How to download pictures manually or automatically in Outlook?

Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2024-07-24

In Microsoft Outlook, images within email messages are not downloaded automatically by default, often leaving you with only the frame of the picture visible. To address this, this guide will explain how to manually download pictures in individual emails and set up Outlook to automatically download images for all incoming messages, ensuring that your emails display fully and as intended.

Step 2: A warning text stays below the sender’s email address, please click the text first, and then click the Download Pictures in the drop-down list.

I'm having the same problem. I have followed the directions for the "Trust Center." It has not worked. I don't have this issue with other laptops on my network. What else can it be?
