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

Check your email settings

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "Settings."
  3. Go to the "Accounts" tab.
  4. Ensure that your email account is set to "POP" or "IMAP" and not "SMTP" only.

Check your email filters

  1. Go to the "Filters" tab in your Yahoo Mail settings.
  2. Look for any filters that might be causing the issue.
  3. Try disabling or deleting any filters that seem suspicious or unnecessary.

Check for email size limitations

  1. Yahoo Mail has a file size limit of 25MB for attachments.
  2. If you have an email with a large attachment, try breaking it down into smaller files or using a file compression tool.

Check for email formatting issues

  2. Try reformatting the email or re-sending it with a plain text format.

Try sending the email again
