Are yahoo mail contacts automatically whitelisted

In Yahoo Mail, contacts are not automatically whitelisted. Whitelisting refers to the process of adding an email address or domain to a list of trusted senders, which allows emails from those senders to bypass spam filters and land directly in the inbox.

When you add a contact in Yahoo Mail, it simply saves the contact's email address and other information in your contacts list. It does not automatically whitelist the contact's email address, which means that emails from that contact may still be filtered as spam or junk mail.

To whitelist a contact's email address in Yahoo Mail, you need to take an additional step:

1. Open your Yahoo Mail inbox.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "More settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Click on the "Filters" tab.
4. Click on the "Add filter" button.
5. Enter the email address of the contact you want to whitelist in the "From" field.
6. Select "Never send to spam" from the dropdown menu.
7. Click "Save" to save the filter.

By following these steps, you can whitelist a contact's email address in Yahoo Mail, which will ensure that emails from that contact are delivered directly to your inbox and not filtered as spam.
