Follow the guidance below to whitelist E-Democracy.org with AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, MSN/Hotmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, RCN, ThunderBird and Postini.
Even if your ISP or email program is not listed, with these instructions you should be able to figure out how to whitelist our email address [domain?] at any ISP or with any email program.
Also, if you find email from forums.e-democracy.org in your spam or junk folder, please take that opportunity to tell your mail program that it is not spam by hitting the "not spam," "not junk" or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.
If you have been unverified on E-Democracy and are no longer receiving forum messages, you can reverify your account by following these instructions. We recommend you do this after you have whitelisted our domain.
