  In designing HTML emails, I've been running into a problem testing them on Apple Mail (v4.0) - I cannot get the images to reload from the server.

  I've tried:
  * Restarting Mail
  * Clear ~/Library/MailDownloads
  * Clear ~/Library/Cache/Mail
  * Empty Safari cache

  This thread is a bit useless as well:

  Anyone have a work around for this?

  I had this same problem. I ended up having to change the name of the html file each time I needed to see the changes.

  1st thing I would do would be to test it in your browser, get your images right there.
  then I would fix layout bugs.

  there is an ID in one of the XML files in the stationary, you need to either increment/ randomize that ID. or uninstall the stationary before installing again.

  (new mail - show stationary - custom)

    yeah, this is probably totally irrelevant.– kingsteven2/3

  Mail uses Webkit so I doubt its going to look much different than in Safari

  I think I found a workaround.

  Add a simple query version number to the end of your <img> tag to force Mail to reload the image.

  Example:
  <img src="http://www.domain.com/images/header.jpg?version1">

  Works.

  apple mail cache is in a temp folder in /private/var/folders/
  if you search around in there you'll find a Cache.db file within a com.apple.mail folder within a -Caches- folder, but it'll be inside two more levels of folders which seem to be named with random strings.
