403 blocking my email client from access server side images

I recommend searching for the blocked or challenged request in the Security app under the Overview tab in the Firewall Events section of your Cloudflare Dashboard. From there you can see what is causing the block and potentially create a Firewall Rule in order to allow the user agent.

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the 403 error message, as well as the Ray ID on the error page?
