Spam filters are a great timesaver, automatically assigning suspect emails to the junk mail folder. However it can work against you when it starts junking emails you actually want to read. A lot of email programs actually delete your junk mail automatically after a certain number of days so those valuable emails you missed could be gone forever. There's also the time involved in sifting through hundreds of spam emails to find those few you wanted to keep.
The way to enjoy the benefits of a spam filter while not missing the emails you actually need to read is by doing something known as whitelisting.
Whitelisting a sender makes sure that you always get emails from that person and it is never treated as spam. Never worry that you will miss out on something important again!
How to whitelist a sender
