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]

Why can't i make attachments with yahoo mail in the newest Firefox?

i use yahoo mail. in the old versions of firefox it works perfectly. i use now firefox 3.6.25 if i upgrade to the latest firefox, yahoo mail doesn't work anymore. i can't attach anything. the button 'attach' stays grey and unclickable. it is the reason i don't upgrade. can someone help me? o i work on a macbook pro, with mac os 10.6.8 running.

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, except that I did find a thread on the Apple Discussions forum about a similar problem with Safari and Yahoo mail attachments:

Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball<br>

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.

Cannot send emails on Yahoo mail. It works okay with Safari. I set default to Yahoo but still cannot send

Use MAC. Cannot send emails through Yahoo mail through Firefox but can send through Safari.
Also issue with Facebook. Using Firefox cannot sign out of account. Can sign out when using Safari.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

I have had difficulty with yahoo mail since the security update on Dec 23rd - have you? if so do you have a resolution? I can get into yahoo but then cannot open individual emails or folders!!!

I have had the problem of Yahoo! mail freezing (my computer freezing) with Firefox right after I boot up my computer and sign into my Yahoo! mail account. I have to either shut down my computer or use Control + Alt and press Delete to eventually bring up the Task Manager option. Then, once the choice for Task Manager comes up, I can click on cancel and Yahoo! mail and my computer have "un-frozen." I have followed all the recommendations for updating Firefox, clearing caches, checking if an Add-On is the problem, etc., as well as all the recommendations on Yahoo! help pages. Nothing has improved the situation to date. Firefox info says the problem is with Yahoo! Yahoo! says it is a browser problem. I just want the problem to be fixed.

Unable to send attachments with e mails.

Unable to attach anything to e mails before sending them. I closed down computer once and saved e mails to draft and tried again and it worked. However it is now impossible to send attachment with e mails. When you click attach the my documents folder does not open up? I am using Windows 10 software and O/S Windows XP home edition.

Mp3 file will always attach. When I hit send..the sending message will activate..then the e-mail will just sit there with the little spinning dots and say sending for as long as 10minutes or more and eventuall it will stop trying to send and have some kind of error message saying 'We encountered a problem'. This has been going on for over 2 years and several 'FireFOX' upgrades.
I switch over to Safari and use the same -email' and bingo..it sends in a few seconds.

Why can't mozilla work with yahoo to fix the problem of blank e mails?

Ok the only way i could read my messages in yahoo was to remove completely fire fox 8.0.1. and re-download fire fox 3.6.22, before i change back to 8 or higher, you need to work with yahoo mail, and others to fix the problem or it will happen again. sorry but your educated guesses about my current browser will not work until you fix he problem, because you want me to up date my browser, and that is my problem. you shouldn't make any guesses until you fully know what is going on. Stan

OK I read the link you posted and I tried changing dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;true and dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled;true to false, and back to true again. Nothing changed and I could not really understand the majority of the thread you posted, I am not a coder and I have no idea what any of that stuff even is.
I don't know how to "allow the plugin container process in the firewall" I googled it but all I find is more cryptic forum threads and I have no idea what any of it means.
Am I supposed to be looking at settings in my commodo program?
I am doing my best here, and trying to solve the issue, I really appreciate all your help. It is very frustrating because I am not familiar with browser settings and technical things relating to plugin containers and out of process plugins.
Thanks again for all your help, but nothing seems to be working.

Cannot send attachments with mail

All of a sudden I cannot longer send attachments using the Mail app in OS 10.8.4
Any attachment, any file, any type, using the iCloud server or my internet provider, Mediacom.
Any help?
Thanks.

This may seem a bit basic, but it has worked for me in the recent past - have you quit Mail, relaunched it and tried again? Or, if that doesn't help, try again after restarting the Mac.

Cannot send email from yahoo mail client

I cannot open or send or attach anything to my email in the yahoo mail. I know there's nothing wrong with the email because it works on my laptop, just not on my computer. Could there be a setting problem, or a cookie problem or something?
I also cannot open Bonjour to see my printer settings. Everything was working fine yesterday.

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Cannot send email with Yahoo! on iPhone

Since last evening (3rd May), I've been having intermittent issues sending email through my Yahoo! mail account. Common symptoms include a pop-up window stating:
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Typically, this is followed by the message being place in the Outbox.
Sometimes, the message actually does go out when the iPhone says that is could not send the message.
At others, after a very long period of time, the "swoosh" sound tells me that a message was sent.
This is a new symptom and I have not changed my mail settings at all. I have tried deleting my mail account and re-adding the same, but no help. I've tried sending email from another iPhone, same issue. I've also verified that this is not isolated to my account, since my wife was complaining about the same symptom on her phone using her Yahoo! email account.
Thanks in advance for any advise/help!
Kersi

Partially. Apple support recommended that I enable "push" for this account. This fixed the problemvery nicely, but it was a HUGE hog on the device battery! I've since then disabled the "push" option for my account and Yahoo! mail seems to be still OK, although it does seem to take a little longer than expected to send even small emails.

Cannot Sending attachments with GMail

I have an Ipod Touch 4th gen 32gig. I am able to send and receive e-mails from anyone with this mail program and my gmail account. However, I am not able to send e-mails with attachments. Upon sending a phot to someone, the e-mail went to my gmail Outbox and simply stayed there. In order to send it, I had to go into the outbox, click on edit and then clicked on send. Then it went. Help. I have the latest software installed 4.2.1 on my Ipod Touch and the latest ITunes software if that helps anyone.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try updating to iOS 4.3.1, which is now the latest software. If the problem persists, try restarting your iPod by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Hope this helps!

Firefox 35.0.1 still cannot allow attachments in Yahoo mail when IE 11 can allow it

Cannot send attachments in yahoo. Only says "edit attachments" How to send attachments

when I click "attachments" button in an email, it will not let me find one in documents. Just tells me that the button is to edit attachments. Also, attachments in received email will not forward to gmail.

If this was NetWare I would say that it sounds like a Winsock issue...
There was something about this with the March 08 release of GW7.0.3 but
it was fixed in the 7.0.3 HP1 - which of these two are you using?

Help please! How do I get Elements 8 to send photos with Yahoo mail? I get an error message.

I keep getting an error message saying, "The host Yahoo could not be found.

Unfortunately, you can't. The only options are the ones Adobe set up. If you want to use Yahoo mail, you have to use the Attachment button in your mail program instead of sending directly from PSE.
