Resuscitating a similar post from February 2024 that didn't get a response. I've just started getting a small "?" icon where an image should be for every email that is downloaded. There is a message bar at top of each mail that says "Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately."
I haven't changed any settings for a while, and images inside of emails would load fine. Where should I look to change this?

I'm seeing this too. I do have "Protect Mail Activity" turned on. And I want to keep it on. I do not want to disable Apple's privacy protections.
This just started behaving this way today. Nothing changed since yesterday, as far as I know, but I'm not getting images in mail messages anymore, without explicitly loading them.
Did have it checked, but did not change it. Attachments/pics just stopped loading yesterday. Unchecking it and restarting didn't help.
My experiment didn't work, had to wait abit then go back & idit to OOPs!:(
Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?
In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.
Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.
If you have no POP accounts & they’re all IMAP accounts then in Mail’s Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
If that doesn't cure it....
Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?
We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
