How to properly add onlinecoursesupport@thomashuebl.com to your contacts?
It is important that you add “onlinecoursesupport@thomashuebl.com” to your email client’s contact list so that you can assure yourself of receiving all course communications. Many people use handy applications like Outlook or Mac Mail to manage email correspondence more efficiently, but adding contacts to these types of applications does not guarantee prevention of filtering.

I'm not receiving emails about the course. What can I do?
This usually happens because your email application is classifying our messages as spam. If you see your messages in your Spam or Junk folder, then that’s what’s happening. To help prevent this from recurring, you should add our email address, onlinecoursesupport@thomashuebl.com, to your email contacts lists.* Your email application may also allow you to click on a message in your Spam folder and designate it as not spam.

If this doesn’t work, here are a few other things you can try. Please note that on our side we can only confirm that we have sent you an email. There are many connection points between us and you, all of which are out of our control. We can only advise you about things that are known to be helpful.
If you are using an email client application: If you are using a program on your computer like Mac Mail or Microsoft Outlook, you will need to log directly into your email account via a browser to check the Junk or Spam folder there. For example, if you have a Gmail account and use Mac Mail, you cannot see what Gmail has filtered out as Spam because it will not be displayed in Mac Mail. You will need to log directly into your Gmail account and look at it there.
Check your email account limits: If your email account has limits on the amount of email or storage space, and if you exceed those limits, you may not be able to receive new incoming messages. Check your email account to make sure you are not exceeding any limits.
Blocking by your ISP: We have seen a few rare cases where an ISP (Internet Service Provider) has blocked our message because they have received too many spam reports. If you’re not seeing our messages anywhere, contact your ISP and ask if they are blocking emails from our domain (thomashuebl.com). If they are and you request that it be unblocked the ISP may not honor your request.4. Try a different email address: If the steps above don’t resolve the problem, you may need to use a different email address, one with a different domain name. Email us with the new address if you’d like to do that.
