I had the same problem, which had to do with my anti-virus (Trend Micro). I had to go into Virus Controls; then Protection Against Viruses; click on Settings and uncheck the box that said "Threats in Web mail attachments". Remember, Yahoo uses Norton to download attachments so you can't have two virus protections "running" at the same time.
I can't open the email attachments on my yahoo emails. I keep getting the error message saying that the URL server could not be found on this system. is there anything I can do to fix this I am not a computer person so I wouldn't know when to look for things to make changes. Please help I have called everyone and no one knows what the problem is thanks.

Unable to download images as attachments to my, Yahoo xtra email. The image reaches the attach panel, but the download does not terminate
I had the same problem and could not open attachments in Yahoo email. I went to Microsoft and found a solution.
Go to Internet Explorer and disable the Add Ons.
They are under the Tools and the Manage Add-Ons. I disabled all of them and then checked my email and the attachment opened. I then went back and enabled 1 at a time until I found the one that caused the problem. Mine happened to be under Mcaffee, the proxy, so all others could be enabled again. I left the proxy one disabled and everything is good again. Hope this helps you.

URL- Uniform Resource Location (specifies where the identified resource is available and the protocol for retrieving it)
try to contact yahoo's customer suport, and they should be able to help you with that
it could be an antivirus program that makes the problem, but try contacting them

and how do you contact yahoo?
Is there a way to tell Yahoo not to use Norton Anti-Virus for download scan? Someone in the forum mentioned "Virus Controls" but I don't see it in my Yahoo options anywhere.
People have asked and I haven't read the answer yet, so I'll ask again...If you only have Norton and you cannot open your received attachments, nor can anyone open yours, what can you do? This was not always a problem but, has been, for the past few months. It was this way in IE 7 so I upgraded to 8 and it's still doing it.
Can anyone figure this out?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Do you have any other protection programs for internet threats other than Norton, such as anti-spywares or anti-malwares? Perhaps one of those may be blocking Yahoo Mail. On one of my machines, I have Norton 360 version 3, SuperAntiSyware, and Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware running, and I have not had any problems downloading attachments from Yahoo Mail. Also, if you use Windows, what level is your Security set at in the Internet Options?
so what do we do if we dont have the "trend macro" or whatever.
how do we shut this thing off. Will the problem disappear if I load Norton anti-virus, which I recently bought but havent installed?

I'm having the same problem unable to open attachments/pics since this paty fall. I'm thinking about going to another email service. Why doesn't Yahoo Tech fix this problem.
Somebody suggested changing to m.yahoo.com/mail which they said has no Norton Anti Virus program.
This would make sense since my computer has an anti virus program and all the other security necessary.
Another suggestion was that a computer's anti virus program and Norton is too much anti virus and makes opening attachments a problem.

i keep trying to send pics and the attachments wont upload for hours. just says attaching but not attachment completed. Try the send button, the awnser is attachment not finished. Could you help me fix it?
I had the same problem of downloading attachments from my Internet Explorer on Yahoo Mail, so I opened a new browser with Google Chrome and everything is back to normal; I got ride of Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox since. I must say Google is easy and simple and you don't have to click this and that; fast it is.
Its a simple fix. Get rid of Internet Explorer. It's a POS. I had the same problems with not only yahoo email, but others as well. (gmail too) ONCE I LOADED GOOGLE CHROME, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!
I have tried to get into my hotmail attachment it says run I hit it and it does nothing I hit save it willn't open either I get I got window vista my daughter got a laptop and she can get into it why cann't I

we can get information how to download the attachment from receiving mail but you can highlight the link so user can take first eye on it. I also have some information on a http://yahootips.com/Yahoo-mail-tips/Email-Attachments.aspx email attachments If this can helpful to users it is good.
i'm also encountering opening up the yahoo mail web page, opening and sending emails, and attaching regular-size attachments. take note that i'm encountering these problems only with the yahoo mail. I have no problem whatsoever with other websites like cnn and all the rest. that simply indicates that this technical problem is solely and limited to yahoo mail only. i've already at least 3 email complaints to yahoo mail and I got an initial response. they told me to take prntscrn the problems and send to them. I exactly did it but got no more communication. it's disgusting and perhaps they dont bother to address the issues due to their incompetence. it's disappointing. the problem with yahoo mail only began the 3 weeks and never had it before.
use google chrome browser.....much faster....and doesnt give half the stupid problems that internet explorer causes

I just wanted to share with everyone the information I have worked out after trying hansonbrothershockeychick's advice, and reading this thread. Please pardon me for such a wordy post.
How to have both attachments and security:
This solution is for Trend Micro Internet Security (2009/version14), but the basic idea (to set up an exclusion to the protection against web-threats and/or webmail attachments, a.k.a. "allow list," "whitelist," "trusted sites," or "safe list") should work with most web protection software and anti-malware that appear to interfere with Yahoo Mail attachments. (Later on how to figure which software is blocking.)
* First, from Trend Micro's IS main console, open "Internet & Email Controls" in the left column.
* Click on "Protection Against Web Threats" to expand it (if it isn't already), and click "Settings."
* Click on "Approved Websites," and then "Add."
* Copy and paste http://"216.252.121.32/us.f455.mail.yahoo.com/ya/" without the quotes to the "Add the address (URL)..." box.
* Click "OK," and "OK" again, and then another "OK" to Trend Micro's helpful reminder.
(You can now activate both "Internet & Email Controls">"Protection Against Web Threats," and "Virus & Spyware Controls">"Settings...Against Virus...">"Threats in Web mail attachments.")
If for some reason you are having trouble copying and pasting (yes, some people do), then try this two parter.
* Get to the "Approved Websites" page (see earlier steps) and click "Add."
* Click "Import addresses (URLs)..." and select the line that begins with http://"216.252.121.32"...
* Click "OK." (You're not done yet.)
* Highlight by clicking the 216.252.121.32 line in the "Approved Websites" list.
* Click "Edit."
* Delete the "securedownload" off the end of the URL.
* Click the three "OK"s.
For other protection programs, the principle is the same. You want to dig around to find the URL/website exclusion list regarding web threats, malware, spyware, and/or attachments. Then add 216.252.121.32/us.f455.mail.yahoo.com/ya/ or at least 216.252.121.32 to the list. Of course, if you have more than one protection program running, then you would first have to find which one is blocking Yahoo Mail. The sure, and old fashion way is to turn off or disable every protection program. Then check to see if you can download an attachment from Yahoo Mail. Next, close your web browser, turn on only one protection program, and test again. Repeat closing the browser and turning on the protection programs one by one until you can't download your attachment.
I hope this helps. I will put a copy of this post in the other similar thread by Goe.
