Unable to download attachments from yahoo mail for several days. What can I do?

I have been unable to download attachments from yahoo mail for several days. I get as far as the virus check, which the attachments pass, but then nothing happens - no download box, nothing. I'm needing to look at a printers proof and am totally stuck. Can anyone help?

For the time being switch back to the classic mode. It looks like they are still tweaking certain aspects of the new mail.

SOURCE: i am unable to view my yahoo mail

If after signing in to Yahoo mail you get 'opening page about:blank' problem, this is not caused by a virus, trojan, or anything like that! Yahoo have been making changes to the appearance of their home page and also their e-mail. As a result, the screen resolution of 800 x 600 on many PCs will no-longer allow you to sign in. Try changing your screen resolution to 1024 x 768

Hello laurenloscia

alot of the times, just going into internet options and setting everything to default, and clearing the cookies and files works about 50% of the time.

This is possibly a yahoo issue. If you use yahoo thru ATT, you can call ATT for support and they will escalate any valid issues to yahoo for you.

Their phone number is 1-877-722-3755

ask for tech support at the prompt

they can remote on your computer to see if it is a java issue or whatever

if they can replicate it on their computer also, they will create a yahoo trouble ticket and give you thier member service number. Yahoo resolves 85% of these within 48 hrs.

If they cant replicate it, then they will consider it a pc issue and refer you to connect tech or to best buy's geek squad.

Personally, I would also try sending emails in safemode, If you can do it in safemode, and not in reg mode, it is definately PC related.

To get to safemode, turn your computer off and when you turn it back on, tap the F8 button until you get an advanced screen. Pick safemode with networking with the arrow keys. Log in, click yes when it tells you you're running in safemode, and then when your on your desktop, which will look alot differnt, black background with big icons, click on internet explorer and go to mail.yahoo.com and see if it works now, if it does, like i said, its pc related. If it still cant, call ATT's support if you have thier DSL or U-Verse

I just upgade my yahoo mail, but now cannot download the attached file from my mail, unable to open the internet site, http:/my.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch, operation aborted

For this new yahoo mail interface go to the compose mail, you will see a tab for attachment (with an icon like a paper clip). When you click on it, it will bring another tab below with the word attach files. Click this also, it will bring a dialogue box for files to select from, then browse as usual.

Unable to attach files in yahoo mail

Hi! To attach file using your yahoo mail, First, log in with your account. Then, go to NEW (found in the left side of yahoo mail, beside CHECK MAIL). Click ATTACH which is found just right above TO or to whom you'll be addressing your message. Then just click on the file you want to attach and that's it. Your mail is ready to go. ;)

Hope this helps. Thank you for using Fixya! May you have a good day!
