To whitelist an email address in Hotmail, navigate to the Safe Senders list within your Hotmail settings. You can add the specific email address or the entire domain to ensure emails from that source bypass the spam filter and land directly in your inbox, according to TaxCaddy and Microsoft Learn. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Access Settings: Log in to your Hotmail (Outlook.com) account and click the “Settings” (gear icon) in the top right corner, then select “View all Outlook settings” at the bottom. [3, 4, 6, 7, 8]
- Navigate to Junk Email: Go to “Mail” then “Junk email” in the settings menu. [4, 6]
- Add to Safe Senders: Find the “Safe senders and domains” section and click “Add”. [4, 6, 7]
- Enter the Email/Domain: Type in the specific email address or domain you want to whitelist (e.g., example@example.com or @example.com). [1, 4, 6]
- Save Changes: Click “Save” to confirm the changes. [4, 6, 9]
Additionally, if an email from the desired sender has already landed in your junk folder, you can mark it as “Not junk” or “Not spam” to train the filter for future emails, according to Whitelist Guide. [2, 4]
