first possibility (not an expert) but…
assuming you are on a “shared, hosted” web server… the admins probably have “locked down” a shared php.ini
this means you don’t have access to write to the “upload_tmp_dir” as set in php.ini
if they are running segration on a single box, they might have to set a php.ini setting called “user_dir” for you and chmod it to 777.
ask your tech support peeps if that might be the reason images aren’t getting “moved” with the pop of the email.
second possibility, the host’s mail service has blocked images in messages unless you explicity “download” them using a message reader. so they are “missing” when WordPress “pops” the message. again ask the tech support peeps.
if all else fails, ignore this post. :p
