Yahoo email(how) can upgrade my "basic" subscription?

Felt forced by repeated intrusions to come over to this new Yahoo service. In order to choose between basic and a more expanded service, I started with basic, since no explanations were involved into what I was getting into. Now I find many previous conveniences dropped. Thanks

    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 OPTIONS. Some users have indicated they can access their account to change how many per page,but I do not have it...

    Note: I have seen that this is the format you should use if you have a slow/old computer. In some cases you can only access Basic because of certain browsers (old ones)and if the account older is not 13 years of age.

    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.
