Outlook keeps showing the following images when trying to display images from our image server.
Here is an example of the image its trying to load.

Any thoughts on what might be causing outlook to contact our image server in an extremely slow manner?
Discovered the issue. Images embeded in the email were missing "http:" so mail services like gmail could discover the image but not mail clients like Outlook or iPhone Mail App.
So URLs were

Not

I am creating an email template in pug. All of my images show fine in the Outlook desktop app (after clicking to download them) But in Outlook web app and gmail. They dont show and just shows the alt text.

Both mail apps use a proxy server to load the images. But as your own webserver is currently not accessible from outside your own network, this request fails.
You need to host the images on a webserver that can be reached from the "usual internet"
Outlook iOS is showing avatar photos from external commercial senders in its list as shown by the attached screen shot. For Amazon it goes a step further and shows a button to track shipments in the shot as well.
I’m trying to figure out how to embed our enterprise logo into emails to achieve the same effect. An email with our logo and perhaps a “click or touch to respond to this support issue” button would help us to stand out. There is no doc I could find online.
Anyone have an idea of how or where to look?
Finally found it! BIMI is what causes this logo to work! Here are the links:

You can display your logo within Outlook by creating and customizing a Bing Pages profile.
Bing Pages lets users manage their own brand on Microsoft products, such as Outlook. It's free and only requires a Twitter account, plus an Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitch, or TickTock account with 100+ followers that’s made at least one post within the past 30 days.
The Gmail requirement for a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) can be avoided with these steps:
Create a Google account with your company's email address.
Change the profile picture to your company's logo.
Wait up to 48 hours for the logo to become visible in the inbox.
Do not create the Google account using the "To manage my business" option. This account type isn't able to change its profile picture, and the account type can't be changed after its created.
For everyone else:
First, you will need complete the BIMI specification. Then, you will need to complete any additional requirements that each email service provider may have to display the logo in their inbox. This tutorial walks you through the process and explains everything you need to know.
I'm developing facebook bot using Microsoft bot framework & have a strange issue: I return card carousel with thumbnail images. When talking from the web, I get all images, when from android, I get only 1 or 2 images. Dimensions are same, images are returned by my own services, all are png.
Any ideas where to look for problems?
Update - Issue Fixed
So turns out, I messed up with Content-Length header in my image handler service and was sending incorrect length with images. After fixing it, everything works as expected. Still, it's interesting, why some images were showing up even with incorrect length header and some not.
Please, ensure the images you sent are httpS instead of http. This is a like a assumption in the documentation.
If you use http, its shown in the emulator but not in other secure channels like Skype and Facebook.
I uploaded a template with jpg images in an auction site. The images are hosted in my server. The problem is that these images are displayed in google images.
I configured hotlink for the images, with exceptions to the auction site domain.
But the problem is when I try to send an email to anyone, like gmail, live, icloud, etc. the images not shown.
Any help will be appreciated!
I need to implement dragging outlook attachment to web browser, when dropped, I should get some file info, I tried using pure javascript, but not working, Now I have no idea,
thanks
You cannot do that directly. See Upload fails when user drags and drops attachment from email client
Saving attachment to the file system is pretty much the only workaround.
