How to stop emails from going to Spam in Gmail

If an important email has gone into Spam in Gmail, do this.

1. When you open the email, look for 3 vertical dots (probably beside 'Reply', but it may depend on what layout you use). Click the 3 vertical dots.



2. Select 'Filter messages like this'.

3. In the screen that opens, the sender's email address probably appears in 'From', but if not, type it there - or enter other details if you wish.



4. Click 'Create filter'.

On the screen shown below...

5. Tick 'Never send it to spam'.

6. Click 'Create filter'.



Due to the havoc caused by a spammer, I've had to delete an email account that I previously used when sending research reports, e-books and mini-guides. My current business address is always on the 'About' page on my website.

Tips on Sending an Email to Multiple People

If you want to send the same email to multiple people, put your address in the To: field, and put all the other addresses in Bcc: (blind carbon copy) so that they are hidden. Do NOT put them in To: or Cc:, where they are visible to everyone else.

Today I received a blank email with 'Test message' as the subject line, and (in 'To:') the names and addresses of about a hundred people whom I don't know. That is a serious breach of privacy - and the sender has also left all of us open to spam. To make matters worse, I am now receiving emails from other recipients, because they used 'Reply to All' instead of just 'Reply'.

Not happy!
