Email is one of the most popular forms of business communications, but managing what is junk versus what is necessary can be difficult. Chances are – you've had necessary communications sent to your junk folder while still receiving junk mail in your inbox. It's a hard balance!
TravelSafe wants to help make sure all of our clients are receiving important emails regarding travel insurance. In order to help ensure proper delivery, you might need to add travelsafe.com and sevencorners.com to your whitelist – also known as an approved or safe sender list.
Together with Affinity IT, an information technology service provider in Pennsylvania, we've put together a list of popular mail clients and how to add TravelSafe to your list of safe senders.
It's important to note that this is simply a guide. Our team is not designed or trained to assist with advanced technological issues. To gather this information, we reached out to a professional IT technician trained in email deliverability. They were able to provide us with information on whitelisting domains for web and desktop email clients.
IMPORTANT: The server that hosts your mail may have junk email filtering settings that block messages before they reach your mailbox. You would need to contact their customer support for assistance with these kinds of issues.
