No Images in Yahoo Mail

12 years ago

I get a daily news letter with images within the text. Yesterday I could see em. Today nope. I need em! All I can get is a little icon where the image shoulda been. I can download the images to my comp but they show up as a thin line - totally useless. I can open the images in a slide show. Hot dog! To use them I need to open the browser in a 2nd window to read the matching text. That sucks.

I never changed a single setting. Same with 3 different browsers. Got nuthin off of Google except how to change settings. I know how to change settings!

Is this another Yahoo 'improvement' sprung on us w/o warning? If so is there an alternative web based email that will show images? I tried Inbox and it wouldn't.

There's an image display setting for Yahoo mail accounts but there could also be something wrong with that day's email you got. There's no need to stomp your feet over it.

To check the setting, click on the gear symbol in the upper right. Then Settings, then Security, then you'll see a dropdown giving you a few choices of whether or when to show email images.

If it isn't something you do regularly or automatically, I think it's always a good practice to periodically clear your browser's cache. Settings, preferences, and other mischief can accumulate and cause unexpected behavior.

Well I did all that. Several times. The problem exists with every email with images received this year. So it's retroactive. Some from April 2013 still show the images. You might read the post more carefully

The problem occurs with 3 browsers 1 of which is NEVER used so it isn't the browser.

Mine works fine . Yahoo in the news lately said starting this week they encrypt all emails for security enhancements. And all searches and messenger stuff to follow. So maybe they hit a snafu on your server or you not accessing with HTTPS or something simple.. Hopefully it will automatically fix it self fast for you... Might help it along by running something like CCleaner to clear your internet cache and restart the computer to make sure a good flush of dns cache.

I just got that message too. At the bottom left there was a place to "skip for now" which I did and got into my mail. Pretty sure they can't/won't lock us out of email because of our lack of the right phones. Sandy

Jasdip you should definitely be using a more updated and more secure version of IE, or any browser for that matter, they are updated to eliminate security vulnerabilities. I have IE 11 on my windows 7 machines. I never use it but I keep it updated. I would suggest going to at least 10. You should be getting these as critical updates through your Windows updates, are you getting those updates monthly or as issued? They are very important. You can check through the windows updates in control panel.

It would seem to be another Yahoo surprise and is showing up on Google now I'm told. When I looked Monday it didn't show up so I was probly one of the first to search and before the complaints started.

I devised 2 workarounds. 1. get another email outfit. 2 download the images then flip thru while reading the matching email text.

Brilliant wouldn't you say? Ah, but consider the source. :-)
