Why can I download attachments using Yahoo Classic Mail, but not using newer Yahoo Mail?

I have been using yahoo mail for many years. For last few months, I am not able to download attachments,?

  • I therefore forward that mail to my gmail account and then download it. I need help.

  • Answer:

    I found two methods that solved the problem for me when "all of a sudden" I was not able to attach files to Yahoo! Mail because the circle kept spinning like it was downloading but it would never complete it. The first solution was to use a different web browser instead of Internet Explorer to get to (to access) Yahoo! Mail. If I go through Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer to get to (to access) Yahoo! Mail then I am able to attach files in Yahoo! Mail. Other web browsers such as Firefox have worked for others although I did not try any other web browser. The second solution was to change a setting in Internet Explorer. On the upper right of the screen, click: Tools From the menu that appears, click: Compatibility View settings From the window that appears, click in the box to set a check mark next to: Display all websites in Compatibility View To save and close this setting, click: Close After I send the email I go back and remove the check mark because if I don't, it messes up other things. I only use this setting to send attachments in Yahoo! Mail. Both of these methods worked for me.

Taru ...I do the same thing! I can receive attachments but can not send. I thought it had something to do with my new lap top but I can see from these posts that it is not. Does Yahoo ever read these posts????
