This thread concerns Yahoo mail being read on the Windows 10/11 Mail app. That's not clear in many of the posts in this thread.

Original post:

How do you correct the email to be read able as it looks like scrambled words and cannot read

Some of my yahoo mail comes in unreadable state some e mails are fine

This has been going on for some time and it seems others are having same problem is there a solution?

* Edit: As of 3 December 2023 the information below is still true.

There isn't a fix for this. At present, the workaround is to read these messages at https://mail.yahoo.com with a browser.

    Like you

    Ditch the app an use the website directly. Its a few more clicks but at least you can read the emails.

    I have two yahoo addresses and it happens with both of them.

    Both are fine via the Yahoo website or in the email apps on my phone.

    Will Microsoft ever fix this? Or tell us how to fix it? Has anyone figured it out?

    It is only happening with yahoo accounts - it started after yahoo upgraded their servers. Microsoft is working on it, but I don't have any information on when it is expected to be fixed.

    You have a couple of options: Use a different client or use the web browser.

    If you have office software, Outlook desktop software is a good option, eM client is a good replacement but is only free if you have 2 accounts - if you need to add more than 2, you need to pay for it.

    I have this problem as well, and it's been going on for months. I check back here periodically to see if there's a fix, but so far, nothing.

    This does not happen to every email, but I have yet to find the common denominator.

    This happens *only* in Windows Mail, the app that comes with Windows. And it only happens to my Yahoo mail. Gmail accounts are not affected.

    I have two yahoo addresses and it happens with both of them.

    Both are fine via the Yahoo website or in the email apps on my phone.

    Please see the post just above yours on this page.
