Outlook 2003

Because of the various email platforms that can work with Outlook, it is tricky to tell you how to recieve all email to your Outlook inbox. We can tell you, however, how to make sure you can see all the emails you receive as they were intended to be seen - with images. If a company is not in your address book or "Safe Sender" list, your HTML images will not display.

To have HTML display correctly, users can:

  1. Change their automatic download settings
  2. Add your email or domain to their approved sender list
  3. To change settings:

    1. Right click on a non-displaying image in an HTML email
    2. Choose "Change automatic download settings" option
    3. When the popup comes up, uncheck the first box in the list that says "don’t download pictures or other HTML content automatically
    4. Click "OK"

    To add domain to safe sender list:

    1. Right click on a non-displaying image in an HTML email
    2. Choose "Add the domain to the safe sender list" option
