Using Gmail - create a safelist
To ensure you don’t miss out on emails from Â鶹ÊÓƵAlumni, you can add us to a Gmail Safe List (preventing emails going to spam) in a few steps. Here are some instructions we found that you may find helpful.
Steps to Safelist an email address in Gmail
- Open Settings: Log in to Gmail on a desktop, click the gear icon (top-right), and select See all settings.
- Navigate to Filters: Click the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab.
- Create Filter: Click Create a new filter.
- Specify Sender: In the "From" field, type the specific email address (e.g., alumni@sfu.ca) or an entire domain (e.g., @sfu.ca) to safelist.
- Apply Safe Action: Click Create filter.
- Ensure Delivery: Check the box for Never send it to Spam. You can also select "Always mark it as important".
- Finalize: Click Create filter.
Using Hotmail/Outlook - Create a Whitelist
To ensure you don’t miss out on emails from Â鶹ÊÓƵAlumni, you can create a whitelist (a safe senders list) in a few steps. Here are some instructions we found that you may find helpful.
Method 1: Via Settings (Web Browser)
- Sign in to your Outlook.com or Hotmail account.
- Click the Settings cog icon in the top-right corner.
- Select View all Outlook settings at the bottom (if necessary).
- Go to Mail > Junk email.
- Under the Safe senders and domains section, click + Add.
- Enter the email address (e.g., alumni@sfu.ca) or the entire domain (e.g., @sfu.ca) you wish to whitelist.
- Press Enter and click Save.
Method 2: Marking Existing Emails as Safe
- Open your Junk Email folder.
- Find the email from the sender you want to whitelist.
- Right-click the email and select Mark as not junk or Not Junk.
- Alternatively, open the email and click the I trust link in the yellow alert bar, or click Mark as safe next to the sender's name.
Tips for Effective Whitelisting
- Whitelist Domains: To allow all emails from a company, enter just the domain (e.g., sfu.ca or @sfu.ca).
- Check Blocked List: Make sure the sender is not in your Blocked senders list, which takes precedence over the safe list.
- Add to Contacts: Adding a sender to your Outlook Contacts often acts as a whitelist.
Using Yahoo - creating a whitelist

- Mark "Not Spam": If the email is in the Spam folder, open it and click the Not Spam button at the top.

- Click Settings (gear icon) and select More Settings.
- Go to Filters and click Add new filters.
- Name the filter and enter the sender's email address or domain (e.g., @sfu.ca) in the "From" field.
