Not sure what is the workaround for this problem?

Hi Jay,

There is no way around this problem apart from simply changing all email addresses. From what I have been able to gather, at the moment you just cannot use Yahoo email addresses with salesforce. In my special case, I created a community user and the email wasn't sent because the community email was also my yahoo email address. So when I reset the password to trigger the email send gain nothing happened. After changing the community email to a Gmail email address, the community member was able to receive the email and set his password.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Nagendra

This may not necessarily be your problem. May be Yahoo is not able to parse your body.

I would try to different domains. Outlook, mail.com, gmail. if all these work, there may be special case with yahoo. Yahoo has different versions.. See by switching to yahoo classic if it would work. (BTW Yahoo sucks!!)

Use the Yahoo Mail Backup Tool to solve the Email Send out to Yahoo is not working issue. This utility backup Yahoo mailboxes into your PC, Hard Drive, USB Drive, and many other locations. Moreover, it also permits the user to export Yahoo mail into PST, PDF, EML, TXT, etc., file formats.

Yes, to counter this issue, first, we need to backup our Yahoo emails with the help of a secure and reliable Yahoo Backup Tool. After that, we can try the methods to fix this issue. Recently, I have faced another issue in Yahoo Mail where I couldn't sign into my Yahoo Mail account after entering the correct login credentials. Then I refer to an informative guide that explains all the troubleshooting methods to fix Yahoo Mail Sign In problems. In case you are facing this issue then go through this informative article to resolve this issue. But keep in mind that you should have a backup of your data before using any troubleshooting method. This way, your data will be secured.

You can try MacSonik Yahoo Backup Tool (https://www.macsonik.com/yahoo/backup/) to solve the Yahoo Mail not Working Problem (https://www.macsonik.com/blog/solve-yahoo-mail-not-working-on-mac/). It is the most advanced and secure utility to backup and converts Yahoo emails into 20+ file formats and email clients. The Yahoo backup tool maintains the original folder hierarchy and high data security throughout the backup process and also removes duplicate emails without any data alteration. Users can additionally set the custom folder name and the location of the resultant file before the conversion process.

After reading over all this. It seems like it's more toward sending to their personal email. Even though Jay has even said, but "The email body is blank to customers"

However, I am sure there are more cases like ours where we send emails to clients.

We are constantly getting emails back that their email is blank. When our Activity history displays the information that was put into the email. And it didn't come through on their end.

Has a fix or workaround been discovered yet?
