Download Images Only From Trusted Senders

For security reasons, it’s best to download images only from known sources. To do that, you need to add the sender’s email address to the list of trusted senders.

  1. Launch Outlook.
  2. Open an email from a trusted sender.
  3. Then right-click on the message header.
  4. Select Add Sender to Safe Senders List.

By the way, you can also add entire domains to your list of safe senders. Basically, you’re whitelisting the entire domain. This means that Outlook will automatically download images from all the senders connected to that domain.
