Occupy Gmail: tell Google you want our email!

Do you subscribe to our newsletter via a gmail account? If so, you might be wondering why you didn't get our sale announcement email yesterday. Well, that's because for some reason Google has decided you don't want to see our emails. Despite our best efforts to send you a bit of inbox joy and to only send email to people who open our email, our emails this week have been landing in the spam box on Google.

Fortunately for us all, Google's actually pretty democratic about this kind of thing. We can all help fix this without sleeping in parks or occupying squares. All you need to do is the following:

- in gmail, search for: in:anywhere threadless
- in the list of emails, look for those that are tagged as "spam" and select them (or click into one)
- click the "move to inbox" button



You're done! You've just helped ensure you'll get future emails from us and that other subscribers are more likely to get theirs too.

Of course, we'd also value your feedback on our email. Drop a comment here or you can email me personally at cam@threadless.com if you want to comment offline.

I think since I already have the newsletter's email address as my contacts, I was able to get the sales announcement yesterday.

Not Spam since it says that they're unmarked as spam and moved to the Inbox, rather than just moved.

Sigh.

"Probably quicker to just search 'in:spam threadless.' I also usually do 'More -- Not Spam' since it says they're unmarked as spam and moved to the Inbox, rather than just moved.

Just a heads up, using the word "FREE" in a subject line has a serious effect on whether messages get tagged as spam or not.
