• Open Gmail and go to your spam folder on the left sidebar.

• Find the email you want to add to your safe list.

• Open the email and click Not spam at the top of the email. The email will be moved to your inbox and marked as safe.

• To ensure all emails from this sender stay in your inbox, create a filter:

1. Click on the gear icon (Settings) in the top right and select See all settings.

2. Go to the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab and select Create a new filter.

3. Enter the sender's email address in the From field, then click Create filter.

2. Select Add to contacts and enter the sender's details.

3. Click Save to add them to your Yahoo Contacts.
