Are you tired of important emails landing in your spam folder? Whitelisting in Gmail can be the solution to this problem. This process involves adding trusted email addresses to a list, ensuring that their messages go straight to your inbox. Let’s walk through the process of creating a whitelist in Gmail.
Step 1: Log in to your Gmail Account
The first step is to log into your Gmail account. If you don’t have one, it’s quite simple and free to create one. Go to the Gmail home page and click on the “Create account” button to get started.
Step 2: Navigate to the Filters and Blocked Addresses Tab
In your Gmail inbox, click on the Settings icon at the top right corner of the page. This will open a drop-down menu. Click on See all settings. This will take you to the settings page. Next, click on Filters and Blocked Addresses.
Step 3: Creating a New Filter
Click on the Create a new filter link located at the bottom of the page. A dialogue box will appear with various fields. In the “From” field, enter the email address that you would like to whitelist.
Step 4: Whitelisting the Email Address
After you’ve entered the email address, click on Create filter. This will open a new dialogue box with various options. Here, tick the box that says Never send it to Spam. After ensuring this box is ticked, click on Create filter again.
Step 5: Confirming the Whitelisted Email Address
You can confirm that the email address has been whitelisted by going back to Filters and Blocked Addresses. You should see the whitelisted email address in the list of filters. If you ever wish to remove the email from your whitelist, you can do so by clicking on the Delete option next to it.
That’s all there is to it! Now, you have learned how to whitelist in Gmail. It’s a simple but effective way to make sure you never miss important emails again.
