Hello, I've always been able to click on an email in Yahoo Mail so it opens and I can read it. Now I can't. When I click on a new message, a tab opens but I cannot see or read the email even when I click on that tab. I can't figure out how to get help from Yahoo Help. It's VERY hard to navigate and it seems there is no way to add a new message in the forums.

The ONLY way I can now read them is to right click on a new message and choose "Open Link In New Tab". I don't want to have to do this every time I have a message.

I really want and need to be able to open and read my emails. Can you help? Thank you!

Well, if holding down the shift key, DOES NOT start a new tab, then there is a mis-configuration in the browser, or some other setting has been "MANGLED".

It is that simple, the email works correctly, it is the setting on the PC that have changed. What browser are you using, on what operating system?

The problem is solved. I did what I had to do and my mail opens as it did before now. Thank you very much for all your suggestions and responses. Have a nice rest of the week and weekend.

Are you trying to check your emails from your browser? If so, clearing cache and cookies should resolve the issue.

Try this, before clicking on the mail, hold down the SHIFT key.

The only thing holding down the Shift key did was to put a check in the box by the email.....like you do when you want to delete it or move it. I never had to do anything before but click on my emails to read them. Now I can't. Nope, the Shift key "fun impossible" thing did not work. But thanks for responding. I hope someone can help me solve this....I don't know why it quit working. It worked just this morning.

It should open another window to load the page into. There are more issues than what you are describing. Perhaps user error?

It sounds as though the space is being hit. Typically, space bar is the key to make selections.

Okay ac3mark.....I tried what you said. NO....I did NOT hit the space bar. I've been working with computers long enough to know what a Shift key is. ANY key I try only puts a check by the email....like I said before. The only way I can now read an email is to RIGHT click it and choose "Open Link In New Tab"

I'm not trying to be a smart a** here, but I'm not a novice youngster....I'm 74 and have been using computers for years now. I just want to know what happened to my email and how to fix it. But thanks SO much for responding. I appreciate you taking the time. :-)
