What does it mean to whitelist an email?
Whitelisting is simply the process of adding an email to an approved sender list so emails from that sender will always show up in your inbox.
By adding Sweet Red Poppy to your whitelist, it will ensure you receive all of my emails, downloads and free patterns. Doing this will guarantee that you will easily be able to find them because they will be in your inbox, NOT stuffed in some random spam, junk or promotions folder.
Whitelisting is a very simple process, but it can take a few tries if you’ve never done it. The process can be slightly different for different email providers but I’ve simplified this task for you to make it as easy as possible with the most common email providers.
So, let’s get started, shall we?
In the Gmail web app:
- Open up to your gmail account and hover over an email I sent you.
- While you are hovering, a selection box will appear.
- Click on, the little icon that looks like a head with a + sign and it will add me to your contacts.
In the Yahoo web app:
- Open up to your yahoo email account and select an email that I sent you. Please note, that Yahoo often marks a lot of emails as spam. If you don’t see my email in your inbox, check your spam folder. (If the email is in your spam folder, select the email. Near the top of the screen, then select the button, ‘Restore to Inbox’ then go to your inbox and repeat step 1.)
- Once my email is selected, click on the meatball menu on the upper right. The meatball menu looks like this: …
- The meatball menu will bring up a drop down menu. Select ‘Add Sender to Contacts’.
- A side menu will open. Enter “Kim” in the senders first name, then select save.
Of course there are many other email providers. If I didn’t outline the one you use, I found a website that explains how to whitelist numerous email providers that can help you here: https://www.whitelist.guide/
I am happy to be a part of your encouragement and have used your ideas. Life brings changes and keep me in the loop but I don’t see or sew as much as I want to . Thanks for everything. I will continue to read your article and make
how do you do that in outlook? When I save email it just adds it to my phone contact
Hi Kimberly
So happy to find you !! For the past 5 years I was heavy into crafting and painting, but it was time for a switch. And since my grandson and wife are expecting their 2nd little one I thought of making a quilt ( I made one 8 years ago ) for the baby but I bought a new sewing machine and it’s a bit complicated. Sooooo seeing your web page I was excited about sewing again. I downloaded the bib, and it’s a start ….
Thanks and I will be seeing you on the tube.

Hi and I'm happy to have found your group. I too, had 3 young children but in 4 years instead of 3. I was also a stay at home mom who found sewing both to be creative and a life saver for my sanity. 14 years after my last child I had my 4th 3 years latr I had my first grand child.. with in one year my husband had major surgery. My oldest daughter was an a car accident lost my favorite aunt and sisterinlaw and my mother in law had major health issues. Sewing was my saving grace. But I too needed to reach out to others who might be going to a very difficult time. So I started. A quilting group making prayer quilts for cancer patients. Reaching out with the hope I was just easing someone else's pain was my saving grace. I appreciate. You wanting to help others too. God bless you!
