Issues with receiving emails in code for Yahoo Mail

I guess a few people are in the same boat here with unwanted coded emails. You are right extremely frustrating!! 100%

I also have uninstalled the app re-added my yahoo accounts. through the Yahoo mail app, no problem for me on Android with Samsung phone at all (So far...!).

I then logged in to my Yahoo account using the Microsoft Edge/Bing browser and logged in to my yahoo or email accounts and viewing them in proper receivable and readable form (No code showing) they were fine.

Let's hope this fix gets resolved soon!

Hi, Gerry C. It seems that there are more and more of us making noise about this. There are moderators who look at the posts. Perhaps this is not yet worthy of their attention. We'll just have to be the squeaky wheel and hope for the grease.

Thank you so much.

Hi kkaazz,

I must clarify my position regarding Windows 10 as it seems you misunderstood what I was implying.

I doubt anyone would consider Windows 10 hasn't had its problems but at least it has been running long enough for Microsoft to sort many of them out. The current issue we have been discussing is that relating to a few coded emails coming through on Yahoo Mail as received via Windows Mail. As others have experienced, if you go directly to Yahoo Mail via the web these emails are as one would expect, yet when they are opened through the Yahoo account setup in Windows Mail you get a coded version. In my experience it has only occurred when mail is sent by a specific company with whom I have had dealings but nevertheless it must have something to do with a bug in Windows Mail. I also have my Hotmail, Gmail and TalkTalk accounts setup in Windows Mail but thus far I have not experienced coded mail coming through on those.

My comments regarding not switching to Windows 11 has no direct bearing on the issue other than the fact that I have placed my trust in Windows 10 and prefer to keep it that way. My feeling is that Microsoft must surely be aware of the complaints relating to the Yahoo coded email issue and should have sorted it out regardless of whether it occurs in Windows 10 or 11.

Like so many others in this Community we are still waiting for Microsoft to get its act together and sort it out ... I'm not 'holding my breath' on this one.

Not all of my emails are coded but a large amount are not junk, I.e. the response you sent came through as coded text on my laptop but was able to open it on this IPad.

Professional and important emails are coming through as coded text and this is not acceptable, if they know there’s a bug then they need to fix it now!
