1449473 2018-05-12 07:01:00 YAHOO is my main email address.
I cant open attachments, get message saying "Cant open attachments".
If I forward these emails to my Gmail account they open just fine.
What is missing on my Yahoo account that wont allow me to open or save attachments.

Thanks

A setting that allows you to tell it what to use to open them?

1449477 2018-05-13 21:53:00 Hi Woody. I have been using Yahoo mail for as long as I can remember. Never had any issues until now.

Why do you say it is useless?

I have began to use Gmail but would rather not go to to trouble of notifying my hundreds of friends that know me only by my yahoo address.

1449478 2018-05-13 21:56:00 Thank you blanco. I will work my way through all your suggestions. I did Google for a solution but you have found more than I got.

It is obviously Yahoo as three tablets a two phones wont open attachments either.

where do we start :)

yahoo hacked & accounts stolen (millions of contacts and emails stolen)
multiple security issues
spam issues
email outages
email slowdowns
email send/receive delays of up to 4 days
so bad that BT dumped it as theier email provider
so bad that Telecom/spark dumped them as their email provider (finally)
