Most email service providers include some form of junk, spam, or bulk-mail filtering built into the email account. These filters are typically helpful in preventing unwanted emails from reaching your email inbox or from allowing links to be opened if deemed suspicious. Occasionally, these filters can be a bit overzealous.

The email filters "see" our incoming email notifications and links and assume the messages are unsolicited emails. As a result, it often prevents emails from arriving in your email inbox or prevents links from opening.

How can I stop emails from going to spam and allow email links to open?

In nearly every case, your IT department needs to make a small change to your company's email and spam filtering settings. Without performing these changes, the emails will often be marked as unsolicited bulk or spam emails.

Follow the steps in this article to allowlist to better support email deliverability.

Option 2. Mark the incoming emails as "not junk" or "not spam"

Suppose the emails still aren't arriving in your email inbox after your IT made the changes recommended above. In that case, your email account may have previously marked the emails as bulk messaging or spam.

When your account is marking things as junk, you'll need to reverse those changes. Below we've provided the most common email providers, but the steps are typically quite similar for other providers as well.

Option 3: Check your email applications

Some email providers mark messages or parts of their content as spam or junk.

Options one or two shown usually sorts things out—if you've read this far, that's likely not the case. While option two may seem like it would fix it, that's not always the case. This spam filtering functionality is built into the email provider—not the account. Therefore, we recommend checking these settings on your devices as well.
