How to Enable/Disable Automatic HTML

Content Download in Outlook

Even though Microsoft Outlook is the most preferred email client by the professional world, it

does not guarantee complete security from the vicious world of cyber mischief. Spyware and

malware among other known threats like viruses and Trojans can easily creep in to your system

without your knowledge if you do not pay attention to the configuration of your email client. For

ensure a more complete viewing experience. Read More

feature can save you from having to manually download the relevant images or other types of

HTML content. In either case, we follow the following steps:

open Outlook Options in a new window. This options window

covers configuration details and room for customizations

relevant to Mail, Calendar, People, Tasks, Search, Language

and other advanced features. It is from this place that you can

customize the ribbon interface, access add-ins or explore

the Trust Center.

the Outlook Options window. This will present to you several
