Check your email client's settings

  1. Update your spam filter settings: Adjust your email client's spam filter settings to be more lenient or specific.

  3. Check your email client's junk folder settings: Ensure that your email client is set to check the junk folder regularly and update its settings accordingly.

Check the email itself
