Attachments yahoo mail

Hi,
I have Yahoo mail and I use Firefox. I'm just wondering how opening attachments works with Yahoo mail.
Today I opened an attachment and it gave a preview of what the attachment was.
Does this preview mean that the attachment has downloaded onto my computer or am I viewing it through a browser on the Yahoo server? I'm worried about downloading viruses!

The preview would not be downloaded to your computer directly however, you could still contract a virus. You could download a year of Norton anti-virus for $50 as well as a download free trials.

Why can I no longer seemingly have the "option" in Yahoo Mail, to "View" attachments, and not just "download" them in my incoming emails?

When I use IE browser to open my YAHOO EMAIL "classic" or "New" account, and I open an "inbox email", I have the option of "viewing" attachments, or "downloading" attachments.
I used to have that "dual" option, seemingly, using Firefox Browser, which I prefer to use.
Now, when I open my "Classic" or "New" Yahoo Email Account/s, with Firefox Browser, I no longer have the option, seemingly, to "VIEW" the attachments, but only the option to "Download" them, which I prefer not to do.
I have tried this using the older version 3.6 and the new version 9 of Firefox with the same results. No "Dual Attachment Viewing/Downloading" option in Yahoo Mail anymore in either the "Classic" or "New" versions of Yahoo Mail.
Can I correct this or change this back to the older "DUAL" OPTION of "Viewing" and/or "Downloading" attachments...or is this just the way the New FireFox Browser works.?
This is only happening to me with YAHOO.COM Email Accounts.

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

Firefox crashes, even in safe mode, when I try to add attachments in Yahoo mail -- running Mac OSX 10.4.11, FF 3.6.16.

Firefox has consistently crashed when adding attachments in Yahoo mail. For a while Firefox would crash immediately when I clicked "attach." Then, for a while it would allow me to upload files if they were located in a folder that the Yahoo mail application opened when I clicked "attach," but if I tried to navigate to a different folder, I would crash when I clicked on the root user folder. I then updated Flash and tried Firefox in safe mode, and now Firefox (in safe mode or not) is again crashing as soon as I click attach in Yahoo mail. My system is as above, Mac OSX Tiger (10.4.11) on an original Mac Pro, all stock parts (I had added some aftermarket RAM but removed it some time ago, before these crashes started). Firefox does NOT generate a crash report dialog when I restart.

can't make much of this crash log but try this. when you get to the smtp server page in setup assistant hold option while clicking "create" or 'continue". this will skip the actual server validation and might prevent crashing.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I can't see attachments in my Yahoo mail. This is not a problem of Yahoo, because with Internet Explorer works fine. What is the problem?

Question
Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I can't see attachments in my Yahoo mail. This is not a problem of Yahoo, because with Internet Explorer works fine. What is the problem?

Ok, now they are showing. I restarted my computer again and they are showing now.

Attachments can't be opened in Yahoo mail.

When I send an email to my own email account with an attached Word document, the attachment comes over to the iPhone as a *.dat file and cannot be opened. When emails with attachments are sent from other email accounts, the attachments can be opened just fine. I am using Outlook on a PC and the email account uses an at&t mail server which is handled through Yahoo mail on the iPhone. Any ideas? Just don't ask why I am sending email to myself.

The problem goes away when I use Yahoo Webmail to send stuff to myself -- both the computer and iPhone are able to receive openable attachments.

Attachments not visible in Yahoo mail under Firefox 18.

Running under Firefox 18, attachments to received e-mails on Yahoo mail are not visible, as they used to be (and are under Internet Explorer). On downloading the e-mails (to Thunderbird) the attachments are there as expected.

hello, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947471 this thread] a user has found out that the problem might be related to the ghostery addon.
add an exception for yahoo mail: click on the ghostery icon while you're in yahoo's webmail, choose "edit blocking options" & then don't block on this domain...

Safari 5 crashes with Yahoo Mail attachments

I just updated to Safari 5 and it crashes when I try to send a Yahoo email with attachment. My two other email accounts accept attachments with Safari but when I try to attach them in Yahoo, Safari freezes. Force Quit does not show that Safari is not responding but that's the only way I can close it. The type of file attached makes no difference -- text document, video or photo. Yahoo attachments work normally with Chrome. The other changes I made when updating Safari were those recommended in the June 5 Adobe security bulletin for Reader, Acrobat and Flash Player: I deleted the authplay.dll file in Reader/Acrobat and installed the 10.1 Release Candidate for Flash Player. (Also installed the 1.0 firmware update for the 27 inch display which should be irrelevant.) Yahoo Help only gives the duuuuh answer "Change browsers." Any suggestions?

Having same problem, so sent an email to Yahoo Mail Premium Customer Care. Here is their response (we should all be sending our troubles to Apple, as well as to Yahoo, since this is obviously a problem with SAFARI -- and, so far, Yahoo! does not seem to know this fact):

Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball<br>
Feb 7, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to Anamariela)
Well, my problem with Yahoo Classic is different--I cannot click on some of the buttons! Very weird. No beach ball, but when I attach files to send an email and click on "Attach Files", nothing. Same with a couple others.
Going to try to install the new Flash as Mark suggested. Anyone else have this issue?
I probably should change to Yahoo's newer mail app but I just prefer the Classic version.
You might want to read the other replies in that Apple discussion and try the suggestions ... or just contact Yahoo help, if no one else replies here.

How to open attachments (in Yahoo mail).

Whenever I receive an attachment in yahoo mail (word or pdf) I just want to open it. When I click on these attachments my only option is to save them... then I have to go to the folder where I saved them and open them from there. How can I just open an attachment without having to save it (like in IE)?

Please see [[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]]

I cannot send attachments with Yahoo Mail.Why? The problem just started recently

when attempting to sen any e-mail which has an attachment there is a message that I must wait until the download is complete

Whuch suggestions did you try? Here are two recent threads I found:
* [/questions/977835] firefox wont dowload any attachments from yahoo mail, all other downloads work
* [/questions/978924] Can't open pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.
Did you try [/questions/977835?page=2#answer-506091] (change settings from "Full featured" to "Basic")?
Are you accessing Yahoo Mail directly from https://mail.yahoo.com/ instead of through a bookmark? Edit: I see philipp already suggested this and linked to yet another thread, [/questions/971042]

HT4906 is there any connection in photo stream and My Yahoo mail Applications and attachments

When is Photo stream and Yahoo mail Applications / Attachments going to allow me to empty my attchments into trash? / delete them

You will have to ask Yahoo - If you are using Apple software then that all works - I do not use Yahoo applications and have no idea how they work - support for them must come from Yahoo

Yahoo Mail not receiving attachments from Workflow Notifications

One of my clients uses Yahoo Mail and receives Workflow Notifications on their Yahoo Mail address. For some reason, file attachments are being removed within the Workflow Notification. I set up my own Yahoo Mail account and have the exact same issue.
Another issue is that the "view this item" link doesn't work at all within Yahoo Mail. However, the "mailto" link does work.
Has anybody else experienced issues with Yahoo Mail?

Hi,
If the yahoo user has admin access to the site then the attachment should appear within the workflow email.
If still experiencing such issue I would recommend raising a case so we can investigate this ASAP. Please include the users in question and also the email attachment or screencast so we can attempt to replicate within your case.
Admin -> help&support (to submit a case)
Thanks,
-Sidney
