    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.

    When you send/receive messages you may

    Inbox and Sent folders when observing your

    emails.NOTE: your recipients will see your

    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
