    since you do not explain what particular problem you are having ....other than you cannot read it....I will give you this answer that should help you navigate the new format.

    For those that have been changed to the

    Newest format the below links will help

    somewhat. For what it does not cover

    you can ask specific questions to receive

    an answer. Once the change has occurred

    to your email format you cannot change it other than

    switching to the Basic Format.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Hover your pointer over the GEAR...upper right...

    click on SETTINGS...click on VIEWING EMAIL.

    Place a check mark left of BASIC......click SAVE.

    NOTE: This format operates faster than the Full

    Featured format.

    If you decide on this format some features will be

    missing.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    If you are using the Full Version format ALL of your emails

    are on one page...You just have to scroll down to see them.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    If you that like only so many emails per page...use this.

    I do not see where you can determine how many per page, but

    will have 25 or 50 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.. I say 25 or 50 per page because I have more

    than one email account..One of them has 25 per page..

    the other has 50 per page....I have no idea why this happens.

    In addition, to move from one page forward/backward click

    on the single arrow on either side of the page number..upper

    right. Clicking on the double arrow wil send you back to

    the start or end depending on which double arrow you click on.

    For your convenience this link is an overview of the recent

    changes to the email page. Many help links within.

    If you only see 5 or 6 emails in your inbox and when

    you open an email it will be displayed below the

    list of emails in your inbox and want to go back to

    the full view in your inbox hover your pointer over

    the GEAR...upper right...click on SETTINGS, then

    VIEWING EMAIL..scroll down to PREVIEW PANE..

    click on the down arrow..click on NONE...then SAVE.

    You can also go back and forth by clicking on VIEW

    above your inbox emails. It is in the drop down menu.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    EMAILS....deleting one and "show the next email "OR

    "Go back to the original folder". Going back to the

    original folder should be used if you do not want to

    open up the next email automatically. Useful if the

    next one happens to be Spam.

    Those options are available by hovering your pointer

    over the GEAR...upper right...click on SETTINGS...

    click on VIEWING EMAIL....and going down to

    "After moving a message". Clicking on the down

    arrow at the end of the box will bring up the other

    option...when done..click on SAVE.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    To display the options you can get by SORT BY

    DATE in the Older format do the following. Hover

    the pointer over the GEAR...upper right Click

    on SETTINGS....click on VIEWING EMAIL...remove,

    if any, check marks to the left of Enable

    Conversations/Show snipets...click SAVE when done.

    Now when your inbox is displayed click on VIEW

    above your emails on the right side to bring up the

    drop down menu with those options.

    Tabs is now back.. http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN...

    NOTE; to place the check marks to the left of Enable

    Conversations/show snipets.. click on VIEWING EMAIL.

    ...place the check mark in the box left of Enable

    Conversations...click on SAVE.

    You should do this so when you click on VIEW

    above the emails the drop down menu will be

    mostly different and you will know the

    different options and how to access the different views.

    NOTE; leaving the check mark to the left of

    Enable Conversations/show snipets will

    change the format as follows.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    When your inbox email list is displayed you will

    see part of the text following the Subject matter.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    When you Reply/Forward an email the original

    text will be ABOVE your added text.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    When you send/receive messages you may

    see "ME" instead of your email address in your

    Inbox and Sent folders when observing your

    emails.NOTE: your recipients will see your

    FROM name in the inbox and your email address

    when they open up the email...not "ME"...

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    If you receive more than one message with

    the same SUBJECT you might end up with one

    email displayed with a numeral after the senders

    names indicating how many you have. If you have

    different senders for the same subject all of the

    Senders will be listed.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I still have not figured out how to change the

    SUBJECT when you forward/reply to an email..Until

    that is solved you will have to remove the check

    marks as described above to go to the other format.
