Load remote content in messages (Mail)

Hello All,

Iv'e just upgraded to Yosemite today, and so far, so good, a few teething issues.

The biggest problem I have is with the Mail App.

I just can't get to see remote contant in Mail messages (using my Apple iCould account)

I had no problems in Mavericks, did a straight upgrade. I have tried Preferences -> Viewing -> Load Remote Content in Messages,, but the images in messages just won't show. I am being presented with little boxes and question marls in the place holders of the images.

I have tried to toggle on/off whilst restarting the mail app, but no joy. This is a real deal breaker for me, as mail is probably the main app I use. And having to click the links to open the image in a web browser is a show stopper.

Any help here would be much appreciated, just to add, I had no problems with the Mavericks mail app. This is installed on my Mac Pro (mid 2012) and I'm reluctant to upgrade on my Macbook Air at the moment.

Mac Pro (Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi shirvy

Have you found a solution to this very annoying problem? I have searched the web just to find a way to solve this - but no luck :-(

Hi Peter,

I'm afraid I still have this issue, unfortunately I have had to use a different mail client now as this issue was starting to cripple me.

I'm using Post Box at the moment, which works fine, but would have liked to use the native app, very dissapointed.

Kind Regards, Shirvy

Hi Guys - I upgraded last night myself (MBPro) however I'm not experiencing this issue. Checkout "Preferences" then "Viewing" in Mail, and ensure that "Load Remote Content" is checked. I hope this helps, good luck...

Hi Cam,

Unfortunately enable/disable the "Load Remote Content" in Preferences > Viewing does not make a change...

I had the same problem, but I found a solution somewhere saying if you have LittleSnitch firewall installed and in setting there is a rule for Mail (something about blocking web content) - delete it. So I allowed the outgoing connections.
