If you’ve ever had important emails go straight to your Junk folder, Outlook’s Safe Senders List is the fix. By adding trusted senders and domains to this list, you make sure their messages always land in your inbox. Here’s how to find, view, and manage your Safe Senders List in Outlook 2016, 2013, and 2010.

1. What is the Safe Senders List in Outlook?

The Safe Senders List is part of Outlook’s built-in spam filter. Any email address or domain you add to this list will never be treated as junk. This is useful if:

  • Emails from your boss, client, or a newsletter keep landing in Junk.
  • You want to whitelist an entire company domain (like @mycompany.com).
  • You need control over which senders bypass Outlook’s spam filter.

2. Where is the Safe Senders List in Outlook 2016, 2013, and 2010?

To find your Safe Senders List:

  1. Open Outlook.
  2. Click the Home tab.
  3. In the Delete group, click Junk → Junk E-mail Options.
  4. Go to the Safe Senders tab.

Here you’ll see all the addresses and domains you’ve marked as safe.

3. How do you add a safe sender email or domain in Outlook?

From the Safe Senders tab:

  • Click Add.
  • Type in the full email address ([email protected]) or just the domain (@example.com).
  • Click OK.

Tip: Adding a domain whitelists everyone from that domain—use it only for trusted companies or organizations.

4. How do you remove an entry from the Safe Senders List in Outlook?

If you’ve added the wrong email or no longer trust a domain:

  1. Go to the Safe Senders tab.
  2. Select the entry you want to remove.
  3. Click Remove.

This puts Outlook’s spam filter back in control for that sender.

5. How do you make sure emails aren’t treated as spam in Outlook?

Adding addresses to the Safe Senders List is the first step, but here are a few more tips:

  • Check your Blocked Senders list—sometimes trusted senders end up there by mistake.
  • Mark emails as “Not Junk” when you find them in your Junk folder. Outlook learns from this.
  • Keep your Safe Senders List up to date, especially if clients change their domains or emails.

Managing your Safe Senders List in Outlook 2016, 2013, or 2010 is the best way to ensure important emails never get lost in spam. By adding trusted addresses and domains—and reviewing your list regularly—you’ll stay in control of your inbox.
