New website - Emails going to Junk mail folder

    I am working on a new website. When I send an email (to my gmail account) from that website's web mail all the emails automatically go into my Junk mail folder.

    I have tried this previously with different web hosting and website web mail and it worked perfectly arriving in my inbox as expected.

    I never usually check my Junk mail. How come this is happening? Is it bad hosting? Any possible solutions?

    Tick the mail in the Junk Folder, click where it says Not Spam.

    Thanks, but with my previous websites, when I have had the web mail it didn't get sent to the Junk mail folder by default. As I said earlier that may have been due to having a different hosting company. I don't want people to have to search their junk mail to look for mail from me.

    It might be just your account, create a new Gmail account and email it from your new hosting site and see what folder it goes to.

    I happens with all Gmail accounts I try. I've just tried 2 more. Is my sending server blacklisted?

    I think gmail flags anything that appears to come from a webserver as spam

    I just tried my other server hosted by Siteground. It worked fine and got sent straight into the Gmail inbox.

    There is a user called deadl0ck (i think) and he was having the exact same problem with emails. I think he managed to sort it so it might be worth pm'n him. His site was game swap ireland if you cant find him on here
