There are several reasons your links might be disabled in your Outlook for Windows email messages (when sending or receiving email messages).
Select a tab option below for the version of Outlook you're using. What version of Outlook do I have?
In new Outlook, links should be enabled by default. However, if they are disabled, you can do the following:
-
Go to Settings > Mail > Junk email.
-
Under Security options, make sure that Block attachments, pictures, and links from anyone not in my Safe senders and domains list is unchecked.
-
Select Save.
In classic Outlook, to troubleshoot links not working in an email message, use the following troubleshooting:Â
-
Check to see if the email message you're composing or viewing is in plain text.
-
Check to see if an InfoBar at the top of the message informs you that links are disabled. If so, select the button in the InfoBar to enable external content.
