Other email providers
If you're using a different email provider, you can usually find the safe sender list or whitelist settings by searching for "whitelist" or "safe sender list" in your email provider's settings or help section.
Additional tips
- Make sure to add the email address exactly as it appears in the sender's email address field.
- If you're using a disposable email address or a temporary email address, you may need to add the domain name (e.g., @example.com) instead of the specific email address.
- Adding an email address to your safe sender list does not guarantee that emails from that address will always be delivered to your inbox. However, it can help reduce the likelihood of emails being marked as spam or blocked.
