    A VERY large number of users agree, me included. A "switchclassic" link worked until this week, then stopped. WE, THE CUSTOMERS, WANT Yahoo Classic Mail. HOW DO WE GET THERE?

    Yahoo Classic

    Yahoo is moving everyone using Yahoo Classic to the new Yahoo Mail. The new features include an ad bar at the bottom of the page and a continuous email scroll, replacing the page view. You can switch back to Yahoo Classic by using this link - http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic . I'd bookmark it and use it every time you want to check your mail.

    This link should work until July 9, 2013. Yahoo states you will not be able to access your email after that date unless you upgrade to the new Yahoo mail.

    Hey Victor -

    Once you have upgraded to the new Yahoo! Mail, it is no longer possible to switch to an earlier version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Older versions of Yahoo! Mail are being phased out over the next few weeks, so all users must upgrade.

    We are always looking for ways to improve Yahoo! Mail, and we consider customer feedback to be a valuable resource.
