To ensure you receive my emails, and they don’t get placed in your spam/junk folder, there is something that you can do called ‘whitelist’ your emails. Basically, a whitelist is a list of accepted e-mail addresses or domain names which the spam filter will allow messages to be received from. Spam filters are great and really are needed these days, but sometimes they get carried away and need a little guidance!
Please add nicola@nicolasemple.com to your whitelist to ensure you don’t miss any of my emails.
Of course, every email system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn’t here, please contact your ISP’s customer service folks for their instructions (forward the answer to me if you don’t mind, and I’ll add it!).
