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.

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

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.

    See response that Don Varnau has regularly shared in responses to questions the last few weeks.

    "There isn't a solution per se. At present, the workaround is to read these messages at https://mail.yahoo.com or at https://login.aol.com/ with a browser."

    I've been going to https://mail.yahoo.com to see my emails that are in code. It is frustrating to get so many yahoo emails in code and having to deal with the extra step of going to another site. I also worry about security when doing this. Unless a fix is developed by Microsoft soon, I will probably change my yahoo email address and go through all the hassle of notifying all contacts of the change.

    I am having this problem, but my email is at AOL. Started the same time as other complaints. Can only read

    them by going to AOL.com. Can not use email app on laptop, anymore.
