In today’s post I’m going to show exactly how to whitelist support@ninjashark.com.au so they don’t get sent to spam.


And I’m going to show you how to do it on ALL major email apps.


Click the desktop or mobile email app you use below for detailed instructions on how to whitelist using that app.


Mobile (Tablet/Phone) Email Apps


Desktop (Mac/PC) Email Apps

MOBILE (TABLET/PHONE) EMAIL APPS


If you’re using a smartphone or tablet, here’s how to whitelist an email address on the most common mobile email apps.

GMAIL


In the Gmail app, you have two options:


  1. Report an email as “not spam” (if the email is in spam).
  2. Move an email from the promotional inbox to the primary inbox.


If an email is ending up in your spam folder, open the email and click Report not spam. 


You can also tap the three dots in the upper right corner and click Mark important to give it priority in your inbox (shown in the video below).

To move an email from the promotional folder to your primary inbox, open the email and tap the three dots in the upper right corner, then tap Move to > Primary.

APPLE MAIL


Apple Mail doesn’t have the option to whitelist like some other email providers do. Instead, all you can do is mark something as “Not Junk” and it will be sent to your inbox.

Here’s how:


  1. Open your Mail app and go to the Mailboxes screen.
  2. Select the Junk folder.
  3. Find the email you want to whitelist and swipe left to see options.
  4. Tap the More button.
  5. Tap the Mark button.
  6. Tap the Mark as Not Junk button.

YAHOO


To add an email address to your mobile Yahoo! Mail contacts (and ensure delivery), follow these steps:


  1. Tap the hamburger menu (three stacked lines) in the top left.
  2. Tap Settings and scroll down to Filters.
  3. Select the email account you want to add a filter for.
  4. Tap the + icon to add a new filter.
  5. Name it anything you want (such as “Whitelist”), then either:
    - Add the exact email you want to whitelist ( support@ninjashark.com.au) OR;
    - Add the @ninjashark.com.au you want to whitelist to get deliveries from every email at that domain.
  6. Click the ✓ icon in the top right to save the filter.

OUTLOOK MOBILE


On Outlook mobile, you can add senders to your focused inbox to ensure delivery of their emails. Here’s how:


  1. Open the email you want to whitelist.
  2. Tap the three dots in the top right of the screen (not the dots inside the email).
  3. Tap Move to Focused Inbox.
  4. In the popup box, tap the radius button for “Move this and all future messages” then tap MOVE TO FOLDER.

DESKTOP (MAC/PC) EMAIL APPS


GMAIL


There are three ways to whitelist emails using Gmail:


  1. Gmail tabs
  2. Marking an email as “not spam”
  3. Creating a filter

If you’re using Gmail tabs (Promotional and Social), click and drag the email you want to whitelist from the tab it’s in to the Primary tab, like so:

Once done, you’ll get an alert saying “This conversation has been moved to Primary. Do this for all future messages from support@ninjashark.com.au?” Click Yes.


If the email is already in your spam folder, mark it as “not spam”. Open the email in your spam folder that you want to whitelist, then click Report not spam.


Finally, if an email is already in your primary folder but you want to make sure all emails from this sender always end up there, you can create a filter. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click the cog icon in the top-right corner, and then Settings from the drop-down menu.
  2. Click the Filters tab then Create a new filter.
  3. Enter the domain of the email you want to whitelist in the From field.
  4. Click Create filter with this search.
  5. In the box titled When a message arrives that matches this search select Never send it to spam.
  6. Click the Create filter button.
