It's not a setting you turn off in System Settings. It is where it has always been in Mail Settings > Privacy. Disable all of the checkboxes on that tab.


Or, disable whatever VPN or Proxy you are using. There could be some other network settings that affect Mail's ability to load content via the double relay, but I don't know what they are.

If you want to use the service, then you would need to figure out what odd thing is set up on your network (or get the iOS to figure out there is nothing really interfering).


If you’re running every bit of your Internet traffic through a VPN service so that they can sell all of your information as one complete block, then it doesn’t matter if you turn that off in Mail as your IP address is already being obfuscated by the VPN.


If you are not using a VPN, a proxy, or some other Internet security software, then you might try starting up in safe mode, and then restart normally.


I think I saw a post where the person had to reinstall the OS to make it work.
