How to ensure your email service doesn't delete or remove our emails

If you used to receive our emails, but no longer do, and they are not in your spam folder, it is likely that your email provider has "bounced" our emails and reported to us delivery has failed. This happens with some "out-of-office" auto-responders. Please try resubscribing again if you recently used an "out-of-office" auto-responder.

All email services use some type of spam filter to eliminate unwanted emails from your inbox, however, sometimes they make mistakes and eliminate important emails. If you do not see emails from us in your inbox, or they are missing sometimes, your email service has probably moved them to your spam folder.

The best and most reliable method to ensure our emails stay in your inbox, and are not moved or deleted by your email service by mistake, is to:

  1. Whitelist our email address, noreply@ismailidigest.org by adding it to your trusted contacts list and/or address book.
  2. Open your spam folder, and if you find any of our emails there, select them all and report them as "not spam" by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the spam folder or individual email.
  3. If your email service has a "block-list", ensure our email address, noreply@ismailidigest.org, is not on it.

If you are unsure how to accomplish the above 3 tasks with your email service, please follow the specific instructions for your email service or client below.

ABOUT ISMAILI DIGEST
Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites!

Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 10,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content.

In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community can wither or fade (particularly with isolated Jamati members). So we hope the simplicity of Ismaili Digest will change this for you.

Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure.

Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!"

Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish.
