Why cant I switch back to Classic Yahoo? I hate the new version.?

To go back to Y Classic Mail trick it: Here are several solutions for you. Note: As of May 31st, you can no longer switch back. Yahoo's removed the link to return to the classic version. If your previous version was the New Mail, then it SEEMS that that's what you're stuck with & you can't get it back. BUT, If you have stalled from "upgrading" (like me) then the trick below will work. To get back to the Classic version (easily & permanently) you'll have to lower the resolution on your PC to the point where it won't support the Beta version. To do this Right click on a blank space on your desktop & choose "Properties". Select the "Settings" tab. Move the slider that says "Screen resolution" all the way to the left (or Below 1024 by 768 pixels) Click OK. You may have to restart your PC (depending on your settings) After rebooting or logging into your Y mail account like normal while in this new low screen resolution you'll be asked to switch to the new mail. Do so & click OK or upgrade (don't worry). When you're in the new mail you'll brought to a page that tells you the resolution is to low. It'll give you a few chooses. Choose the "last one" which will say something like 'go back to the previous version you were using'. Click that & you'll be brought your old classic mail. Log out of Y mail. Now you can change your screen resolution like it was before. This should be permanent - not just one-time (or until Y mail fixes/forces this too upon us hopefully many months away) You can also use these two links though it's only a temp fix & you'll have to use them every time to access the Classic version. http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch or http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome Or try this link & choose classic: http://us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/troubleLoading Or http://info.mail.yahoo.com/newMailClassic/info Hope this helps and be Sure to give SOMEONE a best answer because some of these answers take's a lot of time & work on our part.

NEW YAHOO MAIL IS STILL UNSTABLE...IT WOULD BE BEST TO GO BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS VERSION OF YAHOO! MAIL... To go back to YAHOO! MAIL CLASSIC... Turn off Javascript - you'll then be asked if you want to return to Mail Classic, click "yes". If you don't know how to turn off Javascript... For SAFARI: Open SETTINGS>click PREFERENCES>>click SECURITY>>Uncheck ENABLE JAVA and ENABLE JAVASCRIPT IMPORTANT:Remember to RE-ENABLE JAVA and JAVASCRIPTING back ON when you are back in Mail Classic because without it some mail functions won't work. For IE: Open TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS >> SECURITY. In security click "CUSTOM LEVEL" -> disable active scripting in the scripting section. IMPORTANT:Remember to turn JAVASCRIPTING back ON when you are back in Mail Classic because without it some mail functions won't work. For FIREFOX: Open TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT, click on "DISABLE JAVASCRIPT". Now hit F5 to refresh the page while you are in Yahoo! email in order to switch back... In the options, click (PERMANENT) to switch back to YAHOO! Classic. DO NOT click the "ONE TIME ONLY" option. IMPORTANT: Turn JAVASCRIPT back ON once you have your "CLASSIC" account back. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE IF THIS SOLUTION WORKS BY CLICKING BEST ANSWER..THANKS

You can STILL go back to the Classic version---(just NOT to the "All New Mail"-- that was the one between Beta and Classic). 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 link 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>>"start>control panel>"appearances and themes" >display>settings>>lower it and click OK. 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 to the control panel and return the page resolution to normal, (so things will continue to work smoothly. ********************************* 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" (small writing bottom of page). Eventually the prompts will stop (per Yahoo).

No, DUH! what did you expect as an answer?....
