All my notifications from the Forum, and from Philip Carr-Gomm keep going into Gmail spam, even though I report them 'not spam'. Any ideas please?

This happens to my notifications with my icloud account. I know there's a way to add the sending email address to my contacts and that'll remedy it, but I'm being lazy right now. Look into that: add the email to your contacts and see if that sorts out the problem.

Thanks Malazoth, I have added both to my contacts, will see if it works now!
I wasnt sure how to do at first it but wandered round my emails a bit, finally clicked on the senders email address then found the +person symbol.

Well, I tried it but the latest reply was still in spam. The mystery continues.

I think the issue maybe with the email server settings for the forum, Google have tightened up the security settings I think and this is causing them to route to spam.
Have a look at this https://www.jotform.com/help/404-how-to ... am-folder/ it may help.

Well, that’s depressing. It probably takes a computer science degree to figure it out now. I wish Google’s AI would get smarter and realize by the third “This is not spam” marker, you really do mean “This is not spam.”

SPAM!


I am sorry, but when I see this topic has new posts I think of Monty Python. Still a classic after all those years.

Already done that, no difference. At least I know where to look for all my OBOD stuff :-)
