How To Whitelist Avery Hart

With unsolicited and unwanted email becoming a larger problem, email services have made their spam filters more stringent. Unfortunately, these tougher guidelines for filtering can cause my emails to be mistaken as spam. To make sure you continue receiving all of the awesome spiritual learning tools from Avery Hart, we suggest that you follow the instructions below and add us to your whitelist.

Here are whitelisting instructions for some of the major email service providers. The minimum we suggest you do is to add the ‘from’ email address (hello@averyhart.co) into your email system’s address book.

Please insert the From address you are whitelisting for hello@averyhart.co using the instructions below:

AOL

Add the “From address” you want to receive mailings from to your AOL address book:

  1. Click the “Mail Options” menu and select “Address Book”.

  2. Inside the “Address Book” window, click the “Add” button.

  3. Inside the “Address Card for New Contact” window cut and paste username@domain.com into the “Other E-Mail” field.

  4. Make our From address the “Primary E-Mail” address by checking the associated check box to the right of it.

  5. Click the “Save” button.

If the mailing is in your SPAM Folder, you can open the email and click the “This Is Not Spam” button.

Gmail

Add the From address you want to receive mailings from to your Gmail Contacts List:

  1. Click “Contacts” along the left side of any Gmail page.

  4. Click “Save”.

If the mailing is in your SPAM folder, check the box next to the mailing and click the “Not Spam” button along the top.

If the mailing is in your “Junk E-Mail Folder”, open the email and click the “Not Junk” button.

You should also check that the mailing’s email address is not in your Blocked Senders list.  You can find your Blocked Senders list by following the directions above and going to “Blocked Senders List” instead of “Safe List”.  If you see the mailing’s from address on this list, select it and click the Remove button.

  • Select Actions | Junk E-mail | Junk E-mail Options… from the menu in Outlook.

  • Go to the Safe Senders tab.

  • Click Add….

  • Type the email address or domain name you want to whitelist.

    • To add a single address, type “heinz@example.com”, for example.

    • To add a complete domain, type “example.com”, for example.

    • To make sure sub-domains are not automatically whitelisted when you add a domain, include the ‘@’ sign: “@example.com”, for example. In this case, mail from “heinz@heinz.example.com” will not be whitelisted.

  • Click OK.

  • Click OK again.

If you already have a message from the sender you want to add to the Safe Senderslist in your Outlook Inbox (or the Junk E-mail folder, of course), the procedure is even easier:

Others

The most common way to whitelist an address is to add it to your address book, white list, or safe list.  There is no universal way to whitelist an address, so if this is not an option, you will have to consult the help section associated with your email application.  They should have instructions on how to whitelist an address there.
