Hi Stephen, If you receive an email in Mail that has blue boxes with question marks in them, this is for one of three reasons: 1. You have no Internet connection, which prevents Mail from downloading the images. 2.The message is in your Junk Mail folder. Mail refuses to grab images for these messages as a safety measure. In this case, you must take the message out of your Junk Mail folder (or click “Load Images” at the top of the message while viewing it). 3. The option to display remote images in messages is turned off in the Mail preferences.
If your problem stems from scenarios #1 or #2, you know how to fix this. You either need to connect to the Internet (at which time Mail will automatically download the messages), or you must take the message out of your Junk Mail folder. To fix the problem with scenario #3, follow these steps: 1. Select Preferences from the Mail menu. 2. Click on the Viewing tab in the Preferences window. 3. Make sure that you check the checkbox next to Display remote images in HTML messages. Or in Yosemite Mail - Load remote content in messages If this box is not checked, Mail will not load your images, and you’ll see blue boxes with question marks instead.
