How do I get important e-mails that were filed into my junk mail box?

A way to get important emails out of your junk mailbox and back into your inbox is to set up a rule. In most e-mail applications when it's in your junk mailbox, you can right click and designate it as “safe sender”, which means the sender of this e-mail is safe and so it can go to my inbox. Most e-mail applications allow you to do this and get your important e-mails out of your junk mail, or if they don't you can add that person to your contacts. If they're in your contacts, it's generally a signal to the e-mail that it's a safe person and this will keep your important e-mails out of your junk mail box.
