The validation email might have been flagged as spam by your email system. Check your spam folder. If you have not received it, you can request another validation email after 30 minutes.
If you have a Gmail account, here's what you can do to prevent future UFT emails from being marked as spam:
- Go to your Gmail mailbox
- Go to the left column where it says Inbox, Starred, Drafts, etc. and find "More" (in dropdown menu)
- Under More, they will then find the Spam folder
- Right click on any email from noreply [at] uft [dot] org (noreply[at]uft[dot]org) and mark as "Not Spam"
If you have a Yahoo email address, click on the Spam folder. Find emails from noreply [at] uft [dot] org (noreply[at]uft[dot]org) and click the "Not Spam" button. For other email providers, check their rules for unblocking or whitelisting email.
Please note: you must use a personal email address, not a work, school or DOE-related email address, on the UFT website.
