    You should post your opinion of the new Yahoo mail on the Yahoo Customer Feedback forum - https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/210695

    Yahoo has discontinued Yahoo Classic. As the article below says once the switch to the new version has taken place you can't go back to the previous version. The article also contain a link to an overview of the new email.

    If the new full version of Yahoo mail isn't for you, you should check out Yahoo Basic. Your email is displayed in page view (25 emails per page) and you have the standard First page, Next page, Previous page, and Last page controls.

    If you're in the market for a new email provider because you don't like either the full version or Yahoo Basic, I'm told that Inbox.com looks and works much like Yahoo Classic. If you don't like that one there are several more listed in the article below that you can try. You're bound to like one more than you like the new Yahoo mail.
