever Block Sender\u2019s Domain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other Email Apps<\/h3>\n
