Yahoo mail failed to send message
Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:
Check the basics
- Check your internet connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable and working properly.
- Check your email address and password: Double-check that your email address and password are correct.
- Check your email settings: Verify that your email settings are correct, including your SMTP server settings (if you're using a custom SMTP server).
Common issues and solutions
- Server error: If you're getting a server error, try the following:
- Check Yahoo Mail's server status page to see if there are any known issues.
- Try sending the email again later.
- Message size limit: If your message exceeds the maximum allowed size (25MB), try breaking it up into smaller messages or attaching files to a separate email.
- Attachment issues: If you're having trouble sending an attachment, try:
- Compressing the file to reduce its size.
- Using a different file format (e.g., PDF instead of DOCX).
- Sending the attachment separately.
- Spam filters: If your email is being flagged as spam, try:
- Checking your spam folder to see if the email was sent there.
- Whitelisting the recipient's email address or domain.
- Outdated browser or software: Ensure you're using the latest version of your browser and email client software.
- Firewall or antivirus software: Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the email sending process. Try temporarily disabling them to see if it resolves the issue.
Additional troubleshooting steps
- Clear browser cache and cookies: Clear your browser's cache and cookies to ensure you're not experiencing any browser-related issues.
- Try a different email client: If you're using a third-party email client, try sending the email using the Yahoo Mail web interface or a different email client.
- Contact Yahoo Mail support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Yahoo Mail support for further assistance.
