Hello and good day!
I am having a problem with my email at yahoo. I try to attach some files but when I attach them some of the files that I selected won't attach to the message. I tried to refresh the page and attach again. However, it ended up with the same effect. It cannot add another file to the message.
What can I do to fix this?
Cannot attach files in yahoo mail
Try to make .ZIP or .RAR of your files and attach that one ZIP or RAR file with your message. When you try to attached more files with your message, yahoo gives this error. You should attach one file instead of more files in the shape of ZIP.
Your problem will be resolved.
Take care.
Cannot attach files in yahoo mail
Attachment problem with yahoo mail may be for several reasons.
1. Large file size because normal attachment of yahoo mail allow only 10 MB of file size to be attached. So, if your file size is more than 10 MB you can't attach it normally.
To attach files over 10 MB install yahoo application "Attach Larger Files". You will be able to attach files. Here is a screen shot of the application.
2. Attaching .exe files may cause problems. Yahoo mail won't allow you to add files with .exe extensions. In that case you must make a zip file of those .exe files. I prefer to always use zip files for mail attachments.
3. For files like 8-9 MB yahoo will took time to respond to attach the file, please be patient & wait.
If still you face difficulties then these may be the reasons:
-
Slow Internet Connection
-
Browser Problem. In this case I will suggest you to use IE8, Mozilla Firefox 5, RockMelt etc.
-
Slow CPU speed. This can be happen when so many programs running in background & slows down your PC. Try to stop those programs & try again.
I hope it will help you to solve your problems.
Best of Luck.

The file might be infected with a virus or have had the named changed. Will affect the shortcut when you try to use it. Try to open it and save it someplace else and see if that works? If not try a virus scan to see what you find? what type of file is it anyway.

Hello Raven,
From what I noticed your problem occurs when you attach several files to your messages at yahoo mail.
Here are some reasons that you are not able to completely attach files:
You could be experiencing slow internet connection. Having slow internet connection could sometimes corrupt files that are being attached. It could also often stop the transfer of files being attached to the message.
Yahoo could be experiencing some issues or are conducting maintenance. Often times yahoo conducts maintenance by country or certain dates of their database.
Your computer could have some technical issues with file transfer.
If your computer gets too slow. Files transfers also known as uploading can be interrupted or corrupted.
You can fix your problem by checking if those reasons are present.
