How To Whitelist An Email Address
Whitelisting an email in Gmail is quick and effortless, ensuring you never miss an important message. By adding an email address to your trusted contacts, Gmail will prioritize those messages and keep them out of your spam or promotions folder. It only takes a few steps, and once it’s done, you’ll always stay connected and up to date with valuable insights, tips, and updates sent directly to your inbox.
Steps
Step 1: Log into your account
Step 2: From the main screen, hit the gear in the top right hand corner of the screen.
Step 3: A dropdown menu will appear
Step 4: Select see all settings.
Step 5: Another screen will appear, select create new filter, and enter the necessary information to create the filter. This will prevent gmail from sending a spam from a specific user from being filtered into the spam folder. It is also worth it to note, that if you just select anyone from a domain: IE yahoo.com, gmail will not filter any emails from the yahoo domain.
Google: Mobile App
Whitelisting an email on the gmail app is even easier.

Outlook
Whitelisting an email in Outlook might take a few more steps, but it’s worth it to ensure you don’t miss any important messages. By marking an email address as safe, Outlook prioritizes those emails and keeps them out of your junk folder. While the process may involve navigating through settings, once it’s set up, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ll always receive valuable updates and insights directly in your inbox.
Steps
Step 1: Whitelisting an email cannot be done through 365 app version, to my knowledge it can only be done through the mobile app and the web app. So go to outlook.com and make sure that you are signed int.
Step 2: From the main page, hit the gear button on the top right corner of the screen.
Step 3: when the screen popup appears, navigate to mail>junk mail and enter your filter in.
