How To Unblock Emails On Outlook May 2026

Lena loved her morning routine: coffee, a blueberry muffin, and the "Daily Whimsy" newsletter. It was a silly little email full of bad puns and cat photos, sent by her friend Zoe.

She didn’t want this to happen again. So she typed @dailywhimsy.com into the "Safe senders and domains" box and clicked "Add."

She clicked the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of Outlook. A sidebar slid out. At the very bottom, she clicked "View all Outlook settings."

The next morning, no puns. No cats. Just radio silence.

The next morning, her inbox pinged.

But one chaotic Tuesday, after a spam attack from a shoe store, Lena got trigger-happy with the "Block" button. By accident, she blocked everything from the domain "@dailywhimsy.com".
