2.23. Password reset and account activation emails not working or going to SPAM
Issue:
Emails from our organization are not being received or are going to SPAM and you cannot activate the links.
Details:
Gmail based (and potentially other major mail providers) sometimes identify the emails from our organization as SPAM. When this happens, it can "strip" the important links we provide to item such as; Product Downloads, Password Resets, and the "I Give Permission" Link. If you encounter this issue, please see the solution below for assistance.
Solution:
1. In your webmail view (I.E. www.gmail.com or your school webmail site) check your SPAM folder.
2. If you see an email from us (customerservice@kurzweiledu.com or tech@kurzweiledu.com) open this email in your SPAM folder.
3. You should see an option that states "Report not Spam" on a gray banner at the top of your screen - click on this.
4. The email should now move to your Inbox, and the links should now work. If you find the links still do not work, process another password reset request here: https://www.kurzweil3000.com/forgotpassword - When the second reset request comes in, it should come in normally to your inbox and the links should be operable. If you are looking for a different type of email that is not a password reset request, please contact us so that we can send you another email after these steps are taken in order to resolve.

Alternate Solution (Gmail):
With Gmail, you can prevent this from happening by adding EMAIL FILTERS. This will help you to explicitly make a sender, or even with the use of keywords, to put filtered emails to your INBOX.
Note: If this does not move an email you already have from us from SPAM to the Inbox, please process another password reset request after making this filter and it should come in as expected after you create this filter.
How to set Gmail Spam Filter:
1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click the GEAR icon at the top right and then click SETTINGS.
3. Go to FILTERS AND BLOCKED ADDRESSES and click CREATE A NEW FILTER.
4. In the FROM section, type the email address (customerservice@kurzweiledu.com) of the sender that you want to keep out of your Spam Folder.
5. Click CREATE FILTER.
6. Check NEVER SEND IT TO SPAM and ALSO APPLY FILTER TO MATCHING MESSAGES boxes.
7. Click CREATE FILTER again.
