Whitelisting an email in outlook
Whitelisting an email in Outlook refers to adding an email address or domain to your "Safe Senders" or "Allowed Senders" list, which allows emails from that address or domain to bypass your spam filter and be delivered to your inbox. Here's how to whitelist an email in Outlook:
Method 1: Whitelist an email address
- Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab.
- Click on the "Junk" button in the "Delete" group.
- Select "Junk Email Options" from the dropdown menu.
- In the "Junk Email Options" window, click on the "Safe Senders" tab.
- Click on "Add" and enter the email address you want to whitelist.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Method 2: Whitelist a domain
- Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab.
- Click on the "Junk" button in the "Delete" group.
- Select "Junk Email Options" from the dropdown menu.
- In the "Junk Email Options" window, click on the "Safe Senders" tab.
- Click on "Add" and enter the domain name (e.g., @example.com) you want to whitelist.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Method 3: Whitelist an email address using the Outlook address book
- Open Outlook and go to the "Contacts" folder.
- Right-click on an existing contact or create a new one.
- Select "Properties" from the context menu.
- In the "Contact Properties" window, click on the "Email Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Add" and enter the email address you want to whitelist.
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
Tips:
- Make sure to whitelist the exact email address or domain you want to receive emails from, including any subdomains (e.g., @subdomain.example.com).
- If you're using Outlook.com, you can also whitelist an email address by clicking on the "Not junk" button in the email header.
- Whitelisting an email address or domain does not guarantee that all emails from that address or domain will be delivered to your inbox. Your email provider's spam filter may still flag some emails as spam.
By whitelisting an email address or domain in Outlook, you can help ensure that important emails from that address or domain are delivered to your inbox and not marked as spam.
