How to Whitelist an Author’s Email Address
When you subscribe to an author’s newsletter, the emails can sometimes end up in your spam folder. If this happens, you miss out on their new releases, discounts, special offers and their latest news. To ensure your favourite authors’ newsletters arrive in your regular email folder, you must whitelist their email addresses. This means adding each author’s address to your contact list or otherwise informing your email service that the authors’ emails are not spam.
Find your email service below and follow the instructions.
