[Hidden-tech] Gmail question

[Everything Computers]

There are two ways to whitelist email addresses, or even web domains, in
Gmail.

One, you should add the email addresses of all the known contacts to yourGoogle
Contacts

list.
Google will almost always deliver messages to your Inbox when the ‘From:’
address of the message is listed in your Google Contacts database.

The other thing you can do is create a manual whitelist in Gmail to ensure
that email messages from certain senders are never ever marked as Spam. You
can in fact whitelist entire domains so that messages from your colleagues
reach your Inbox irrespective of whether you have added them to your Google
Contacts or not.

Here’s how you can whitelist email addresses and domains in Gmail:

*Step 1:* In Gmail, click the “Create a Filter” link which is placed just
next to the search box.

*Step 2:* In the From: field, enter the email addresses, domain names or
even actual names of people who you would like to whitelist. You can
separate multiple entries using OR (in Caps) or with the bar (|) sign.

*Step 3:* Once your filter is ready, click Next and select “Never Send it
to Spam.”

That’s it! Now messages that match the above criteria will always get
delivered to your Inbox and won’t ever be marked as spam.
