Blocking images not working

sdot10 · #1 05-30-2016

No sure if this is a trend but I'm noticing more and more email providers not allowing you to block all images or allowing images from "known senders" whether you want it or not. I used to check my stealth accounts on my main computer because it was was easier to see if I had any messages. As long as images were blocked and I didnt click any links youre fine. I have noticed recently though that on a lot of my accounts that images are showing up even if I had them blocked previously. In some cases (aol, hotmail, yahoo) the option to block all images is gone completely. Anyone else noticing this? More of a public service than anything.

Have you tried Thunderbird?

Have not. Will have to do that. Thanks.

No problem, hope it works for you.

Thunderbird will do it - but you will be restricted to viewing that mail on a computer.

For mobile/on the go use, GMAIL is ideal.

This means you cant respond to mail on the go.

Not sure if there are any tried and tested mobile apps which are a thunderbird equivalent.

K9 is a good app, I use to use it when I had an Android Phone.

Yes I noticed this recently myself and was wondering what was going on. I clicked the never display images in the settings and it still shows up anyway. Let me know if you find out what is going on or if you found a fix for this?

Heres a Quick Fix that requires no hard work " DONT EVER OPEN PAYPALS EMAIL WHEN YOU GET A SALE ALL THE INFO IS ON EBAY" Only log into paypal 2 times 1 to set-up the Account 2- to withdraw funds.

In Paypal at the top Right you can click the SETTING gear icon. Go to NOTIFICATIONS and Turn OFF All notifications other than received payment ( remember never to open the email )

Your account CANT be limited from Emails if you follow these guidelines!!!
