Readers who use Gmail sometimes complain that they have signed up for VTDigger’s Daily Digger, but they aren’t receiving their free email subscription.

Many readers are not aware that Gmail automatically sets up tabs for all users that filter email into three major categories: primary, social and promotions.

VTDigger, like other email subscription services, often winds up under the “promotion” tab.

Changing your Gmail filtering system is easy. Just go to the settings gear symbol in the upper righthand corner of the screen and select “Settings.”

When you get to the “Settings” page, choose “Primary” as your default. This allows all of your email to be combined into one inbox.

Here’s a screenshot of the page. Hope this helps, and thanks for reading!
