How do I get mail to automatically load remote content?

I saw a previous answer to this... they suggested to go into Privacy Settings and set "hide IP address". That did not work for me. That answer was in 12/2022. It is now 6/2023. I have Ventura 13.4 OS. Does anyone have any other "fixes"?

I should also add... I bought Nord VPN in 4/2023. Could Nord have an affect on my Mail not loading HTML content directly? Tnx.

Thanks, Brain. I wonder if you can help me with this.... I've "browsered" for an answer, but no help:
When I open my mail, it opens 'on top' (over) Safari, not in/on it's own 'desktop'. Is there a setting I can
use to have mail open on it's own without covering up my open Safari page? I did read a solution to just duo/split-page view... but I find that restrictive.
Thnx, Schminda

Put it in a different Desktop, then ctrl-click on the Dock icon and choose "This Desktop" from the Options submenu. Do the same for Safari in another Desktop.

Hi Brain, I like your moniker 👍. Yep, I tried by disabling it, and still no help. I also thought maybe Nord was getting in my way because I've been trying to log into my Cell Service, Boost Mobile, and it would not let me log in...so I thought, "well.... maybe Boost is looking for my old IP address"... and I still can't log into their App (with Nord disabled)....but that's a Boost issue, not a Mac issue.

Thanks for the advice though. 👏 Schminda

Hi! Perhaps you misunderstand. I am send you 2 screen shots to try to explain. One program opens on top of the other, and vice versa. So, I have to choose... do I want to look at Safari, or do I want to look at my Mail? I can't slide back and forth to view both at the same time on 2 different "Desktops". Does that make sense?

Tnx,

Schminda

Attached: 2 separate screen shots.... 1 w Safari on top, 1 w Mail on top....... 😱

Go to Mail, Settings, Privacy tab.


If not active, click the radio button for Protect Mail Activity so the blue check mark displays


Text of the setting: Mail Privacy Protection works by hiding your IP address and loading remote content privately in the background, even when you don’t open the message. This makes it harder for senders to follow your Mail activity. Learn more…
