I have had too many emails bounce back to me lately and then too many people getting upset because they think I haven't answered their emails.. Our policy is to answer every email personally within 24 hours or quicker, except on the weekends when it may take upto 48 hours.. It is only Simon and I running this site :-) Yahoo has beenabig culprut for this recently, so I have listed here how you 'white list' an email address.. If you want to receive a personal reply from me then you really should do this.. Most of the popular emails programs are covered.. If you have any questions you can contact me via email (after you have done this :-)), try and catch me on the quick chat or leave me a message on skype :-) My email address:
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
You may be getting email from me, but that me the bulk email I sent out which is different and not treated the same by your email program :-) Michelle This is from my bulk email provider (aweber) to help me help you :-) How Do I Whitelist an Address?
To help guide you, here are examples of how individuals can whitelist your address in different email programs:
Mozilla Thunderbird By default, Thunderbird will not mark your messages as junk if you are in your subscriber's Address book.
Thunderbird users can check their settings at Tools > Junk Mail Controls:
To add you to their address book, subscribers should create a New Address Book Card under File > New...
Yahoo Mail (Old Version) Yahoo users should create a filter to direct all messages from you to their inbox.
To do this, they:
- Click on the Options link on the right side of the page.
- Click the Filters link that appears to the right.
- Click the Add link.
- To the right of the from contains line, enter your email address and click Add Filter.
Yahoo Mail (New Version) Users of the new Yahoo Mail should also create a filter.
Yahoo currently redirects you to the old Yahoo Mail interface to set up the filter, but in the future should integrate the Add Filter page directly into the new interface.
Hotmail Hotmail uses a "Safe List" that your subscribers should add you to:
- Click the Options link on the right side of the interface.
- Choose Mail from the left side of the Options page.
- Click Junk E-Mail Protection.
- Click Safe List.
- Type the sender's email address into the box and click Add.
Windows Live Hotmail Not surprisingly, Windows Live Hotmail works similarly to the old Hotmail:
- Click the Options link at right and choose More Options from the dropdown.
- Choose Allowed and Blocked Senders.
- Click Allowed Senders.
- Type the sender's email address and click Add to List.
GMail GMail will automatically deliver mail from a user's Contacts list to the inbox.
To add a contact:
- Click the Contacts link at left.
- Near the top of the page click Create Contact.
- Enter the contact's name and email address, and click Save.
AOL Webmail AOL has a "Custom Sender List" that users can specify.
However, to use the Custom Sender List, users must choose to accept mail ONLY from their custom senders, or to reject mail ONLY from their custom senders.
So, you need to make sure they are set to receive mail from All Senders:
- Click the Settings link at the top of the page.
- Choose Spam Controls from the options at left.
- Under Additional Spam Filters click Control From Whom I Get Email.
- A popup appears - choose the first option (Allow mail from all senders).
- Click the green Save button.
If they are already using a Custom Sender list to define who can mail them, you'll want to make sure they put you on it.
