How to Add an Email to Your Safe List

How many important emails end up in your SPAM folder – too many I’m sure. SPAM filters are great for keeping all the junk out of your inbox but sadly it often filters out the important emails too. So the best thing to do is add the emails you want to receive to your safe list.

Here is a list of the most commonly used email programs with easy to follow instructions on how to add email addresses to your Safe List. 

Add either the From Address that the email you received came from OR add the domain @womensbusiness.club to your Address Book or Contacts. Your Safe Senders List is managed by you and can be easily updated based on your preferences.  By default, email messages that you add to your address book are automatically considered safe and will not be re-routed to your junk email folder.
