Tips:

• Make sure to whitelist only trusted senders to avoid compromising your email security.
• If you're using a business or organization email address, you may need to whitelist the domain or IP address through your organization's email administrator.
• Gmail's spam filter is designed to be highly effective, so it's possible that some legitimate emails may still get caught in the filter. If this happens, you can always mark the email as not spam using Method 1.
