It makes no difference what you are using.
You cannot switch back to the older version once the
change has been made to the latest version.
======================================
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.
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.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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...
while in the INBOX view..click on SETTINGS...click on
VIEWING EMAIL.
Place a check mark left of BASIC......click SAVE.
NOTE: This format normally operates faster than the Full
Featured format.
If you decide on this format some features will be
missing.

If you like only so many emails per page...use the Basic
format......................................
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.

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

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.
NOTE; to place the check marks to the left of Enable
Conversations/show snipets.. click on VIEWING EMAIL.

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.
