Yahoo's new email format?
I was forced to click on this new Yahoo format and it stinks. That advertising ad is soooooo distracting. How can I get back on the old email page? Thank you

I have to admit that I did not like the New version when it first came out. Like me, if you just give it a chance and learn how it works, you will like it as much as the Classic. The below links should help.

Classic version is no longer available. You now have the New version or the Basic version of it. In addition...ALL of your emails are on one page. The best way I have found to scroll down through them is to place your pointer in the scroll box on the right side and ONE click to move your emails down/up one page and either holding down the pointer with the left click of your mouse or RAPIDLY clicking on the mouse to move the emails up/down RAPIDLY.

If you want to go to a "basic" version (not Classic which is gone) then select mail options under the gear icon in the upper right. On the "general" options page scroll to the bottom. There you have a choice of "full featured" or "basic". Click on SAVE when done. If you decide on the Basic format some features will be missing...open this link for details....

Note: for you that like only so many emails per page...use this. I do not see where you can determine how many per page, but you will have 25 per page(that is what I have)AND you will have page numbers in the upper right. Some answers have suggested you can change how many per page through OPTIONS, but I do not have it...

There is one option in the New format if you want fewer emails per page..starting with six...Hover your pointer over the GEAR...upper right...then MAIL OPTIONS...then place a check mark in the box left of "Enable Preview Pane" and click on SAVE...Once the screen is up you can increase the number of emails displayed by placing your cursor on the line just below the list(goes left to right)click and hold down the left click of your mouse and drag it down. Even though you have a few less emails than the normal view.....You will still have to scroll down through all your emails as they are ALL still on ONE page.

What a marvel as quickly as I opened my digital mail and replaced into counseled that it were replaced and that i does not have the skill to make the determination to apply the hot or the previous. How very DICTATORIAL of you. i'm very unhappy with the hot format. I deliver various team e-mails for a organization I belong to and don't have the time to pass into each and every digital mail seperately. The exhibit screen does not tutor the total message and it is too time comsuming clicking the arrows on the factor. Now i detect out that not surely anybody have been forced into this format. I truly have a pal that still has the previous format. This version of Yahoo digital mail isn't consumer friendly and too time ingesting. we ought to continuously have the alternative of which format we choose. If some adjustments at the instant are not made to splendid those problems, i would be forced to look someplace else.

The advertising is just part of the problem. They have grouped emails together if they have the same subject line. The result is complete confusion. It is completely linear. You can no longer take one email and follow up to the same people who were in the thread. Everything gets screwed up You can't find things as easily as before. I have no idea why they would take a very good program and make a monstrosity out of it. Yahoo needs to look at the people who were behind this. It looks like it was perhaps another company that was just trying to siphon off yahoo customers. Many people I know have left or want to leave. It is hard to switch email accounts and keep everyone informed or I would switch. I just don't understand why they at least don't offer a way to use the old program. They have blocked off any way to voice your opinion. I really think this is some kind of sabotage. Pisses me off everytime I can't find something or can't do something without a big hassle. Screw whoever the SOB was who pushed this crazy idea off on the people at Yahoo and screw them for making it impossible for people to voice their opinions.

I agree with all of this. Why did they change it? Some brain-dead 12 yr old nerd with no logical thought probably designed it. I haven't got time to list all the problems, but I can no longer find anything easily and the whole thing is a nightmare. That and the slow response time in Yahoo make me wonder what they are playing at.

Yahoo still doesn't get it. The new format is so stupid and worthless !!!!!!
If you respond to an email, you can't change the subject line. You have to collapse or it will show up the entire email.
The send button, text, color is at the bottom of the screen. Who is the moron who thought this ?????
Colors are useless. Red is Burgundy. Again, who is the moron ???????????????
Text is only small, medium, large, x-large. Again, who is the moron ????????????? We used to have a choice of 10, 12, 14 pt, etc., size.
If I reply to an email, the stupid message shows up in the in-box.
Every incoming message shows as from the sender name to me: why, why, why, why would the engineers @ yahoo be so stupid ???????????? I know it is coming to my company - you dimwits, nitwits, nincompoops @ yahoo.
If I want to search for a particular email, I can't because the new format so stupid and I have to waste my time opening every damn email to find the one I need !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do these idiot engineers @ yahoo every send emails OR are they just stupid to change formats for the sake of changing ??????????????????
