    It is no longer possible to set a fixed number of email messages to display per page, as Yahoo! Mail now allows you to scroll through all messages in a folder with infinite scroll--as you scroll down a folder's message list, more messages in that list load automatically.

    Yahoo is moving everyone using Yahoo Classic to the new Yahoo Mail. Here's an overview of the new Yahoo mail - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN...

    You can switch back to Yahoo Classic by using this link - http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic You will need to bookmark this link and use it every time you want to use Yahoo Mail Classic.

    It should work until July 9, 2013. At that time you will be required to update from Yahoo Classic to the new Yahoo Mail in order to access your email.

    This link doesn't appear to work for everyone, especially those running Windows XP. Try these basic troubleshoting steps if the link doesn't work - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD...

    It seems that some of the Yahoo executives are pleased that Yahoo Mail now has the dubious distinction of being the only web-mail service that does not provide page navigation.

    For that you will need to switch from full featured to Basic.

    Sign in to Yahoo Mail

    Click the gear icon in the upper right corner

    - select Mail Options

    Scroll down the page to "Switch now" and select "Basic".

    :)
