Gmail to keep a senders email from going to SPAM

With newer algorithms and processes with email servers using technologies such as SPF records etc sometimes out-race the capability on legacy email servers. So you might need to setup your gmail to allow or whitelist some of your contacts that send you email.

This is how its done:

1. Login to your gmail account and got to settings by selecting the gear icon at the top left corner of the main gmail panel.

2. Select Filters from the menu at the top of the gmail panel.

3. Select Create New Filter at the bottom of the filters panel.

4. A dialog window will popup, in the "From: textbox start typing the email of the contacts address you want to whitelist

5. Select "Create a filter with this search"

6. The next page of the dialog will show. Now select the checkbox for  Never send this to spam.

Viola you have now whitelisted your contacts emails. Repeat as necessary to add more contacts to whitelist.
