WHY IS YAHOO MAIL NOT SENDING OR RECEIVING EMAILS?

The overuse of an email service like Yahoo is understandable, especially since it is one of the most trusted email services in the world. But it can get frustrating at times with Yahoo mail not receiving emails. This isn’t a minor glitch as it can bring down all Yahoo email services to a halt. You can apply the following solutions when Yahoo mail isn’t sending or receiving emails.

8 CAUSES OF YAHOO MAIL NOT SENDING EMAILS

The following factors are responsible when you are unable to send or receive emails on Yahoo:
  1. Yahoo server is down in your country or globally.
  2. Your Yahoo account is not functioning correctly.
  3. Incorrect filters have been set in your Yahoo email.

  7. System errors
  8. Few contacts have been blocked in your Yahoo account.

 

10 SOLUTIONS TO FIX YAHOO MAIL ERRORS

If you are unable to send emails on Yahoo, the following methods can help you to solve the error:

1.  CHECK FOR INTERNET ISSUES

The first thing to do when Yahoo mail is not working properly is to check for the internet connection. First, check for the network connectivity on your WiFi and your mobile data. If there is no issue with the internet, then proceed to the next step. 

 

2.  CHECK FOR THE STATUS OF THE YAHOO SERVER

Another vital thing to check is the status of the Yahoo server. Often, Yahoo servers get hit globally and cause email functions to stop. Once you are sure about the status, move on to the next step.

 

3.  OPTIMIZE THE BROWSER

The cookies and caches stored in the browser have a significant role in how Yahoo mail works. You can also clear the history from your browser and restart it. After restarting, you will have to log in again to your Yahoo mail. Once you do, check if you can send and receive emails. 

 

4.  CHECK THE SPAM FOLDER

There is another possibility of why you are not receiving emails on Yahoo. Yahoo has an automatic feature that sends all unwanted emails to the spam folder. Check in the Spam folder if the email is lying there. The next time, white list the email addresses of senders to never miss out on emails from them. 

 

5.  VERIFY BLOCKED EMAIL ADDRESSES

When you are unable to send or receive emails, it may be because you have unknowingly blocked their email addresses. Go to your Yahoo email account's Security and Privacy section and correct the blocked addresses list. 

 

6.  DISABLE YAHOO FORWARDING

Yahoo email gives its users the option of forwarding all emails to another account of their choice. If you have set this option in your account and forgotten about it, all your emails are landing in another account. Turn off the email forwarding feature from the Settings section and retrieve emails from the other account. 

 

ENDING NOTE

An important thing to remember is to check for the email filters and configuration of your Yahoo email account, browser, and device.
