How to Keep Certain Emails Out of Your Junk Folder

How to Add a Sender to the Safe Senders List in Microsoft Outlook

Add known senders to the Safe Senders list to ensure that their email will not go to your Junk E-mail folder.

This feature works the same in all modern versions of Microsoft Outlook: 2010, 2013, and 2016.

1. On the Ribbon, from the Home tab, in the Delete group, select Junk.

3. Select the Safe Senders tab.

4. Click Add.

   • 
6. Click OK.
   • 
7. In the Junk E-mail Options dialog box, click Apply to save your changes. Emails from this sender will now be prevented from automatically going to your Junk E-mail folder.
