emails marked not spam still going into spam folder

Sometimes Xfinity will think an email is spam when it is not.  So I just mark it as Not Spam.   But that doesn't work any more.   My health care provider Kaiser Permanete for example.  I used to get email from them in my Inbox.  Now they go to Spam.  I mark it as Not Spam but it still gets sent there.  Other examples as well.  Is this a know issue?  Are you working on it?

Hi user_dt0k10! Thanks for visiting our Xfinity Forum about this email concern. I am sorry to hear that some of your important emails are being sent to the Spam folder. I know that can be frustrating. My team is here to help! 

 

How are you accessing your email?  On the web portal [connect.xfinity.com] or by a third party app?

Thank you for confirming that for me, user_dt0k10! If emails marked as "Not Spam" continue to go into the Spam folder, it may be due to the sender's email provider being flagged as spam by Xfinity's filters. Marking an email as "Not Spam" moves it back to your inbox, but it does not automatically block future emails from that sender. To prevent future emails from going to Spam, consider setting up an email filter to block the sender or domain. This will help ensure that legitimate emails are not misclassified as spam in the future. Please follow this link https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/spam-filters-and-email-blocking-new-experience for more information on how to set up email filtering and how to block the sender or domain. 

 

I hope this helps!

How would using a filter to block the sender "prevent future emails from going to Spam"? Worse, filters only work on messages delivered to the Inbox, not to the Spam folder.

@user_dt0k10: You might try following the instructions in https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/email/how-to-prevent-email-from-going-to-the-spam-folder/602dafffc5375f08cd1ec7b9.

I do not want to block my health care provider, sender or domain.  For many years I have been receiving emails from them with no issue.  Now they go to Spam.  I have not added an email filter to block them.   Per the second response I have added their email to my Address Book.  We'll see.

Having my Health Providers name & email address in our Xfinity Address Book does not stop their emails from going directly into the Spam folder.  How do I correct this issue?

user_dt0k10 To prevent emails from your health provider from going to the spam folder, ensure that their email address in your Xfinity Address Book matches exactly, including any spaces or punctuation. Additionally, if you access your email through third-party clients (like Outlook or Thunderbird), check their settings, as they may have their own filters that could affect email delivery. Lastly, review your email rules to ensure they aren't inadvertently moving the emails to spam.
