  2. Add FIRE to your contacts

Welcome-list instructions by service provider

Gmail 

  • Gmail may mistakenly send a message from us to your spam box. If this happens, open your spam box and the message from us. At the top of the email there should be a button that says “Not Spam.” Clicking that will make sure you continue to get our messages in your inbox. 
  • If that doesn’t work, you can try the following: 
  • Open Gmail, click the Settings icon from the menu → Settings. 
  • Click Filters and Blocked Addresses → Create a new filter. 
  • In the “From” field, add either the email address you want to welcome-list or the domain. For example, fire@thefire.org.
  • Click Create filter then select “Never send it to Spam.” 
  • Click Create filter again to finish the process.

  • In the “Delete” group, click Junk → Junk E-mail Options.
