Reset / refresh avatars

Hi there. Is this possible to do?

Thanks

The easiest way to keep your avatar “up to date” if you change from time to time is to first register your preferred avatar at:

www.gravatar.com

It is a free service and will ensure that your avatar is displayed correctly wherever an avatar (your) is displayed.
It will probably take a few days for the registration and update to appear.

thanks Skybat - my apologies, I did not mean my avatar (and you are 100% right, gravatar’s a great service to usefor that!) I meant the avatar/icons associated with each email in the inbox. Any ideas?

As far as I know you have no control over these avatars they are determined by the email account of the sender - if they do not have an avatar it defaults to a letter or the default of the domain.
If someone knows different they will say.

Lo siento

¡Buena suerte!

thanks skybat. appreciate your input

The avatars are cached in eM Client and only update once every 30 days. So if an avatar for a sender was just recently cached, and then they change their Gravatar for example, it will take a while for eM Client to display the new one.

But you can force an immediate recache.

With eM Client closed just delete the avatar folders in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\eM Client. You may have to enable hidden items in Explorer to get there.

Restart eM Client, and they should start updating.
