About This Feature

Overview

Add Whitelist or Blacklist for Read Messages is a mail management feature in WPS on macOS that lets you add email addresses or domains to an allow list or a block list. It helps reduce unwanted messages and keeps important mail from being treated as junk.

Core capabilities include:

Add the current sender to the blacklist directly from the message list so future messages go to the Junk folder.
Add a blacklist entry manually in Mail Settings with either an email address or a domain.
Add a whitelist entry manually in Mail Settings so messages from trusted senders are not treated as junk.

This feature is useful for organizing frequent incoming mail, reducing promotional email interruptions, and making sure important contacts can reach your inbox.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports adding email addresses or domains to a whitelist or blacklist. It also supports a quick right-click entry from the message list, and whitelist messages are not treated as junk.	Outlook for Mac supports Safe Senders and Blocked Senders. Users can add an email address or domain and can also block a sender from the inbox.	Gmail supports blocking a sender so future messages go to Spam. To keep valid mail out of Spam, users can add the sender to contacts or create a filter.	Notion Mail supports a sender allowlist for notifications, so selected senders can always trigger alerts. Its official help does not describe a junk-mail whitelist and blacklist workflow for inbox filtering.	Adobe Acrobat Sign mainly documents how recipients can add Adobe Sign sender addresses to a safe list so notification emails are delivered. Its official help does not describe a user-managed whitelist and blacklist workflow for general inbox rules.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines whitelist rules, blacklist rules, domain-level entries, and a quick message-list entry in one workflow for everyday inbox management.	Compared with WPS: Outlook also supports allow and block lists, but its official flow is centered on Junk Email Preferences in Outlook for Mac.	Compared with WPS: Gmail supports sender blocking, while trusted-sender handling is more dependent on contacts or filters instead of one paired whitelist and blacklist setup.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail is focused on notification priority by sender rather than full junk-mail whitelist and blacklist management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe guidance is focused on making Adobe system emails deliver correctly, not on two-way sender list management for regular incoming mail.

Overall Conclusion
If you want one place to manage whitelist entries, blacklist entries, and domain-based rules, WPS provides a more concentrated workflow. Other products can cover part of the same need, but their official guidance is often narrower in scope or aimed at a different mail-management goal.
