Go back to yahoo classic?

How do I go back to classic email view with yahoo mail?

• I think the new format is great, but it doesn't have a feature that I found vital in the classic format. Therefore, I want to know if it is possible for me to revert back to classic view. I was able to before, put my cursor over the "From" column sender, and see the email address with out having to click on the email itself. I do not like that the whole email list is one big click. I liked having to be able to highlight the name of the sender, or the subject line, and not have the gap/space between those two to be considered one click. Therefore, could someone help me out if any of you know how to revert back to yahoo classic email? Thank you.

  Hello there, There are only TWO versions of Yahoo! Email left, Classic and the new Regular. All the other Yahoo Email versions Yahoo! has dropped and eliminated. There are several options available for you. #1) The are THREE links that worked today, August 27, 2011, (I have 3 more if these stop working) that will RETURN and launch your email back to the ORIGINAL Classic Mail, but you may need to continue clicking on the links each time you log in. It would be good to bookmark them, save to your favourites or email them to yourself. http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/switchclassic If you click on the link and it does not automatically open up to Classic mail, copy & paste the address from your browser into a new window, and press enter. If for some reason, these links do not work for you please send me an email via the Yahoo! Answers secure email system, and I will send you a different link. (I do not see your email and you do not see my email address.) A while back as I was checking to see if they were still functioning at a friend’s, one of those links above launched into a full page of advertising for the new mail, in the small print ¾ of the page down and to the right there was an option to click that said ‘Return to Classic’. I immediately took a screen shot and saved it as a picture, and I have had other friends do the same. This is what it LOOKS like: https://sites.google.com/site/classicyastuff/ (This link takes you to a site I MADE to share with you so that you could see what the screen looks like). Newest is a Canadian friend of mine logged in not long ago, and the expected ‘Click here to continue to Classic mail was NOT there. They clicked on everything except for going to the new, and found that clicking on help lead them to a page that allowed them to go on to Classic again. That picture is posted, but the original screen is not, sorry. The report from Yahoo! is that you will need to choose EVERY TIME you open your email to stay with Classic mail, and click on the proper link until September 19, 2011, but the date keeps changing over the last few weeks. #2 Numerous solutions for various browsers and different versions of Windows people use, this is the best solution. Link to: is http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110711182440AA5aBbB The link is to an answer given by another person, Katie M, who posted a very good answer that addresses multiple browsers and Windows here on Yahoo! Answers to help you switch back. From what other Yahoo! users have email to me and from what I have read on some other Yahoo! Answers posts, disabling the scripting and lowering the resolution does NOT permanently work on a number of computer, primarily those running WINDOWS 7. You will need to either disable scripting or lower resolution EACH time you log in. For others it DOES continue to work, running Windows XP, VISTA, etc. #3 Let Yahoo! know that you would like the original Yahoo! Classic instead of the new. I would email them daily. Link is below. #4 Should you choose to keep working with the new mail there are a number of things you can try to make it work better for you. Update your Adobe Flash Player, and Java script. Check for updates for your version of Windows. Check for updates for your browser (s) Internet Explorer (IE), Safari, Google Chrome, Modzilla Firefox etc. Clear out your cache, cookies, temporary files and browsing history. The easiest method to clean out those files is press simultaneously Ctrl, Shift and Delete keys while your browser window is still OPEN. This also deletes your passwords and banking information. Or view this page for further information: http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache #5 You may consider trying an alternate browser. #6 I used to suggest purchasing a Yahoo! Plus account, because there USED TO BE an option to go back to Classic, but that option is NOT there anymore. I found that out as I was trying to answer a question for another Yahoo user. After numerous attempts of trying to reach chat I was finally able to get through. (More info on my profile page.) They asked during/while they switched it back for my reasons, and that I should provide a list right there and there. Have your list ready to copy and paste into the chat window. You will also need to give them answers to your security questions, DOB, alternate email address, cell phone, etc. to confirm you are who you are. I changed the answers to all my security questions since. Direct link to chat page, you will have to wait for it to load before the chat window shows up: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/forms_index.html;_ylt=AjdqjW6dguEo.zm7Uq_IOqQaYHtG?last_url=http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/migrating/fromclassic/mltamnoswitch.html All the best to you, and I hope that this helped you.
