Gmail & Images

Gmail is not displaying images.






Each is an alternative solution on its own.

1) Clicked the "Display images" link at the top of the email?

2) In IE:
Go to Internet Options
Go to Security
Click on the Internet icon
Click on the Custom level button
Scroll down and near the bottom, look for "Display Mixed Content"
Change it to Enable
Display video and animation on a webpage that does not use external media player - Enable
Next click on "ok" then followed by "Apply" to be done.

3) Right before you open an e-mail which contains pictures, you'll probably get a pop-up message asking if you wish to see only content which is secure - you should answer 'No,' and then you will be able to see the pictures OK.

4) In Gmail click on "Settings" (top right of the page), then "General," then scroll down to "Browser connection." The options there are "Always use https" and "Don't always use https." Choose "Don't always use https", save setting, logout or close browser and log back in with only http in the address bar, and images will display.

OR setting to always use https & maually change the URL to http://mail.google.com
Gmail default browser settings need to be https.
To disable or re-enable this feature in Gmail:

1.Sign in to Gmail.
2.Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3.Set 'Browser Connection' to 'Always use https.'
4.Click Save Changes.
5.Manually change the URL to http://mail.google.com to start accessing Gmail via http.

Please note that selecting 'Always use https' will prevent you from accessing Gmail via HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). If you trust the security of your network, you can turn this feature off at any time.


4) Go into Settings Tab within Gmail, under Labs, and ENABLE the Picassa web email option. Don't forget to go to the bottom and SAVE CHANGES or it won't work. Gmail will then reload and you should be able to see images in messages again.

5) Gmail view: standard -click basic HTML at the very bottom of the page


6) This problem can be fixed by configuring your firewall option. You will once more get to see the images
in the mail.

7) Try viewing them when Firefox is run in safe-mode... if it works then the problem is one of your installed extensions...or a setting within..
This is only for Firefox safe-mode...Don't check off any of it's safe-mode boxes...

8) Norton may be the cause of the blocking of pictures. Do you use the Norton toolbar?... if so, then you might want to uninstall that bar...or disable it to see what happens.
