YouMail Drop Box
Overview
If your YouMail Drop Box voicemails are being delivered to the Spam folder instead of your Inbox, it is usually because the sender isn't recognized as a trusted contact. To prevent this, you must add trusted senders to your YouMail Contacts.
How YouMail processes Dropbox voicemails
When YouMail receives a voicemail email with an audio attachment, it processes the message based on the sender’s email address.
If the sender is not in your Contacts
If the sender’s email address is not saved in your YouMail Contacts:
The audio attachment is converted into a voicemail
The voicemail is delivered to the Spam folder
Future messages from this sender will continue going to Spam
To fix this:
Add the sender’s email address to your YouMail Contacts
Move the voicemail from Spam to the Inbox
Once added, future voicemails from this sender will go directly to your Inbox.
