How do you get a classic yahoo?

Yahoo wants to get rid of Classic Email for there slower harder to see new email how do we keep the classic?

  • I have a few accounts with the Classic Email now we are being asked to switch to the new one. I have that too and its really hard to read, slower, no reply buttons, harder to delete and tons more reasons I don't like it. I want to keep the Classic Yahoo Email how can I do this and change the new one back to the Classic?

  • Answer:

    For your old accounts still using Classic----DON'T switch (you don't have to). For your other accounts that have already been switched---do this. You can switch back to Classic (which is STILL available). BUT NOT the "All New Mail" which was the one between Classic and the new Beta version. It no longer exists. Classic will remain an option for those of us currently using it AND who don't want to (or can't) use the Beta version---even tho Yahoo has removed the option to go back to it. (they want to force you to use it) Try this bit of trickery to (quickly and permanently) get back to Classic. Just lower the page "resolution" to the point where it won't support the Beta version. Go to>>your desktop and right click on it>>click on "properties">>click the "settings" tab>>and lower the resolutions>>click OK (and/or "apply"). You "may" then be required to restart your computer. THEN-----Once you've gone back to your mail page ---you will be told that your resolution is too low and asked if you want to switch to Classic as the "default" or "permanently"---(NOT the "one time only"). AFTER changing your mail page back to Classic---- GO BACK and return the page resolution to normal, (so things will continue to work). ********************************* In Classic you will STILL get the Prompts to upgrade (for a while)---but just click "No Thanks" OR "I want to stay on Classic" (teeny writing bottom of page). Eventually the prompts will stop (per Yahoo)

Don't agree to switch when you are asked. Stay in Classic. RIght now, Yahoo is not forcing Classic users to move. But once you get to the new mail, it is hard to go back (permanently).

I'm not sure if you can. I have the same problem with not liking the new layout but can't get the old one back.
