Add Email to Safe Sender List

How to Ensure Specific Emails Reach Your Inbox in Outlook

- Follow these step-by-step instructions to add email addresses to the "Safe Senders" list and prevent them from being flagged as spam.

[New OutLook]

Step 1: Open Outlook Settings

Click the gear icon in the top right corner.
Select View all Outlook settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

Step 2: Navigate to Junk Email Settings

In the Settings menu, click Mail > Junk Email.

Step 3: Add Safe Senders

Under the Safe Senders and Domains section, click Add.

Type the email address or domain you want to allow, such as name@example.com or @example.com.
Click Save when done.

[Classic Outlook]

To add people to your Safe Senders List on Classic Outlook, do the following:

On the Home tab, in the Delete group, select Block Sender (or it might say Junk), and then select Junk E-mail Options.
On the Safe Senders tab, check the Automatically add people e-mail to the Safe Senders List box.

Tips to Remember

1. Whitelist Entire Domains

If you want to allow all emails from a company, enter just the domain (e.g., @example.com) in the Safe Senders list.

2. Check Your Contacts

Ensure your contacts are automatically treated as safe by enabling the appropriate setting in Junk Email settings.

3. Manage Blocked Senders

If you accidentally block a legitimate sender:
- Go back to Junk Email settings.
- Find the email address under the Blocked Senders section and click Remove.
