Add OCSEA to Your Email 'Safe List' or Personal Address Book

Now that you've signed up with OCSEA, you'll be receiving our bi-weekly New Directions email newsletter. To ensure delivery of OCSEA union news, you will want to add the OCSEA email address to your email browser's safe list or address book.

If you are not sure how to add an address to your email safe list, check with your email service provider.

Refer to the following instructions, if you are using:

The email domain address for all OCSEA E-Action Alerts is:
OCSEA.org

Note when you add a "domain" such as OCSEA.org, you will be allowing all email sent from OCSEA E-Action Center and Staff to be delivered to your in-box.


Hotmail

To ensure that OCSEA's OCSEA E-Action Alert is not sent to your Hotmail Junk E-Mail folder, you can add the newsletter email address or domain (A domain is the portion of the e-mail address that comes after @ -- e.g. @ OCSEA.org) to your Hotmail Safe List.

  1. Go to the Options page. (upper right of screen)
  2. On the left side of the page, click Mail, and then click Junk E-Mail Protection.
  3. Click on Safe List.
  4. Type an address or domain (a domain is the part of an e-mail address that follows the @ sign) from which you always want to receive messages, and then click Add.
  5. Click OK.

AOL 7, 8

To ensure that you receive your OCSEA emails, place an email ID in your AOL 'Address Book'. Here's how:

  • Go to Keyword Mail Controls
  • Select the screen name to which the newsletter is sent (e.g. "HomeBiz Tip E-Mag")
  • Now choose 'Customize Mail Controls' For This Screen Name
  • For AOL 7.0, include in the section, "exclusion and inclusion parameters", the domains from which OCSEA E-Action News email is sent: OCSEA.org
  • For AOL 8.0, choose "Allow mail from AOL Members and addresses listed"
  • Type: OCSEA.org
  • Click Add.
  • Choose "Ok" displayed at the bottom.

AOL 9.0

The best way to ensure that you will receive your OCSEA E-Action News email is to place an email ID in your "Person I know" buddy list. All mail you receive from this email ID will pass through the filters. So, make sure that when you join for a newsletter, it is ADDED to your buddy list.

Yahoo

Yahoo mail uses combination of bulk mail folders and filters. If you are not receiving your OCSEA E-Action News emails, check your “Bulk Mail,” locate the filtered OCSEA E-Action Alert, and choose "this is not Spam," next to the "From" field.
Or to create filter for your OCSEA E-Action Alert:
In Yahoo mail, click the "Mail Options" link on the top-right navigation bar, and then choose "Filters" located on the left side of the page, under the Spam column.
To create a new filter, click the "Add Filter" link on the Filters page.

  • Choose the field you want to match in the incoming message. For example, select the one of the following headers: From, To/Cc, Subject, or Body to match.
  • Choose the criterion by which you want a match to be made. For example: contains, ends with.
  • Enter the text string to compare. For example: @ocsea.org
  • Choose the destination folder to which you would like the message delivered. For example: OCSEA E-Action Alerts. Note you can create a folder by selecting [new folder].
  • If you have more than one filter, you'll also see "up" and "down" arrows to the right of the filter list. Use these buttons to select the placement of your new filter within your existing sequence of filters. Filter order is important because Filter 1 will be the first filter applied to an incoming message, Filter 2 will be the next, and so on until a match is made or all filters are passed. If no filters match an incoming message, it will be delivered to your inbox.

Be sure to click the "Add Filter" button to put your new filter into effect, after you've selected a folder in which to file the e-mail.
