Save a Place for Sun in Your Address Book

As the fight against spam continues, legitimate emails are being intercepted by ISP mail filters as well as filters in local email clients. Sun applauds the fight against spam, but we want to ensure that subscribers to Sun newsletters and programs receive the content they've requested.

One quick and easy way to prevent inadvertent filtering is to save the sender's address to your address book. Below you can find directions on how to do this for most major email services. We recommend that you take a moment to add addresses for each Sun email newsletter or program to which you are subscribed.

Note: For some company-based email systems this method may not guarantee your receipt of Sun emails. Talk to your IT services if you're concerned about not receiving emails from Sun.

Select email client for quick directions:

• AOL 9
• Earthlink
• Gmail
• Hotmail
• MSN 8 or 9
• Outlook 2003
• Outlook 2007
• Yahoo
