How do I switch the Yahoo layout?

How can I switch this new yahoo layout, emailing system back it it's classic, original form?

  • Since this FORCED upgrade I can't download pictures right. You used to be able to label them, send and download to the computer with the same label. Now You go to open the picture and there it is already open and to download it you have to right click and go to save picture as, but it comes up as secured download every time! I like to keep pictures in order and its difficult to do it when they change the title of the picture on you, not only that but I sent a picture from my phone and it keeps receiving it over and over, that never happened with the old yahoo. I hope someone can help me out here because between yahoo and facebook forcing all this new crud on us it's really frustrating!

  • Answer:

    The current version replaced "All New Mail" - now it's either that or Yahoo Mail Classic... Once you have the new Mail Regular, you will no longer be able to switch back to All New Mail and/or see a switch-back link to Mail Classic, but I'm slightly visually impaired and found an interesting workaround a few weeks ago to at least get back to Mail Classic: lower your screen resolution, and as soon as it's too low for the new mail, you will get a message displayed asking if you want to switch to Mail Classic. Click "yes". Of course you can switch back to your original screen resolution once you have mail classic back..:-) Another option: turn off Javascript - you'll then be asked if you want to return to Mail Classic, click "yes". In case you don't know how to turn off Javascript... For IE: tools -> internet options -> security. In security click "custom level" -> disable active scripting in the scripting section. Remember to turn Javascripting back on when you are back in Mail Classic since without it some mail functions won't work For Firefox: tools -> options -> content, click on "disable Javascript". Now hit F5 to refresh the page while you are in yahoo email in order to kick in the option (permanent) to switch back to classic. Do not click on the "one time" option. Turn it back on once you have your "Classic" account back.

Yahoo support gave me this answer and it fixed the problem. "Internet Explorer 8 and 9 include a compatibility feature, which will allow your browser to behave like a previous version of Internet Explorer. In order for Yahoo! Mail to function properly, this mode will need to be disabled. To disable compatibility mode in Internet Explorer 8 or 9: 1. Open Internet Explorer. 2. Click the "Tools" menu at the top of the window (or press Alt + T if the Tools menu is not visible) to view the Tools menu. 3. Uncheck the "Compatibility View" option to disable this mode.

You can't switch back to the old format. We are stuck using this crappy version.
