If you've noticed you're not receiving important GloveBox emails related to secure pins/training/product updates, it's possible that your email service is either quarantining them or directing them to your spam/junk folder.

Now, popular email services like Outlook and Gmail are designed to shield you from spam, scams, and phishing attempts by filtering incoming emails.

Whitelisting ensures that emails from those sources always land in your inbox rather than being quarantined.
Below, we've provided instructions on how to whitelist GloveBox's email address for Gmail and Outlook users.
