Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
upgraded to ML when it came out, all fine, but 2 weeks ago, mail suddenly stopped displaying any images in my emails.
how do i get them back???
thanks in advance
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
I've occasionally had this problem. Shutting the machine down and restarting has helped.
I'm having the same issue... 😕
I'm having the same issue. Help!
Sorted.
Quit Mail
Open Terminal.
paste this in and press return
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool NO
hi mike.
for some reason unknown to me, mail started displaying images again a couple of months ago...
thanks anyway - your command line might have sorted it for me back when it was still an issue - hope it helps others with it.
Thia solved it for me.
I have this issue too in Mail. I have "Display remote images in HTML" checked in Preferences. I also ran the Terminal command someone suggested here and this did not fix my problem. I got this laptop less than 2 months ago, it came with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and the email images have never loaded. If anyone has any ideas, much appreciated!
Thanks Mike - this fixed it for me. Good job!
Thank you Sir!! The scripted worked great!!
Magic. You're worth your weight in lollipops!
This fixed it for me as well. I really do not like the fact that regardless of the user not alterng their settings that Apple constantly muck up settings by imposing changes with no regard or respect for their customers. Apple never let anyone know that this will happen or give proper instructions about how to undo the many problems that they create.
Thanks for you help Mikeanzzzz.
Hi - I had the same problem on OS X YOSEMITE - Mail with just one (private server) IMAP mail account. This account holds approx. 8.000 mails ...
The command line did not solve the problem immediately. But …
- I deleted the account (which is no problem, as long as it is IMAP!)
- I deleted preferences in Library/Mail/V2/[MyMailAccount] - actually I moved that to desktop to have a backup
- I rebooted
- than ran the command "defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool NO"
The problem disappeared for now.

Thank you Mikeanzzzz. This fixed the problem for me also.
I found a solution here and it worked for me. It doesn't go back to old messages that are already in your inbox and correct the issue, but any new messages that come in will show images:
I was having this problem as well and EyeRah link solved it for me! Thanks.
why has mac mail stopped displaying images in emails?
