What do these email newsletter services do to prevent their e-mails from going to spam folders?

How do you prevent your email going directly into someone's spam folder?

  • I was writing a draft of an email, and I sent it from my yahoo account to my googlemail account, to see if it showed up with the intended format (ie paragraphs etc rather than being one block of text) and it ended up in my spam folder in my googlemail account! I obviously dont want my email to go into the person who I am sending it to's spam folder, so they know I have emailed them, is there any way to prevent this? (In addition, I would be most grateful if you could tell me to prevent format changes upon sending- I had written the email in yahoo in safari then opened it in yahoo in Firefox and the formatting disappeared! I understand that sending it in "rich text" will stop formatting from disappearing rather than plain text, however, unlike my google account, it is not clear how to switch from one to another via the toolbar). Thanks!

  • Answer:

    With emailing to one of my friends, he didn't have me in his address book... I reminded him to add me. Then, I make sure that the subject isn't just a word or two. Common, and short subjects get "filtered out" a lot more. So, write a subject that says something. Oh, and if your email is formatted as Rich type text (or some phrase like that) instead of "text only" then the format is SUPPOSED to stay the same. Good luck

You sent it to yourself. Doh!? Check your own spam filter settings this is probably why it ended up in your own spam folder.

Right click on the email and then put ''this is not spam'' good luck

Most anti-spam software can be set to block and/or accept email from others. The highest level is very restrictive. Most have a spam-block of whoever is NOT in your address book. Check to see if your blocking level is set too high. Check to make sure that all "suspect spam" can be reviewed by you before deletion. I actually ended up retrieving some email from Yahoo Answers because I had not okayed its delivery. Mistakes happen. Also, sometimes the formatting is pre-set in the emails you send, unless you change it under preferences. I think it has to do with allowing recipients to accept different formats. Check it out with your Internet Service Provider.
