* 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?

    Are you using Windows Mail or Outlook desktop? If you aren't sure, look at the lower left - if it looks like the blue, its windows mail. The gray one underneath is Outlook.

    If Outlook, which version and build of Outlook are you using? See File, Office Account for the information.
