Instructions for Whitelisting Our Email
 

How to Whitelist Email from AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com
for AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook,
Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Postini & More
 

To ensure that the email we send you ends up in your inbox, and isn't mistakenly sent to the junk folder, please whitelist our email address, which is mail@AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com.
 

Below is information on how to whitelist us with AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, ThunderBird and Postini. Even if your ISP or email program is not listed, with these instructions you should be able to figure out how to whitelist our email address at any ISP or with any email program.
 

Also, if you find email from mail@AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com in your spam or junk folder, please take that opportunity to tell your mail program that it is not spam by hitting the "not spam", "not junk" or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.

Gmail

1.   Add the address to your contacts. Add the email address that is sending you email (e.g., mail@AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com) to your Gmail Contacts. Google will usually deliver email from addresses that are in your Contacts.  This is usually all you need to do.  If this does not work, or if you want another solution, go to #2 below.

2.   Mark messages as Not Spam. If Gmail has marked emails you wish to whitelist as spam, tell Gmail the emails are not spam.

  • In Gmail, navigate to the spam folder.
  • Search for emails containing the domain you wish to whitelist (e.g., AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com).
  • Select all the emails shown.
  • Click More and then Not Spam.

3.  Create a filter for the address to tell Google to whitelist all email from a domain (only try this if options 1 and 2 above do not work).

  • Click the cog icon in the top-right corner, and then Settings
  • Click on Filters and then Create a new filter
  • Enter the domain of the email you want to whitelist in the From field
  • Click Create filter with this search
  • In the box headed When a message arrives that matches this search select Never send it to spam
  • Click the Create filter button

Additional Gmail Tips:

  • Do not enter email addresses in both the From and To fields, as Gmail will only filter in emails that meet both criteria
  • In both the From and To fields, you can enter either a specific email address or an entire domain
  • To enter multiple domains in each field separate them with OR, as in “AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com OR FaveCrafts.com
