Hi jimbro22,


I suggest whitelisting your email addresses.


How do I whitelist emails addresses in Apple Mail?


To whitelist an email address in Apple Mail, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Apple Mail and go to the "Mail" menu.
  2. Click on "Preferences" and then select the "Rules" tab.
  3. Click on the "+" button to create a new rule.
  4. In the "If" section, select "Any Recipient" from the drop-down menu.
  5. In the "Contains" field, enter the email address that you want to whitelist.
  6. In the "Perform the following actions" section, choose "Move Message" from the drop-down menu and then select the mailbox where you want the email to be moved to (presumably your inbox).
  7. Click on "OK" to save the rule.


From now on, any emails that are sent to you from the specified email address will be automatically moved to the mailbox that you selected, and will not be treated as spam.
