Thunderbird does not display images in their E-Mails, this can have several causes. We will show you how to solve the Problem.

Thunderbird: Blocked images to display

Thunderbird is trying to protect you from Spam and the threats in the network. Graphics will be automatically blocked.
  • Select the affected email and click below the sender information on the "External content" (see image). The images will now be loaded.
  • You don't want to do that again and again manually, click next on the blue Link to "External content from XY store". In this case, the sender is marked as safe.
  • You can disable this precautionary measure from Thunderbird, however. How this works, we will show you in the next paragraph.
