How do I make Outlook download images automatically/by default

Outlook currently puts a banner at the top of my emails asking me for permission to download images.

How do I make it download this automatically and not ask me?


Solution 1:

Outlook Mail Settings

  • Go to Preferences... +, in Outlook
  • Select Reading under Email
  • The Security settings allow you change "Automatically download pictures from the Internet:"
    • In all messages
    • In messages from my contacts
    • Never

The default is never, that is why the 'banner' appears. Change it to one of the other options based on your preferred usage.
