lost images in Outlook emails
I upgraded my system disk to a larger disk and cloned to that.
On startup of Outlook it reported that it had an invalid .ost file, to delete it and it would be automatically recreated.
Indeed it did, and all seemed OK, but now Outlook does not download any images in emails. It says “The linked image cannot be displayed” (for all http or https image links.)
After many links and hints, I tried to go into IE and set the: Internet Options/Browsing History –Settings/
And the size is 0, and no Current Location.
I can say “move folder” (although none is set) and browse to the standard: C:/users/name/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows,
And set some size for the cache, and it says – fine, I need to log you out/in to move the files.
After a re-login, the same folder is still empty, and IE is in the same no-folder and size=0 state, and Outlook broken.
Another site said to set the key for Outlook caching to point to a directory in this folder, and indeed there was such a folder there, and the name matched, so that seemed fine. Now after deleting it the required Content.Outlook sub-folder is not there.
Starting Outlook in /safe mode does not help. Changing user does not help. Creating a new Outlook profile does not help.
Resetting IE Internet options/Advanced/Reset does not help.
Log-in as administrator and delete users TIF folder sis not help (it was recreated).
IE policy of: Security/“Do not save encrypted pages to disk” is not set.
ID policy: Security/"Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or RSS items" not set
ScanPST repair - no change.
So, why would a disk clone/swap cause all of this, and how to recover?
