Make sure to add me to your contact list or move me from that pesky little "promotions" folder to your "primary" folder.
And in the event that any of my emails ended up in GASP... your SPAM folder... you'll want to make sure to mark me as "Not Spam" and move me on over to that coveted Primary folder I mentioned before.
Doing all this ensures we can keep in touch.
I would love for you to consider me a pen pal. For me, this isn't just a one way exchange, this is a way for us to connect and grow community.
Here's how...
How to move senders to your Gmail Primary tab:
- Drag the email from your Promotions tab to your Primary tab

You can also whitelist in Gmail before opening the email: Just hover over the sender’s name next to the subject line and select “Add to contacts” to save to your Contacts list.
- Open the email in your inbox

How to whitelist on iPhone:
- Tap the sender's from name
- Choose "Create New Contact"
