outlook.live.com not showing external images in messages
I think is must be some new setting in outlook.live.com because I have the problem when using my main account in any computer, but other accounts in those same computers show the images without any problem.
I agree with everyone. It is a Microsoft issue. If I forward the emails to Yahoo or to Gmail, everything works fine and I can see all of the images.
Thing is - we can complain about this forever. I would rather do something productive. Does Microsoft read our posts? If not, how do we communicate our concern to people at Microsoft so they can fix it?

same problem here. from another thread there is a work-around that is better than getting gmail: enable conversations and the images will show. worked for me.
I don't like conversation view, but rather tolerate it over no images which is horrible.

martinversteeg Thanks, going to outlook.live's settings and choosing group by conversations in the Layout tab let the images load. You're better than MS's support staff! 😉
- ctgunnerSep 22, 2021Copper Contributormartinversteeg This worked for me as well. Thank you for sharing.
Another thing they broke is creating a new subfolder in the left pane. Create a subfolder, give it a name and it shows up blank. You need to rename it and the name will stick.
They must have some new, unexperienced, programmer working on Outlook Online.
Don't they test anything before releasing it? Where is the quality control?
