Storm Wont Download Images in Emails Automatically
- I'm having trouble getting my Storm to automatically download images in e-mails. I have both of my accounts set to do it automatically in the settings but it never works.
Every time I receive an HTML e-mail or e-mail with attachments I have to manually go to 'get images' and then it warns me about showing my address.
Is there any way to get this to automatically work? It seems like it should but isn't functioning for some reason..
Any help would be appreciated!

An excerpt from one of the links: "It works, just not in all cases. It works if the images in your email are coming from the same domain as the sender. If the images are hosted on a diff server, then you have to manually select download pictures regardless of your setting."
Hope this helps ...."Last edited by Ultrafied; 03-16-09 at 05:54 PM.

- This is dead on. Images can be both in the HTML email (embedded) itself as well as on a remote server and the email just houses the URL to it. The remote ones are the images that don't download automatically, all the other ones (embedded ones) will. This is what that option controls.03-18-09 09:28 AMLike 0
- In time, you'll learn that the Storm has a lot of "phantom options" i.e. options that are non-functioning. Maybe this is RIM's idea of infusing a little "fun" into your Blackberry experience by making you guess which options are functioning and which options do absolutely nothing at all! It's kind of like Blackberry Roulette in that way.03-18-09 09:43 AMLike 0

- "automatically download images" being located in the mail settings as the OP originally noted.
If "automatically download images" automatically downloads images with the proviso that it only automatically downloads images some of the time according to what server the images are located on (a ludicrous attempt at preserving "security"), then technically the control does not do what it claims to do. If the user wants to over-ride the "security" feature by allowing all images to automatically download according to the option they are choosing, then they should be able to.
Would you like me to name another?03-18-09 10:02 AMLike 0 - "automatically download images" being located in the mail settings as the OP originally noted.

Also, this auto image download stuff is like that on ALL 4.5+ Blackberries.... nothing new to the Storm.03-18-09 10:05 AMLike 0 - I for one am waiting with baited breath. I can just imagine the poster frantically pressing options on their storm trying to find an option that doesn't work (doesn't understand). ;-)
