How do you get the mail classic back?

Mail new will not work, must use classic. how do I get new back?

  • I have been using mail new for several weeks on a new Dell machine with WINDOWS 7, and I prefer “new” to “classic” by a large margin. As of this weekend, mail new loads, but drops out almost instantly. The screen that comes up says “OOPS”, and “client side error”. I have tried everything the screen suggests, and only reverting to mail classic does anything. I also have a Dell with Windows XP, and this problem is not present. From classic I can switch back to new, but nothing works, and “loading updates” or “loading mail” symbols appear, and never stop spinning. Do you have any further suggestions to allow mail new to be functional on my Win 7 machine?

  • Answer:

    I have heard that Yahoo will switch it for you if you contact them. There is live chat. It sometimes takes a few seconds for the chat icon to appear. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/forms_index.html This is a link to return to Classic Mail. The only problem is that you must continue to use it or you revert back to Regular. http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic Here is the help screen with that link. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/context/migrationv2.html It has been discovered that turning off Javascript will allow you to return and the change is permanent. For IE go to tools ↬ internet options ↬ security. Click on the "custom level" button, go to the scripting section and disable active scripting. For Firefox go to tools ↬ options ↬ content. Uncheck "enable Javascript". For Safari go to settings ↬ preferences ↬ security. Uncheck "enable Javascript". When you go to Yahoo mail it will indicate that you must use Classic and will give a link. Once done you can return to the previous Javascript settings. ʎəɿʞɹɐq  ̊ ͜͡● ̊
