FAQs
Why Is Whitelisting Necessary?
In efforts to filter out spam from your inbox, email service providers often send legitimate emails to your spam folder by mistake. Some services delete these emails automatically after 30 days. By whitelisting emails you can be sure the emails you want to see are not discarded.
