Show Sender Pictures in Mail App messages
Firstly, there is no essential requirement to change the default picture download settings in Outlook/Mail app to enable the downloading of the pictures from the Internet. Also, it refuses to work via this option of downloading the pictures, it won’t work with the options disabled in Trust Center either. Locate the Windows Mail app and open it. When opened, go to the left-bottom corner and click the gear icon to open the Settings menu. Once there, choose the option that reads as ‘Reading pane’.
Now, Scroll down to the External content heading. There, check the box marked against ‘Apply to all accounts’ option, and turn on ‘Automatically download external images and style formats’.
When done, return to one of your mail message with images to check if it is fine. The issue should be resolved.
