Mail will not show images in e-mails

For some reason, after having my Comcast internet re-connected recently, I can no longer see images embedded in e-mails. They don't show in the preview pane or when the e-mail is double-clicked. It's very strange.

I tried deleting the preference file and all the other tricks, but nothing seems to work. I also haven't been able to find any answers to this online, so it seems to be a very strange problem.

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. I guess my next step would be to create a new user and see if that works.

Thanks in advance.

I got it!

I ran a search on Apple Discussions for an issue I was also having with Safari not connecting to any pages and it turns out it was a Proxies setting in System Preferences. For some reason there were several Proxies selected when there normally should be none.

I unchecked them and Safari works, all e-mail clients work and everything is back to normal.

Should have checked that long ago, but at least it's fixed.

Thanks very much for all the help. I appreciate it.

Port 587 is only used as an Outgoing server. Port 995 is a port used as Incoming server, with SSL, which apparently you are doing? Port 110 is the standard port for incoming POP3 servers, which I had assumed you were using with Comcast, but did not consider the use of SSL

Good job finding the solution. Don't know why that got changed for you, as I have not seen it reported.

Hello,

What type of account are you using -- POP, IMAP or .mac? I ask because we need to know where the messages and Inbox are stored?

Are you only experiencing this with newly downloaded messages, and not when checking messages downloaded before this interruption in service?
