I have checked my junk settings on all my emails. It says to allow emails from senders in my Address book. Now, all of a sudden, I am getting Warning messages saying emails are a scam from senders I have used for a long time. Why is this and how do I fix it, please?

scam warnings have no white list. They are generally triggered in a false positive way by unscrupulous vendors and their advertisers who want to track your reading and clicking on the mail. (my definition of unscrupulous and your might differ, because my list includes amazon and other big names. It is none of their business if I read their mail.)
