My email messages on yahoo are gibberish

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:

  1. Check your email settings: Ensure that your email settings are correct. Go to Yahoo Mail settings (gear icon > Settings) and check the following:
    • Make sure your account is set to use the correct language and region.
    • Verify that your email address is correct and not set to receive emails in a different language.
  2. Check for spam filters: Yahoo has a built-in spam filter that might be causing the issue. Try the following:
    • Go to Yahoo Mail settings (gear icon > Settings) > Filters.
    • Check if any filters are set to automatically delete or move emails to a specific folder.
    • Try disabling any filters that might be causing the issue.
  3. Check for encoding issues: Sometimes, emails can get encoded incorrectly, causing gibberish text. Try the following:
    • Go to Yahoo Mail settings (gear icon > Settings) > More Settings > Email Display.
    • Ensure that the "Character encoding" is set to "UTF-8" (default).
  4. Check for email client issues: If you're using an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, try the following:
    • Check if the email client is set to use the correct language and encoding.
    • Try disabling any plugins or add-ons that might be causing the issue.
  5. Contact Yahoo support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Yahoo support for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the problem or reset your email settings.
  6. Try a different email client: If you're using a web-based email client, try accessing your Yahoo email account using a different client, like the Yahoo Mail app or a different web browser.
