Can't open attachment in yahoo email

when I get an attachment in yahoo I use to be able to open-box would pop up to ask if I want to save to computer and box would open and give me a choice of: open, save or cancel. Now I get save to computer or save to dropbox. When I say save to computer
nothing happens. I tried save to dropbox but all I get is a box that says save big files to dropbox and circle that runs and never downloads to dropbox. I would like to get back to the box that gave me a choice right on the computer.  How do I get that
back.

Hi,
What is included in this attachment? If it was detect as threat, it can be block by security software, such as antivirus. So i suggest you disabling those security software temporarily.
If this issue persisits, please re-try in No Add-on mode to exclude the impact of 3rd add-ons.
Thanks!

    You need two independent set of cookies to achieve this and only an extension can do this.

    You can get a second set temporarily by switching to Private Browsing mode and keep the current session open, but that still allows you to only one access one account at the time and you need to login again after reverting to the first account by stopping PB mode.

  • I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

    I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

    winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

  • FF 12 does not open attachments for yahoo email

    FF recently updated and since then I have not been able to open attachments in yahoo email.
    I know it's FF because it does not happen in IE or chrome.
    I have used FF for years and it is my browser of choice. However if I can not address this issue I will have to pick another browser.

    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

    Thank you so much for trying to help. I really appreciate it.
    I understand that you can't get a virus by opening an email, but it seems way too circumstancial! This is my third mac -- because unlike PC -- I never had a problem. I understand this problem is not with my macbook, because every other website works fine -- it's hotmail!

  • OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

    With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
    Thanks
    Katherine

    I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
    For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
    Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
    This has worked for me.
    Hope this helps.

    can not open attachment on my email

    Hi,
    Can you save them ? What are the file formats (after .) of the attachments. Depending the file formats, you need software to be able to open them (most of them are free).

  • HT5622 can i open more than one email address

    Can I open more than one email address on my icloud.  I need a second address for work. Do I need a second appleID?

    You can have only one iCloud email account for each iCloud account.  You can create alias addresses liked to your account, but they will all deliver email to the same iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).
    If you want a separate email account, you will need to create a second iCloud account.

  • TS3899 All of a sudden, I can't open links in my emails.  Not just yahoo, but others as well.

    For the last 2 or 3 weeks, I haven't been able to open links in my emails.  This includes personal & business accounts.  One is Yahoo & the other is Outlook Exchange.  I've never had any problem before.  It's only on the IPad.  I have 2 other tablets not IPads, a Samsung smartphone, & I have no problem on them.  I can't think of anything I've changed that would cause the problem.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is and how I can fix it?

    Hey irishman41!
    You may want to try forcing Mail to quit, if you haven’t yet:
