Add Deloitte as a safe sender

Since your internet service provider (ISP) probably use some type of spam filter we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. All also known as whitelisting.

If you do not see an email from Deloitte in your inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs my email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder. Please open your spam folder look for it there, open it and mark it as "not spam"...

Click the link to your ISP or email client to add Deloitte as a safe sender.

  • ISPs: AOL, AOL Web Mail, Yahoo, Hotmail Live, Windows Live and MSN, Gmail, and AT&T.
  • Email Clients: Outlook 2003 (or higher), Mozilla Thunderbird, and Blackberrys.
  • Spam Filters: Norton AntiSpam, McAfee Spamkiller, and Other providers.
  • AOL

    To make sure email gets delivered to your AOL inbox, you must add the email address or corporate domain of the sender to your Address Book or Custom Sender List.

    1. Click the "Spam Controls" link on the lower right side of your inbox screen.
    2. When the "Mail & Spam Controls" box appears, click the "Custom sender list" link.
    3. Choose the "allow email from user@deloitte.com" option.
    4. Add the domain or email address you would like to receive mail from, then click "Add"
