for AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook,

To ensure that the email we send you ends up in your inbox, and isn’t mistakenly sent to the junk folder, please add our email address, support@raeandryan.com, to your contacts list.
Below is information on how to whitelist us with AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, ThunderBird and Postini. Even if your ISP or email program is not listed, with these instructions you should be able to figure out how to whitelist our email address at any ISP or with any email program.
Also, if you find email from support@raeandryan.com in your spam or junk folder, please take that opportunity to tell your mail program that it is not spam by hitting the “not spam”, “not junk” or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.

Gmail

Specifically for Gmail users, email filters are very strict and even the best emails get sorted away and you never see them if you only check your inbox.

How to whitelist our emails in your Gmail:

First:
– If our emails are going to your promotions tab, then simply drag our email over to your Inbox (labeled as the primary tab in tab view) and let go.
A message should pop up at the bottom and ask if you would like to do this for future emails from this sender. If so, please choose yes!
and/or
-If you find emails from us in your Gmail spam folder, open our email and click the “Not Spam” button.
Second:
1.  Right-click any email that you have received from us and open it in a new tab and keep this tab open for instructions.
-Then click on the 3 little vertical dots next to the left-facing “Reply” arrow at the top right of that email.
*If you clicked “not spam” on an email, that email should have moved to your inbox as well.
2. Click “Add Rae&Ryan’s Gourmet Foods/support@raeandryan.com to “Contacts list”
3. Again,  click on the 3 little vertical dots next to the left-facing “Reply” arrow at the top right.
-The third or fourth option down will be to: “Filter messages like this” Click that and a window will pop up.
– Make sure the “From:” field says “Support@raeandryan.com“, (If not, type it in), if so then just click “Create Filter”.
4. On the next menu page, check the box that says “Never send to spam” and the next to last checkbox has an option for “Categorize as” with a drop-down menu.
    – From the drop-down menu, choose “Primary”. After you have done that just click “Create Filter”
Moving forward all emails from support@raeandryan.com will go directly to your inbox and not be subject to being filtered to other tabs or junk email.
