Fix the root cause of the sending issue

Yahoo Mail can't connect to the internet

This happens if you have a weak or no internet connection, or your device settings are blocking Yahoo Mail from accessing the internet.

  • Test your web browser to see if you have internet access.
  • If you do, check your device's help site for info on unblocking an app's internet access.

Something is wrong with the app's settings or install files

If something has corrupted the app, uninstall it and reinstall it to fix the issue.

There's something wrong on our end

If you're still unable to send after confirming the app has internet access and its been uninstalled and reinstalled, then there may be an issue on our end. Submit a log file for further investigation.
