How do I ensure that I receive all email notifications?


We love getting mail too! Just A Pinch uses a valid/real e-mail server to send notifications and updates via e-mail.

Unfortunately, sometimes e-mails from us can get caught-up and be sent to junk/spam folders. And it's not always easy figure out why.

In order to make sure that every e-mail from www.justapinch.com reaches you, you can "whitelist" (or mark as "safe") members@email.justapinch.com in your e-mail application. It's easy!
