|
110 Outlook Express - Pictures Don't Show in the Emails You Send
The first thing you have to establish is whether the problem is really at your end or at the receivers end.
| Create an E-Mail test and Insert a Picture... into the text field. |
| Send the E-Mail test to yourself. |
| Left click on the Send/Recv |
| Open the E-Mail test from your Inbox |
| Check your ISP webmail |
| What do you see? |
If no picture is seen, repeat the procedure above except, use the Insert a File Attachment... and select any suitable picture for this test.
| Send the E-Mail test to yourself. |
| Left click on the Send/Recv |
| Open the E-Mail test from your Inbox |
| Open the File Attachment |
| Check your ISP webmail |
| What do you see? |
When your E-Mail window opens
|
Do you see the message Some pictures have been blocked etc...
|
|
If the message is from a reliable source AND you have an Anti Virus checker, proceed to left Click here to download pictures.
|
Possibly, your OE security options are blocking images from appearing
| Open Outlook Express |
| Left click on Tools |
| Select Options |
When the Options window opens
| Select the Security tab |
| Set your buttons and boxes as shown here. |
Similarly, check your ISP webmail and the security level set for messages
| Using just your ISP webmail, create a message to yourself with a picture inserted or attached as a file. |
| If no picture is seen, your ISP security level is too high |
| Read your ISP Help and when no answer can be found, call your ISP for assistance. |
| When the ISP has corrected the problem, retest your OE. |
If OE still doesn't perform the way you expect
| Record all of your settings under Tools, Options |
| Record all of your settings under Tools, Accounts |
| Save your addresses and E-mail |
| Remove OE and re-install it. |
If all appears to be a lost cause, sign up and use another E-Mail provider
| Ask Google or any other Search Engine to find "free e-mail providers" (with the quotation marks) |
Should any of these tests show you are not at fault
| E-mail our web site address to the person(s) |
| Their setup for E-mail should be as shown at this web site. |
| Ask the person(s) complaining to do these same tests |
Finally, if this just appears to be too much to go through, use it as an excuse to get a new computer. |
