    Mr. C, the short answer is you can't go back to Classic, it is gone.

    However, there are two "work-arounds", one of which may work better for you. The closest to Classic is Yahoo Basic. I will tell you how to reformat for that, but I don't recommend it as you will lose several features such as spell check. The other option is a version of the new mail. With this option you will lose the threaded emails, you will be able to sort your emails by sender/subject, your name will be displayed instead of me, and it will be easy to edit any part of the email while replying/forwarding.

    Option Basic:

    -while on your mail page, hover your cursor over the gear icon on the upper right of the screen from the drop down menu select settings

    -from the left column select viewing mail, to the right side @mail version select basic

    -click the save button on the bottom left

    Option New Mail Version:

    -while on your mail page, hover your mouse over the gear on the upper right side of the screen

    -from the drop down menu select settings, select viewing mail from the left column, on the right side uncheck the options enable conversations

    -click save on the bottom left of the screen.

    I hope one of these options works for you.
