Hey enigma1944,
Sorry ... Windows 10 Mail App > Settings (cog lower left) > Reading > Show sender pictures in the message list > Turn it off

 

contact pictures not showing in mail app

The next troubleshooting step we suggest is to uninstall and reinstall the Mail app. Here are the steps:

• 
  Click the Start button.
  
• 
  Type Windows Powershell.
  
• 
  Right-click Windows Powershell and click
  Run as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage
  
• 
  Press Enter.
  

Note: The Mail app and the Calendar app are tied together, so the Calendar app will get uninstalled as well.



After uninstalling the Mail app, restart your computer. You can then reinstall it by following these steps:

• 
  Click the Start button.
  
• 
  Type Windows Powershell.
  
• 
  Right-click Windows Powershell and click
  Run as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
  
• 
  Press Enter.
  

When choosing a contact photo, the Photos app would show the pictures under the "Collection" tab by default. You can click the last icon, which would bring you to the "Folders"
tab. You can then browse the folders in your computer for the picture you want.







Let us know if the contact photos appear in the Mail app after reinstalling it.

It's supposed to be for a contact picture, though it's some rather silly indexing letters at the moment.
To switch that off, but only in the email list, they remain in the message view. In the Windows 10 Mail App go to Settings > Reading > Show sender pictures OFF.
Same sort of idea if that is somewhere else.
There are updates almost every week for that App that can change the settings.

You seem to be stuck with those in the Contacts App, no ON/OFF option.
