Whitelisting in gmail

Whitelisting in Gmail refers to the process of adding specific senders or domains to a list of trusted senders, allowing their emails to bypass spam filters and land directly in your inbox. Here's how to whitelist senders in Gmail:

Method 1: Whitelist a sender using the "Not spam" button

1. Open your Gmail inbox and find an email from the sender you want to whitelist.
2. Click on the three vertical dots next to the "Reply" button.
3. Select "Not spam" from the dropdown menu.
4. Gmail will add the sender to your "Whitelisted senders" list.

Method 2: Whitelist a sender using the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" settings

1. Log in to your Gmail account and click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
4. Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
5. Enter the sender's email address or domain in the "From" field.
6. Click on the "Create filter" button.
7. Select "Never send it to spam" and click on the "Create" button.

Method 3: Whitelist a domain using the "Allow" button

1. Open your Gmail inbox and find an email from the domain you want to whitelist.
2. Click on the three vertical dots next to the "Reply" button.
3. Select "Allow" from the dropdown menu.
4. Gmail will add the domain to your "Whitelisted domains" list.

Tips and Variations

• You can also whitelist senders using the Gmail mobile app by following similar steps.
• If you're using Gmail's "Priority Inbox" feature, you may need to whitelist senders separately for each label (e.g., "Primary", "Social", etc.).
• Whitelisting a sender or domain only applies to that specific email address or domain, not to all emails from that sender or domain.
• If you're experiencing issues with a specific sender or domain, you may need to report them as spam or block them instead of whitelisting them.

By whitelisting senders in Gmail, you can ensure that important emails from trusted sources reach your inbox without being flagged as spam.
