What is Safe Senders List?

What is a safe senders list?

Most email clients, such as Gmail, have various spam-fighting methods that help ensure unwanted emails don’t make it into your inbox. Despite these, sometimes emails from unknown or suspicious contacts can still end up in your junk or spam folder without being delivered to your inbox. In order to avoid this, you can add these contacts to your safe senders list or ‘white list’ so that future emails from them won’t end up in your junk folder.

How to add an email address to your safe senders list

You can easily add email addresses or domains into your safe senders list in Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo Mail and other popular email services. To do this, open an email message that contains the address you want to whitelist and right-click it to see the options.

Select ‘Add to safe senders list’ or ‘Whitelist this contact’ as appropriate, and then click OK.

Adding an email address to your safe senders list in Gmail is easy, and can prevent emails from these senders from going straight into your junk folder. It’s also a great way to help Gmail distinguish between legitimate and spam messages.

The safe senders list in Gmail is called ‘whitelist’ because it’s a list of senders that are known to be trustworthy and are not automatically filtered out by the spam filter. The list is updated regularly to ensure that the email addresses on it are still current.

How to add an email address or domain to your safe senders list in Outlook

In Outlook, you can also whitelist or blacklist individual email addresses and entire email domains by using the Junk E-mail Filter. For more information about how to add an email address or domain to your Outlook safe senders list, please visit Microsoft’s support pages.

You can also add an email address or domain to your safe list by navigating to the Junk Email Settings in the top right-hand corner of your Inbox, then clicking on ‘Junk E-mail Options’. Here, you can whitelist or blacklist individual email addresses and email domains as well as specify which types of emails (spam or non-spam) you want to ignore.

How to add an email address from YahooMail safely

Whether you’re on desktop or mobile, it’s always helpful to have a reliable list of contacts that you trust. This is especially important if you’re on the go and don’t always have time to check your email.

However, it can be difficult to remember all your contacts, particularly if you have a large number of different people that you interact with often. To help you remember these names, Yahoo has a handy ‘Contacts’ section that lists your most trusted contacts by default.

To create your own safe senders list in Yahoo, select ‘Contacts’ from the left-side panel of the homepage. Then, fill out the required and optional fields, and then save your contact.

While adding a contact to your safe senders list in Yahoo is an easy process, you’ll want to be sure to keep it up-to-date. Moreover, it is recommended that you do this as frequently as possible so that your list doesn’t become outdated and unreliable.
