Weekly Tips: Manage External Images in Zoho Mail

Weekly Tips: Manage External Images in Zoho Mail

When you receive emails every day, whether from clients, newsletters, or services,  many of them contain external images that automatically load when you open the message. While this can make emails look more engaging, it can also impact your privacy and email loading speed. Some senders use these images to track when and where their emails are opened.

So, how can you take control of how external images are handled in your inbox and ensure both privacy and performance?

You can easily do this by using the Load External Images option in Zoho Mail.

Load External Images Settings

In Zoho Mail, you have full control over how external images are displayed in your emails using the Load external images option. you can choose to always load images automatically or load only once you allow them to. This helps balance convenience and privacy depending on your needs.

Steps to Manage External Image Settings

  1. Log in to your Zoho Mail account.
  2. Go to Settings > Mail View > Load External Images.
  3. You will find two main options:

    1. Always – Images will be displayed automatically in all emails.
    2. Ask me – Images will not be displayed unless you choose to load them manually for individual messages.
  4. Select your preferred option and save your changes.
If you ever change your mind, you can return to the same setting and adjust your preferences at any time.

Managing how external images load not only protects your privacy but also helps emails open faster.
