    "Classic" mail is now gone. It has been replaced with 2 new versions, "full featured" or "basic". If you are having problems with the "full featured" version the first thing to do is clear all history and cache and restart. If that does not work you may have to use the "basic" version.

    The "full featured" version uses Javascript Ajax which can be a problem for older computers or a slow internet connection.

    There is now a continuous scroll in the "full featured" version for email. There are no longer pages. The page option is obsolete.

    The "basic" version it extremely limited. It does not have messenger, applications, filters, format bar along with its features, or continuous scroll. It is not the same as Classic.

    Here are pictures of the 2 versions:

    Regular - http://www.dmmarks.com/yahoo/regular.jpg

    If you want to go to the "basic" version 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".

    To switch back use the link to "switch to newest Yahoo! mail" at the top of the page.
