* Moderator note: This thread is about Yahoo mail on the Windows 10/11 Mail app.

* Another Mod note: As of June 25, 2023...There isn't a fix yet. The workaround is to read these mails with a browser at https://mail.yahoo.com 

Same with AOL. Login at https://login.aol.com/and find Mail on the page and read mail on the web.

Since the last Microsoft update some of my Yahoo emails are coming this scrambled, like code, and unreadable. I can read them on my Iphone but not my laptop so I feel this is an update issue. Is there a way to fix this or is Microsoft working on a fix and new update?

    A work-round that usually works for me: I click on Reply, and it shows me a readable version.

    THIS HAS BOTHERED ME FOR 2 YEARS NOW, finaily created a fix

    I am using Windows mail in Windows 10.

    My 2 yahoo e-mail accounts from many but not all come in all scrambled up

    eg Norton, Craftsman etc.

    To solve this problem:

    I went to yahoo.com & opened an account

    there I entered my 2 e-mail address

    now by going there to YAHOO.COM, I go to my mail

    and all opens up with no scrambled letters,codes etc.

    HOPE THIS HELPS

    ******@yahoo.com
