If a box with a red x or a box with a blue question mark shows up in your sent emails when reading them in Outlook then you might have a rogue image block hiding in your email component or template.

Outlook (Windows)

Outlook (Mac)
This problem is caused by a missing image file that you’ve either removed the image from your account or moved it to another folder creating a new file path for it. Both actions invalidate the image link in any Email components that use the image and most email clients and services handle this by simply hiding the content block.
