MAIL V6.6 in Mavericks?

You cannot use Mountain Lion Mail in Mavericks.

Is this a POP account? If you click on the image in the message does it download then? If yes, this sounds like

your message might be partially downloaded. I don't have a POP account to verify, but look for the settings to download complete message bodies.

Open Mail > Preferences > Accounts > most likely it's under Mailbox behaviors or Advanced tab.

That's definitely an issue with remote images. You want "Display remote images in HTML messages" checked to view them.

You say that checkbox has made no difference, which is odd. Do you have some sort of proxy server configured? Are you running something like "Little Snitch" which can cause issues like this?

I have the same problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5783133

Thunderbird works for me but Mail always used to and I prefer its look and feel.

Where did you find this 'something in my "network filter app" that was dis-allowing the remote images to display'?

I'm hoping it might work for all of us who do html newsletters.

No go. My box is checked and I still have only blank outlines where images are supposed to be. So far as I can tell, I have no net filters in place.

This only happened after I installed 10.9.2. But I did do a file cleaning and wonder if I deleted something necessary to Apple Mail. Any ideas?

I should add, this is not true of all images. Apparently, only those coded in HTML as links don't show up. Embedded images seem fine.

You can test in a new User. This will let you know if the issue is in your User's folder or if you removed something at the base level.

CREATE A NEW USER

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.

Do you still see the issue?

If yes, then the problem is with your base files.

If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.

Let us know what you find.

Thanks, Diane.

I created a New User account and voila! the images appeared.

So it's something to do with my User folder. What exactly?

And how do I now delete the New User? How do I select it for removal? It doesnt respond to the cursor.

It's been awhile since I messed with Users & Groups!

Finding the issue in the User's folder can be very difficult. Some issues are common and we know what to suggest to fix. The issue with images is not one that I am familiar with so not sure what to suggest. Often it is easier to move to the new User.

Transferring files from one account to another on the same Mac

Use your Shared folder:

• Log in to the account you wish to copy files from.
• In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
  

Your Hard Drive/Users/Shared

1. Copy any files or folders you wish to the Shared folder, such as items on your desktop, in your Documents folder, in your Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items. Note: To ensure that you copy items (as opposed to moving items), hold the Option key as you drag files to the Shared folder. Depending on item permissions, some files or folders will copy by default, some may move by default.
2. Log out of the current account.
3. Log in to the new account (that you are transferring files to).
4. In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
5. Copy any files or folders you wish from the Shared folder to the desired locations, such as desktop, Documents folder, Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items.

If you are low on disc space be careful since this copies data. Move one item at a time then delete the original before starting the next copy.

Tip: Rather than move the default root folders, I like to create a folder in shared i.e. "documents", "desktop" etc and move the contents of these folders into the custom folder. When you move to the new User you copy the contents into the root folders.

The User's Library folder is one you need to be very careful in what you bring over. Most likely the issue is in your User's Library. Mail, browser settings and most of the items in Application Support are safe to bring over.

Remove User

Lastly, unless you are really low on disk space I would leave the test user for those times you need to troubleshoot. However to delete go to System Preferences > User's & Groups. Select the account and click on the - to remove.

Hi Diane, I found out the problem: Cleaning my files, I also threw away all my Mail Rules. Hence, everything is going every which way and even though Junk Mail filtering is unchecked, Junk mail is doing its stuff, which includes requiring me to check "Load Images" for every piece of mail it filters -- right now, almost every email! I have Spamsieve installed which normally shuts Junk down pretty cold, so my task now is to restore all my Rules (ugh) plus ensure Spamsieve is among them.

The clue, fyi, was that not only were the images not loading, the headers are all a bright orange which I cannot stand. Apple Mail's designers are really not the brightest bulbs on the block. I wonder if there are any designers anymore, or whether we're all just cruising on work done back in 2012 and earlier. Thanks for your help.

If you have Time Machine you can restore the missing mail rules and another other files you might have trashed.

You need to navigate to your Mail folder before entering Time Machine.

It's in your User's Library. See link below if you don't know how to show.

You can restore just the items you need. If you are unsure, I would restore to the entire MailData folder and select to save to Desktop or "keep both".

Mail > V2 > MailData

If you replace the entire MailData folder, I suggest you delete the 3 files with envelope in the name. This will reindex Mail. I wound't mix/match the envelope files.
