Email mistakenly being sent to Spam folder

I get mail from the Dallas Retired Fire Fighters Association and, just recently, they have been going to my spam folder.  I have never clicked on them and marked them as spam and I have continually gone to the spam folder and marked them as not spam, but this keeps happening.  I have checked with some other members and it appears that the ones that have AT&T or yahoo are all having the same problem.  The messages are sent out by the DRFFA through constant contact and this has never been a problem before.  I have made sure the sender and the current senders email address are in my contacts but that hasn't made a difference.

Hi @rfergusn

 

We hear you, and we're here to help get your emails routed to the correct folder.

 

If you aren't already, we suggest using Currently to access your email. Since it's supported by AT&T, doing so can help to eliminate several problems, such as your emails being routed to the wrong folder. 

 

We also recommend that you use your email settings to create filters to send particular emails to your inbox, spam, or other folders. Here's what to do:

  1. Select the gear.
  2.  and then More Settings.
  3. Choose Filters.
  4. Select Add to create a filter.
  5. Enter the conditions for your filter and then select Save.

If those steps don't work right away, you may need to try clearing your browser's cache and cookies. This can help to refresh your browser and potentially allow those changes to your email to be recognized. 

 

In addition to that, we've got a great Login and Email Solutions guide that's filled with more troubleshooting options. 

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thank you for contacting AT&T Community & Forums,

Maria, AT&T Community Specialist.

Well, Maria, if the customer's client is doing that routing, I suppose.  But that's not usually why it's happening.

I do use currently as my email client.  When trying to set up a filter, it doesn't give the option of moving the email to the inbox, which is where it always used to be.  That way I can see it with all my new emails.  I still don't understand why the emails that always went to this folder automatically (for years) are now being classified as spam.
