Adding an Email Address to your Safe Sender’s List


How to Add an Email Address to your Safe Sender’s List

An increasing number of e-mail clients (Outlook, AOL, Hotmail, etc.) are including spam blockers that can affect delivery and display of some e-mail messages. This means that sometimes those desired e-mail communications might not reach you, or they might be displayed without images.

To ensure that you continue receiving your e-mail or your subscriptions, and that they display properly, we recommend adding the email address or domain to your list of safe senders. Here are some instructions to help you do that:

  2. Right-click in the message and select “Add the Sender to Safe Senders List”.
  3. Go to Tools on the menu bar. Select “Options” in the pull-down menu. Under “Preferences”, select “Junk E-mail”. Then click on the “Safe Sender” tab. Click the “Add” button. Type the email address of the sender in the text box.
