Avatars

eM Client automatically downloads and displays avatars for your contacts from the web. We download images from Gravatar, domain icons and more.

If no image is saved for your contact on server or in your Contacts section, the contact's initials or empty icons will be shown instead, depending on these settings:

Download avatars from external sources

This option will determine if images from external sources are downloaded or not.

This does not include images from your Contacts.

If you uncheck this option, Apply the change, and then check again, you will reset your avatars cache and new images will be downloaded. Otherwise, already downloaded images are updated once every 30 days.

Show monograms when no other avatar is found

This option determines if initials are shown. If you uncheck the option only a basic silhouette icon will show instead.
