In Options/Privacy & Security/Permissions, when the box is checked for "Block websites from automatically playing sound," my email client (emClient) becomes completely disabled (unregistered) and MS Mail won't download images. When I clear the "Disable autoplay sound" checkmark, the email apps work normally.
