Have you checked your Spam Folder?"},"content":{"rendered":"

When was the last time you checked your spam or junk email folder?<\/p>\n

Email service providers’ spam filters are very good but occasionally they can send legitimate emails to your spam folder.<\/p>\n

It’s a good idea to regularly check your spam folder if you don’t want to\u00a0miss important emails that may have been sent to spam by mistake.<\/p>\n

Here are our tips:<\/p>\n

Change your Spam folder to show (if it is hidden)<\/h3>\n

By default, the Spam folder is hidden when a Gmail or Google account is set up.<\/p>\n

Changing your Gmail spam folder to Show<\/strong>\u00a0makes it easier to monitor how many spam emails you receive and check your spam folder.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to show your spam folder is to use the Gmail Settings page as follows:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Click on Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Click<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Click on the Labels <\/strong>tab.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/a><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Click on Show<\/strong> next to the Spam label<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0When you look at your menu items you should now see the Spam label above the More drop-down menu.<\/p>\n

\"Spam<\/a><\/p>\n

Regularly check your spam folder<\/h3>\n

Make it a habit to regularly check your spam folder (which, depending on the software used, may also be called the junk email folder).<\/p>\n

Once you’ve established a habit of checking your spam folder, you’ll quickly work out how often you need to check it.<\/p>\n

Mark any legitimate email as\u00a0Not Spam<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spam filters learn by what you spam and mark it as Not Spam. \u00a0Marking an email as Not Spam (or Not Junk) moves the email from the spam folder and will help prevent future emails from the same person from being marked as spam.<\/p>\n

Here is how it is done:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Click on your Spam<\/strong> label (or Junk Email folder).<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0This reveals the emails that have been sent to spam.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Select the email(s) that aren’t spam by clicking on the check box next to the sender’s name.\u00a0\u00a0\"Select<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Click on Not Spam<\/strong> to move the email(s) back to your inbox.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Select all other\u00a0spam emails and\u00a0mark them <\/strong><\/span>as Read<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This makes it easier to monitor for new emails in your spam folder.<\/p>\n

\"Mark<\/p>\n

Check Spam Folders in All your email accounts<\/h3>\n

Remember to log into your original email service provider account if you forward emails to another account.<\/p>\n

For example, I forward my Google apps account to my personal email account. \u00a0Emails sent to the spam folder of my Google Apps account aren’t forwarded to my personal email account.<\/p>\n

Filters on Educational Email Domains<\/h3>\n

If you can’t find an email you were expecting in your spam folder it’s either been sent to the wrong email address by mistake or it’s being blocked by your email domain.<\/p>\n

Filters on educational email domains, and some parent’s business email accounts, are more likely to block or spam legitimate emails than web-based email service providers like Gmail.<\/p>\n

Student email domains are most likely to block emails.<\/p>\n

If emails are blocked you either need to request the sender’s email domain be whitelisted by your IT Department or use an alternative web-based email account.<\/p>\n
