Yahoo is working on a new email platform and is encouraging users to switch. I receive a link in the lower left corner when I open my email account.

Whenever Yahoo rolls out a "new and improved" email I've always experienced glitches for the first few months. This might be what you're experiencing. Another thought is how large is the attachment? I think that Yahoo imposes a 25MB maximum size limit on emails including any attachments.

Is there a size limit for receiving attachments? - Yahoo Help Community

If it's any consolation I've been experiencing issues with both the old format and new format emails. Some of my "glitches" include: emails not being sent (timing out); draft emails not showing up in Draft folder; receiving random "no internet connection" notices; trying to sign out of my only Yahoo email account and receiving prompt to add another Yahoo email; fonts changing for no apparent reason while composing emails; and the list goes on.

The only other suggestion I have is to post your issues with the Yahoo Help Community forum. They have some knowledgeable volunteers and the occasional visit by an actual Yahoo email support staff member.
