By default, Outlook 2016 for Mac doesn't automatically download pictures or photos in email messages if the images are stored on the Internet. This practice helps to protect your privacy because downloading an Internet picture can alert the sender that your email address is active and that you received the message. To download pictures in emails automatically, you can modify your related configuration by following the steps below: 1. Click Outlook Preferences. Under Email, click Reading. Select the option you prefer to choose: In all messages or only in messages from your contacts. For detailed information, you can refer to this link. After you click the Trust Center Settings, a new window will reveal the options enclosed within. Click the Automatic Download tab from the sidebar (if not selected already) and uncheck the ‘Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML email messages or RSS items’.

Outlook for Mac 2016 Go to the menu at the top of your screen and click on Outlook, then select Preferences. Under the E-mail section, select Reading. Under the Security section where it says Automatically download pictures from the Internet:, select the In all messages radio button. Outlook won’t download the photos in your emails automatically, so you have to click where it says “Click here to download pictures. To help your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of some pictures in this message”. It’s nice that the creators of Outlook want to protect your privacy, but this feature can sometimes be a nuisance.
