Mark Heschel as a Safe Sender!

Getting all future emails from a sender to appear in the “Primary” tab (instead of “Promotions”, or elsewhere) is a quick, two-step process. First of all, drag-and-drop the email message from beneath the tab it’s currently filed under, to the “Primary” tab:

If you do not see the "Primary" tab you can follow the directions below.

1. On your computer, open Gmail.
2. At the top right, click Settings   See all settings.
3. Click the Inbox tab.
4. In the "Inbox type" section, select Default. Note: To hide all tabs, select another inbox type.
5. In the "Categories" section, check the boxes of tabs you want to show. Note: You can't make new tabs; you can only show or hide existing ones.
6. Scroll to the bottom, then click Save Changes.
7. Drag and drop the message into the tab.

 

 

Gmail on mobile devices doesn’t provide a way to prioritize messages. However, touching “Show images” then “Always show images from Sender” will ensure that images always display in the inbox:

 

On Android devices, open the email message and touch the picture of the sender that displays before the message. Tap “Add to Contacts.”

In the preview pane for an opened email message in AOL Mail, select the sender’s From name under the email’s subject line and select “Add Contact” from the drop-down menu:

After opening an email message in Outlook, an alert message should display with, “Parts of this message have been blocked for your safety.” Beneath this, click the link with, “I trust sender@theirdomain.com. Always show content:”
 

When opening an email message in Yahoo, a “+” symbol should display next to From: and the sender’s name. Select this and an “Add to contacts” pop-up should appear. Select “Save:”

 

Both Apple Mail on OSX and Mail on iOS devices have a similar process for adding senders to Contacts. By selecting the From, or Reply-to on an email message, you can choose to “Add to Contacts” or “Add to VIPs.”
