Have you ever been told that an email was sent to you, but it hasn't shown up in your inbox? Usually, this means it was filtered by your email account as spam or something it thinks you don't want to see.

If you use Verizon as your email provider, here's what you need to know about the process of whitelisting an email address so you never miss another email, whether it's a new newsletter you've just signed up for (like the awesome MakeUseOf newsletter), or anything else, we've got you covered.

  • Log into your email.
  • Click Options. 
  • Head to the area labeled Block Senders.
  • Navigate section called Safe List. 
  • Enter the domain of the sender you want to whitelist (MakeUseOf.com, Amazon.com, etc.).
  • Click OK.

That's all you need to know! Now, when an email comes in from the whitelisted domain, you'll get it!
