Receiving Emails from Chorley Marlins

The recent training cancellations due to technical problems at All Seasons demonstrated how important it is that members receive emails the Club sends out. We are aware that some people are not always receiving them due to going into Spam or the Promotions tab. 

We would like to encourage you to download the Swim Manager app and enable push notifications. For urgent messages we send out a Swim Manager Alert which will appear on your phone as a notification. You can also view previous messages within Swim Manager.

To make sure that Chorley Marlins emails reliably land in your inbox and don’t get junked, you can whitelist our email addresses. To whitelist an email address just means you add them to your approved senders list. This tells your email client that you know this sender and trust them, which will keep emails from Chorley Marlins at the top of your inbox and out of the junk folder.

Whitelisting is a quick, one-time-only task to add our email address to your address book or safe senders list. Usually, all you need to do is open an email message and verify the sender can be trusted. 

These are the main email addresses we use:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Here are simple instructions on how to ensure that future emails get delivered straight to the inbox, in some of the most popular email clients:

How to Whitelist an Email in Gmail

If you’re using Gmail as your email provider, it’s easy to set things up so that a given sender is whitelisted for all future communications. The Gmail whitelist process can be done quickly through the web client:

1. Click the settings button (in the top-right corner of the screen), then select “Settings” from the resulting drop-down menu.
2. Navigate to the tab labeled “Filtered and Blocked Addresses” to access information about your existing filters.
3. Select “Create a new filter” and enter the emails or domains you want to whitelist. To whitelist a single email address, for example, type the entire address. On the other hand, if you’re trying to whitelist every sender from a certain domain, type the domain alone, such as @chorleymarlins.org.uk and @clubs.swimmanager.co.uk. This will tell Gmail to approve every message from a Chorley Marlins sender.
4. Click “Create filter” to approve the new filter, then mark “Never send to Spam” to whitelist every email within the filter. You can also choose to Star these emails, apply a given label, or mark them as important.

Whitelisting in Gmail mobile app

1. Open the Gmail application.
2. Navigate to Spam or Junk Folder.
3. Click on the message you wish to view.
4. Select the option "Report not spam".
5. You will now receive messages from this sender as normal.

How to Whitelist an Email in Outlook

Whitelisting a domain or specific email address in Outlook.com is just as easy and works by adding the address or domain in question to a group called “safe senders”. An address that has been added to safe senders will be pushed to your inbox regardless of your spam filters. To add an address or domain to safe senders:

1. Click on “Settings”, then “View all Outlook settings”.
2. Go to “Junk email”, then choose “Safe senders and domains” or “Safe mailing lists” to select the domain or email you want to whitelist.
3. Enter the domain name or email address you wish to add to Safe senders. Make sure to include the @ character for domain names in order to only whitelist emails with the exact string of characters you entered (and nothing more). @chorleymarlins.org.uk and @clubs.swimmanager.co.uk.

Alternatively, you can simply add an individual email address that has sent you a message to your Outlook Contacts. Though they lead to the same result, this method is quicker and more efficient than manually entering information.

​

2. Click on the message that you want to whitelist.
3. Click on the three dots in the top right corner.
4. Click "Move to focused inbox".

How to Whitelist an Email in Yahoo Mail

If you want to move a sender or domain name to your whitelist Yahoo Mail, the process is even easier than it is in the other service providers mentioned above.

As long as you have already received at least one message from the address in question, all you have to do is highlight that message in the Bulk folder and mark it as Not Spam. Once you have identified a single message from a given sender, the Yahoo Mail spam filters will automatically allow future messages from the same address into your inbox.

On the other hand, if the person you’re attempting to whitelist hasn’t yet sent you a message, you’ll need to go through the following steps to whitelist the address:

1. Navigate to "Settings" icon, then click "More Settings" from the Yahoo Mail menu.
2. Select "Filters" and hit "Add" to enter information about the domain name or sender.
3. From here, you can enter any string of text you want to whitelist in future emails. This could be anything from an email address or domain name to something you expect to be in the body of the message.

Yahoo Mail makes it much easier to whitelist a domain name or email sender once they’ve already sent a message to you that’s located in your Bulk folder, so consider asking the person you’re trying to whitelist to send you a test email in advance.

Whitelisting in Yahoo Mail mobile app

1. Open Yahoo Mail Mobile App.
2. Click on the sidebar.
3. Click on the Spam folder.
4. Find the email you wish to whitelist.
5. Click "Move" and then click "Inbox".

3. Click the New Contact icon and enter the required information.
