Check SPAM / JUNK & Add Us to “Safe Sender” List

CHECKING YOUR SPAM / JUNK MAIL FOLDERS

Due to unsolicited and unwanted email becoming a larger problem, your email provider will sometimes send emails to your SPAM / JUNK folder if it is unfamiliar with the sending email address. If you have recently requested emails from us and don’t see them in your inbox, they could have gone to your SPAM / JUNK folder. Follow the steps below to find our emails and be sure to Whitelist us or add us to your “Safe Sender” list.

When you look in your SPAM / JUNK folder for our emails, you’ll look for our sending email address, which is: memberservices@egiainfo.com

MSN Hotmail, Outlook.com, Live.com

  • Log in to the webmail version of your email account HERE
  • To check your Junk Folder, simply click the Junk folder link on the left

    • Yahoo! Mail

  • Log in to the webmail version of your email account HERE
  • To check your Spam Folder, simply click the Spam folder on the left. (You may need to click ‘more’ to see it)

    • AOL Mail

    The Spam Folder uses special icons to indicate each message type, such as e-mail from bulk senders or e-mail from people you don’t know. It also displays the date the e-mail was received, the sender’s e-mail address, and the e-mail’s subject line.

    To check the spam folder:

  • Sign on to the AOL® webmail service HERE
  • Click the Mail menu, then click Spam Folder
  • Your Spam Folder will open and display a list of any messages designated as spam

    • AOL Help on Spam, Privacy and Whitelisting

    Gmail

  • Log into your Gmail webmail account HERE
  • If the Spam folder does not appear on the left, click the “more” option just above contacts
  • Select Spam to view messages in the spam folder

    • Note: Gmail’s spam filters also work in your IMAP client by automatically diverting messages that are suspected of being unwanted messages into ‘[Gmail]/Spam’ and keeping them out of your inbox. Sometimes it’s easier to find the offending email by searching for it using the search box at the top of the screen.

    Apple me.com, iCloud.com, mac.com

  • Log into your iCloud webmail account HERE
  • Select Junk/Spam to view messages in the spam folder

    Whitelisting a sender will make sure that messages from a specific email address are always sent to your email inbox.
