Introduction
Outlook being a reliable product of Microsoft today, as most of the personal users as well as corporate users are accessing their email messages through the Outlook program. Microsoft Outlook automatically checks the spam or junk messages and blocks those mails to prevent the virus attack on your PC. Also, it block the images and files from messages, which are not considered as trusted by the Outlook program. This automatic messages blocking helps the user to avoid the virus attacks as well as to protect the system's health from the unwanted disturbance. Outlook only allows the images or picture from those sites, which are included in the 'Trusted Zone'.
Sometime, if the user is sending the work related important images to his team members or to other users, Outlook is blocking those images also, as it considers that, those images are not from the safe sources, it blocks all that images automatically. Sometimes, it also blocks the images taken during important team meetings or business events, which are mandatory to share to share with other users to enhance the interpersonal skills in the team. This becomes an important when the team members are doing their work remotely from various locations and not meeting with each other daily. In such cases, images or pictures are the only source of communication and sharing the data and users are sending and receiving this kind of images or pictures via Outlook program messages. So that, we must allow those images to deliver in the Outlook message without blocking.
