I can not download attachments using Yahoo, why ?

But I can forward mail to my Hotmail acct. Then I can download
the attachments. How do I fix this?

I recently had this issue suddenly crop up. I had just upgraded to Norton 2008. To troubleshoot, I disabled all 3rd party IE browser plug-ins (Tools-Internet Options-Advanced-uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions") and restarted IE and found that attachments downloaded as usual. Then I re-enabled 3rd party extensions and went back and started disabling the plug-ins one by one (I started with Symantec plug-ins as I guessed Norton was the culprit) and found a plug-in that caused the problem ("Norton Confidential" filename: coIEPlg.dll). You can disable plug-ins by going to Tools-Manage Add-ons, select an enabled plug-in and click the disable radio button. This will probably require closing and restarting IE afterward.

I don't know whether this is specifically the cause of your problem or not but it is probably some plug-in interfering with the file download. I went around and around with Norton on this (they actually told me it was my ISP's problem!) until I finally got someone at Norton to admit that there was a bug... but only AFTER I found the solution and told them I knew what was the cause (and by the way, Yahoo techs helped greatly with this.... and for free).

I have exact same problem - for me it also works fine when sending the mail to hotmail, and downloading it from there.

I don't gen an error when downloading, but the download dialog box never shows the status bar, and just newer download the file...

Is there any solution out there?
