What is wrong with yahoo mail?

I open yahoo mail app and nothing is showing in the inbox? Nothing showing in the sent folder or draft folder. What is wrong with yahoo mail?

I have not sign into yahoo mail for some time and now nothing is showing there what is wrong with yahoo mail?
 
Penguin has a point:
Have you tried logging into the web-based version of yahoo, to see if that is working for you?

For years, I've used email providers (ISPs and other) that have "off-loaded" their email functions over to the yahoo email system.

And for years, I've found that the yahoo servers and system can sometimes get finicky with Apple's Mail.app.

OP:
What version of the OS are you using?

Also:
You could try going to the "Internet accounts" pane in system settings
and then
Delete and re-create the email account for Yahoo.
IMPORTANT: doing this will NOT delete your emails -- it just re-does the account settings.

Something else:
On older versions of the Mac OS, it seemed to me that the OS itself (and the Mail.app) was not capable of dealing with something in the authentication process that yahoo required.
In this case, I had to go to yahoo's site and create something called "an application-specific password" to get Mail to work. It was a real pain to get working...

If I sign into yahoo mail using the browser not the app it is still not displaying any thing.
 
If the problem exists in Webmail, then it's Yahoo you need to talk to about fix. It's not your Apple device or software.
