PSA: Forum notification emails might be in Spam folder
« on: August 26, 2020, 02:11:58 PM »
I rarely check my gmail spam folder, and was surprised to see quite a few forum notification emails in there. Not sure what Gmail's algorithm is because I did get a few notifications in my Inbox.

Anyway, it might not be a bad idea to check your Spam folder, and if you see those, mark them "Not Spam" so hopefully Gmail will not be too confused in the future, although there is no guarantee there and it's out of anyone's control.
Inch by inch, I will get there.

Despite me already having marked previous notifications "Not Spam", the new one still showed up in Spam.

I give up. Out of my control. Hope it doesn't happen to everyone, but still, check your Spam folder from time to time. Who knows. Maybe other non-spam emails end up there too.

After having missed some PM and user registration notifications because they went to Spam, I decided to look for a solution. Posting here in case other gmail users have the same problem.

One can set a specific email filter to prevent emails from "do-not-reply@mudncrud.com" from going into Spam folder because gmail allows a filter action "Never send it to Spam".

For step by step instructions, one can refer to this: https://www.jotform.com/help/404-how-to-prevent-emails-from-landing-in-gmails-spam-folder

Inch by inch, I will get there.
