Not just G-mails; I use hotmail (outlook), and all e-mails from Yahoo and AOL end up in my spam folder. I have tried everything possible to stop this from happening to no avail, but I see now that this isn't specific to just me, or the configuration of my mail.

(I'm not the most technical person, so feel free to correct imprecisions or add better suggestions) It feels like a blast from the past, but it turns out there's still a fair amount of Yahoo/AOL users that are part of our community.
Just a fair warning: as has been known for a while now (at least 2013 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58414), yahoo (and AOL?) emails through mailman lists are often treated as spam by gmail email recipients.
This has gotten worse: I understand Yahoo may have blacklisted lists.wikimedia.org altogether, and emails are bouncing. I noticed for some 50-100 email Yahoo and AOL addresses on the Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list that they bounced back, and eventually got automatically unsubscribed.
So if you or a friend has a Yahoo or AOL email address - you/they may be at risk of being unsubscribed from (some?) Wikimedia mailing lists without notification. The only 'fix' that you can do, that I'm aware of, is slowly moving to a different provider, if you want to be active on these lists.
The issue is being tracked without much visible activity here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232417 (there may be more relevant tickets).
