Email addresses that contain @albany.edu should not be added to your safe senders list. It is not recommended and can cause erratic behavior.

If you feel all mail from the user's domain (@domain) is safe you may want to choose the option to Never Block Sender's Domain.

  1. In the preview pane for the email whose Sender you wish to add to your Safe senders list, click the extended menu "..." and select Add to Safe senders.

  2. The message will be moved to your Inbox and the sender will be added to your Safe senders and recipients list.
