Mail going to junk

The frustration of emails going to junk!

There are several reasons why your emails might be landing in the junk folder, and I'll help you troubleshoot some common causes and solutions:

1. Spam filters: Most email providers have spam filters that automatically sort out suspicious emails. If your email is flagged as spam, it might end up in the junk folder.
   • Solution: Check your email provider's settings to see if you can whitelist the sender or adjust the spam filter settings.
2. Domain or IP address: If the domain or IP address of the sender is known for sending spam, your email provider might block it.
   • Solution: Check the sender's domain and IP address to see if they're legitimate. You can use online tools like Whois.net or IPVoid.com to verify the domain and IP address.
3. Subject line or content: If the subject line or content of your email is too promotional, contains keywords commonly used in spam emails, or has a suspicious attachment, it might trigger the spam filter.
   • Solution: Review your email content and subject line to ensure they're not too promotional or suspicious. Avoid using all caps, excessive punctuation, or spammy keywords.
4. Sender reputation: If the sender's email address or domain has a poor reputation, your email provider might flag it as spam.
   • Solution: Check the sender's reputation using online tools like SenderScore or Spamhaus. If the sender has a poor reputation, you might need to contact them to improve their email sending practices.
5. Email client or provider settings: Your email client or provider might have specific settings that affect how emails are filtered.
   • Solution: Check your email client or provider's settings to see if there are any specific settings that could be causing the issue. For example, you might need to adjust the spam filter settings or add the sender to your contacts list.
6. Complaints or feedback: If other users have marked your emails as spam, your email provider might flag your emails as spam as well.
   • Solution: Review your email content and subject line to ensure they're not causing users to mark them as spam. You can also try to improve your email sending practices to reduce the likelihood of complaints.

To avoid emails going to junk, make sure to:

• Use a clear and descriptive subject line
• Avoid using spammy keywords or phrases
• Keep your email content relevant and engaging
• Use a legitimate and reputable sender domain and IP address
• Avoid using excessive punctuation or all caps
• Keep your email attachments to a minimum and ensure they're not suspicious
• Monitor your email sending reputation and adjust your practices accordingly
