Home Test Kits – Email Whitelist

Some times our emails can get hidden away in your mailbox, or filtered to your junk folder. We send our Home Test Kit owners notification when their kit(s) is registered, received in our lab, and when results are ready for viewing. To improve deliverability, whitelisting allows you to add us to a “safe senders list” guaranteeing a spot in your inbox.

Here are instructions for the common email providers:

Google Gmail

Gmail will filter our email to the Promotions tab most of the time. It might also be misidentified as spam, and appear in that folder. To whitelist a contact, adding their email addresses into your contact list will do the trick.

  1. Open the email sent to you by the contact you wish to label as safe. Be sure to check the Promotions folder, and Spam folder.
  2. Click on More Options (three vertical dots) in the upper right-hand corner of the email.
  3. Click on Add testkitscs@slabinc.com to Contacts List.
  4. A notification saying ‘The sender has been added to your contacts list’ should appear at the bottom of the screen.

In case you wish to include an email that has been marked as spam, you will first have to Report Not Spam and then proceed with these four steps. You can also move a conversation from Promotions to Primary and Gmail will apply this to future messages.

Yahoo! Mail

  1. Open the email sent to you, and copy the email address (Right-mouse click then Copy), and make sure you check your Spam folder.
  2. Click the Contacts icon located in the upper right-hand corner of your Yahoo! Mail Inbox Homepage. When you hover over the first icon, it should say ‘Contacts’.
  3. Click ‘Add a new contact’ located below the list of your contacts.
  4. Fill in the contact details, and use testkitscs@slabinc.com for email.
  5. Click Save.
