Add a Contact to the Safe Senders List in Outlook
To get started, launch Outlook and from the ribbon, click on the More commands button (three dots) at the upper-right corner of the toolbar. Then go to Junk > Junk E-mail Options from the menu that pops up.
Next, the Junk Email Options dialog will open. Click on the “Safe Senders” tab and click the Add button on the right.
Now, type in the trusted domain or full email address of the contact you don’t want to go directly into the Spam folder. Click OK.
It’s also worth noting that on this screen, you might want to check the “Also trust email from my Contacts” and “Automatically add people I email to the Safe Senders List” options and click OK. Using those options makes sure that contacts you already trust are added to the Safe Senders List and shouldn’t ever end up in the Spam folder by mistake.
That’s all there is to it. Now the people you add manually should no longer go into the Spam or Junk folders, and you’ll have no excuses on why you didn’t get their emails.
