I want to change back to yahoo classic email from New yahoo mail, I cant see the option to go back,help me?

Hello there,

There are SEVERAL options available to you. There’s only TWO versions of Yahoo! Email left, Classic and the new Regular. Yahoo! has eliminated all other versions.

#1) THREE links that worked today, September 11, 2011, (I have 3 more if these stop working) that’ll RETURN and launch your email back to the ORIGINAL Classic Mail, but you may need to continue clicking on the links each time you log in. Bookmark them, save to your favourites or email them to yourself.

http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic

If you click on the links and it doesn’t automatically open to Classic mail, copy & paste the address from your browser into a new window, and press enter.

If for some reason, these links do not work, please send me an email via the Yahoo! Answers secure email system, and I will send you a different link. (We don’t see each other’s email addresses.)

A while back as I was checking to see if they were still functioning at a friend’s, one of those links above launched into a full page of advertising for the new mail, in the small print ¾ of the page down and to the right there was an option to click that said ‘Return to Classic’. Immediately took a screen shot and saved it as a picture, and I have had other friends do the same.

This is what it LOOKS like: https://sites.google.com/site/classicyastuff/ (Link takes you to a website I MADE to share with you so that you could see what the screen looks like). USA & Canadian friends logged in and expected ‘Click here to continue to Classic mail was NOT there. They clicked on everything except for going to the new, and found that clicking on HELP led them to pages that allowed to go to Classic again.

The report from Yahoo! is that you will need to choose EVERY TIME you open your email to stay with Classic mail, and click on the proper link until September 19, 2011, but the date keeps changing over the last few weeks.

#2 Numerous solutions for various browsers and different versions of Windows people use, this is the best solution. Link to: is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201107...

The link is to an answer given by another person, Katie M, who posted a very good answer that addresses multiple browsers and Windows here on Yahoo! Answers to help you switch back.

From what other Yahoo! users have said & from what I’ve read on some other Answers posts, disabling the scripting and lowering the resolution does NOT permanently work on a number of computer, primarily those running WINDOWS 7. You will need to either disable scripting or lower resolution EACH time you log in. For others it DOES continue to work, running Windows XP, VISTA, etc.

#3 Let Yahoo! know that you would like the original Yahoo! Classic instead of the new. Email them daily. Link is below.

#4 Should you choose to keep working with the new mail there are a number of things you can try to make it work better. Update your Adobe Flash Player, and Java script. Check for updates for your version of Windows. Check for updates for your browser (s) Internet Explorer (IE), Safari, Google Chrome, Modzilla Firefox etc. Clear out your cache, cookies, temporary files and browsing history. The easiest method to clean out those files is press simultaneously Ctrl, Shift and Delete keys while your browser window is still OPEN. This also deletes your passwords and banking information. View this page for information: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache

#5 Consider trying an alternate browser.

#6 I used to suggest purchasing a Yahoo! Plus account, because there USED TO BE an option to go back to Classic, but that option is NOT there anymore. I found that out as I was trying to answer a question for another Yahoo! user. After numerous attempts of trying to reach chat, I was finally able to get through. (More info on my profile page.)

Asked during/while they switched it back for my reasons, and that I should provide a list right then & there. Have your list ready to copy and paste into the chat window. You’ll also need to give them answers to your security questions, DOB, alternate email address, cell phone, etc. to confirm you are who you are. I changed the answers to all my security questions since.

Direct link to chat page, you will have to wait for it to load before the chat window shows up: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/forms_...

All the best to you, and I hope that this helped you.

If you've "upgraded" Yahoo mail switch back to the Classic for the time being. Most of the problems people are having is BECAUSE of the new Y Mail. Most likely including the problem you're having now

The New "Improved'' (sic) Mail is Very very Buggy, Unstable & a pain in the butt & There's Several Solutions To go back to Y Classic Mail. There are literally Thousands & Thousands of users complaining they can't use their mail properly. At Least One of These Solutions will work either Permanently or Temporally to get You in Your Mail so you can Manage it for now.

It's a lot of words but some folks are PC illiterate & I don't Know What Group You're in.

If your previous version was the "New Mail", then you MAY be stuck with it & you can't get it back Permanently. Solutions for you below

Simple Solutions:

**PERMANENT SOLUTION** (ONLY if you have NOT "upgraded" Yet)

To get back to the Classic version you'll have to lower the resolution on your PC to the point where it won't support the "upgraded" version.

To do this Right click on a blank space on your desktop & choose "Properties". Select the "Settings" tab. Move the slider that says "Screen resolution" all the way to the left (or Below 1024 by 768 pixels) Click OK. You may have to restart your PC (depending on your settings)

Note: I'm running XP & Some have said it didn't work in Windows 7 for them. Some it does

In Windows 7:

Go to Control panel >

Display >

Adjust resolution on the left side of the screen & change it Below 1024 by 768 >

Then follow the rest of my info

After rebooting or logging into your Y mail account like normal - while in this new low screen resolution, you'll be asked to upgrade. Do so & click OK or upgrade (don't worry). When you're in the new mail you'll brought to a page that tells you the resolution is to low. It'll give you a few choices. Choose the "last one" which will say something like 'go back to the previous version you were using'. Click that & you'll be brought to your old classic mail. Now you can change your screen resolution like it was before. This should be permanent - not just a one time fix

**TEMP SOLUTIONS** (If you HAVE already "Upgraded" to the new Yahoo mail)

You can use these two links though it's only a temp fix & you'll have to use them every time to access the Classic version. Put them in your bookmarks or favorites for easy access. (All the links do the same thing)

or

http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome

If the links don't work & open up Y Original Classic Mail then copy/paste the address in a new window or tab & press enter.

To Switch Back...

click on this link for the switch back.but as

with everything there is a snag.You need to put

it into your favourites and click on it every

time you want to go to the classic mail page.

OR.

Dropping the screen resolution will do it

Click on Start-control panel-appearance & theme-

display-settings

then slide the level indicator to its lowest and

click on Yes.

And then turn it back on,when your back to

Then if you have Yahoo Mail Plus you have the option

I have done everything to try to get back to the classic e-mail, I hate the new one, it I don't get help on this I will change to another company.

the only solution i can see is to drop yahoo and go to another search engine it sucks but they (yahoo) could care less. which is obvious by their lack of real journalist and their perpetual bad habit of not listening to their readers and continual lack of research done by said so called journalist. always only having half a story of taunting pictures and pictures never there. actually, they just did us a huge favor. good by yahoo hello google and i hate google so i am off to Bing. wait they also suck. OK, fire fox? i know i will start my own. by by
