Since your email service provider probably uses some type of spam filter, I ask that you add me to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. All also known as “whitelisting.”

If you do not see an email from John Mosley in your Inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs my email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder. Please open your spam folder look for it there, open it and mark it as “not spam”

Click the link to your provider (web based or cloud based services like Gmail and Yahoo etc) or email client (software that is running on your machine, such as Outlook or Thunderbird) to easily whitelist my email address help@lgbtcomputergeek.co.uk from John Mosley.

 

Adding such trusted email addresses to your whitelist so that they can pass easily through your spam filter or junk folder varies across the different email providers, clients and internet security platforms.

Because systems change over time, I’ve updated the whitelisting instructions I did a couple of years ago of the most commonly used email services.

 

Email Service Providers

>–Gmail–>
>–Gmail Tabs–>
>–AOL Webmail–>

Email Clients

Your email client or spam filter not listed?

If John Mosley is being filtered, try adding help@lgbtcomputergeek.co.uk to your Address Book or Contact list.

If messages continue to be sent to your junk folder contact your ISP or spam filter application support and ask how to whitelist help@lgbtcomputergeek.co.uk (or any other email address that you want to whitelist).

Trend Micro

If you received an email message that was incorrectly moved to the Spam Mail folder by the Anti-Spam Toolbar you can prevent this from occurring in the future.

The Anti-Spam Toolbar detects spam by looking for certain keywords in the email’s subject or body and matching it with the anti-spam pattern file. Occasionally, it may detect what you consider legitimate email as spam.

To prevent this from occurring you can do either of the following:

      1. Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders
      2. Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

Note: You can also select the email and click Not Spam to report it to Trend Micro. However, this feature serves only as a reference when they develop their spam database, and it may not have an effect on how the tool bar detects spam.

Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders

      1. Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
      2. Click the Spam Mail folder then select the legitimate email detected as spam.
      3. Click Approve Sender on the toolbar.
      4. Click Yes when the confirmation message appears.

Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

      1. Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
      2. Click Trend Micro Anti-Spam then click Settings.
      3. On the Spam Filter tab, move the slider bar to select a lower filter strength.
      4. Click OK to save your settings.
