It’s pretty easy and straightforward to add an email address to your “safe senders list” in Gmail. This article is up-to-date as of 2025.
- (1) Go to https://mail.google.com/ and click the “Contacts” icon on the right-hand side. It may take a couple seconds to load depending on your internet speed.
- (2) You will likely see a screen that says “No contacts yet”. Click the blue “Create contact” button.
If you already have created some contacts on another device, the button will likely appear in a different part of the side panel.
- (3) Add a company name (or a first/last name) for your contact, then type in the email you’d like to add to your safe senders list. Press the “Save” button to finish adding the contact to your safe senders list.
And it’s that simple! You should now reliably receive any emails from the provided email address. You can repeat this process as many times as you’d like to add more email addresses to your safe senders list.
