Switching between Classic and New/Beta Mail

September 13th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

please help me change my yahoo box from yahoo beta to normal yahoo box

September 13th, 2007 at 12:05 pm

A big problem with the new Yahoo is there is no Forward as attachment anymore. It forces me to switch back and forth between classic and new Yahoo few times a day.

September 13th, 2007 at 12:15 pm

I was in the mail beta version yesterday but then all of a sudden said some login error and I am no longer able to use the beta version and must switch back to the classic. Every time i try to go to beat, the same error message appears, is this bugged for anyone else?

September 13th, 2007 at 12:59 pm

body of email doesn’t come through in either classic of Beta version. Nice work

September 13th, 2007 at 1:14 pm

Only thiong I really miss is the “Save as Text” option. That is unless it is hidden somewhere like a Travelogue(tm) game item

September 13th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

i like the new site.The only problem I have with it ,is that I seem to have lost some of my bookmarks.

September 13th, 2007 at 1:29 pm

It looks, feels and stinks line Outlook Express.

September 13th, 2007 at 1:46 pm

my old style Y Mail, os of today, says MAIL CLASSIC. the new version still says BETA..no update.

September 13th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Help! I’m still in BETA. How do I get to new one?

September 13th, 2007 at 2:03 pm

yahoo’s email beta took some getting use to but was not bad once I got the hang of it. I switched back to ‘classic’ because I found a folder that, I did not make and I could not delete or rename. The name of the folder had 2 or 3 @ signs in it but when I tried to delete it, I was told it had invalid characters, when I tried to rename it, it would not accept any of the names I tried to use.

September 13th, 2007 at 2:28 pm

I don’t like it for the fact that when I want to send/forward an e-mail, once I choose a category group, I cannot edit them as I was able to do in the Origial. Going back to the Original. Nice try.

September 13th, 2007 at 3:09 pm

If you’d waited to release it until it was actually ready and functional, people might like it.

September 13th, 2007 at 3:24 pm

Why not just “fix” the things that folks don’t like about the BETA and then we don’t have to switch back and forth? Like why can’t I see “Full headers” in BETA?

September 13th, 2007 at 4:00 pm

I like the old email

September 13th, 2007 at 4:15 pm

After reading the comments of Sept. 13, 2007, only, & not seeing any answers back from Yahoo yet, I don’t think I’ll make the switch yet. Sounds like a lot of freedoms from classic mail were left out of the new/beta version, i.e., being able to edit forwards, choosing between inline or attachment, showing headers when needed! And, what the heck happened to inline photos – that was the best!! Seems they were taken away mysteriously in classic mail – wonder if they are available in the new/beta mail?

September 13th, 2007 at 4:50 pm

I tried switching to beta..and the second I did I was no longer able to log in to my e-mail,or my blog.
I finally had to format my hard drive,and reinstall everything!
It took the better part of 2 days…
I’ll stick with the old version.

September 13th, 2007 at 4:52 pm

I tried switching to beta..and the second I did I was no longer able to log in to my e-mail,or my blog.

September 13th, 2007 at 5:58 pm

I like the classic yahoo mail because it is usable from the Nokia 770 internet tablet unlike the new version.

September 13th, 2007 at 7:27 pm

Well Ryan…nice try, no cigar. I still can’t log in to the new email. Error message, error message, error message…did I mention I get an error message? I tried Beta two or three times…it worked for a few days then I would have to switch back because things would change on a daily basis. So finally I just go tired of it and went back to the old one. But you can’t forward any pictures or graphics without doing it as an attachment and even then it might not work. No to mention a myriad of other irritating problems. So when I hear all the rave reviews I thought what the heck, I’ll try the new Beta again. Well can’t get past the error messages. Sent emails to tech support…gee never got an answer…but if I did it would probably say to empty the cache files. And once again I would have to remind tech support I do that EVERY day. Like I said, nice try, no cigar.

September 13th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

Just liked the old better.Don’t like having to sign in every time.

September 13th, 2007 at 8:44 pm

Is there a way to eliminate sending the whole message body of the original message when replying to someone ? Didn’t have to do this with the classic version….What up ?????

September 13th, 2007 at 8:46 pm

Okay now how do I get out of this situation ??? Just sits here looking at me….Should let you know message has been sent….DUH?????

September 13th, 2007 at 8:50 pm

hay
i want to mail beta web site.
thanks+

September 13th, 2007 at 9:00 pm

New Yahoo Mail just plain sucks. Better to establish a Yahoo account and then just use Eudora to manage E-Mail. You’d think after all the time they spent in Beta, they’d have a final product that represents consumer feedback and not just what Yahoo decided we needed. When will they ever learn?

September 13th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

Ryan – I have been using the Beta for quite a while now (could it be a year?). My only question is WHEN. When will I get switched. Unlike some other posters, I am annoyed by having to use Y! Classic controls to accomplish many of the options. I know you have 250 million users, but can you give us an estimate of how long it will be? Are you going alphabetically? I even opend a new account to see if that would give me the new version – but no, just Beta still.

Did I mention I love the Beta and want to get access to the real NEW version. Throw us a bone with a time estimate!

September 13th, 2007 at 10:17 pm

The NEW yahoo! mail is MUCH slower than the Classic. So much so that it is useless on dialup (which I need to use sometimes.

Also, when I access folders for the first time and try to read a message the new mail often tells me I can not because it is “still loading”. Sometimes I can only get past this by closing mail altogether and logging in again.

There’s lots to like in the new (I’m still on Beta), but too many problems as well — especially speed.

September 13th, 2007 at 11:26 pm

it contain buggs thats y i have to swich back

September 14th, 2007 at 2:29 am

I love the new Yahoo mail and its slick interface. However, if you try to access it from a low powered device (like my Nokia N800 tablet), it really sucks. So, I have to switch to the Classic version. However, I wish there was an alternate URL for the classic, so that I can access both versions simultaneously without switching

September 14th, 2007 at 2:31 am

So exactly *when* do we get to use the ‘new’ Yahoo Mail on Safari for the Mac?
I have to keep switching to Firefox just to read email, and it’s annoying.

September 14th, 2007 at 3:10 am

I am forced to switch back: I bougth a better computer and no beta on Safari yet. Oh yes I could use Firefox, but I like so much how Safari handles fonts and pages are always a bit nicer in it.
Do you guys have some spare time to make smaller graphics and a better theme for classic?

September 14th, 2007 at 5:14 am

Beta is just too slow – will not revert to beta until I hear/see that this has been fixed.

September 14th, 2007 at 5:14 am

Yahoo has given me so many problems in the past 2 months, I was forced to switch back to the Old mail. Now the old mail gives me error messages a million times a day. I may be forced to change my email address to gmail or hotmail!

September 14th, 2007 at 5:17 am

I’ve been testing the Yahoo Beta for a year and love it! I don’t have any problems forwarding emails and editing them. However, I do understand the issue with choosing a group and not editing it, but if that’s the case, but I don’t ever need to do that hardly.

The drag and drop with folders, keyboard shortcuts for forwarding, replying, previewing mail in panels, having multiple emails open at the same time…all are AWESOME features. The only time I switch back is on my grandparents computer b/c they still have dial up, and the new yahoo is too complicated with chat and whatnot to use dial-up.

I’m still listed as Beta version though, so not sure if the actual “new” yahoo is different and when I might be switched off beta.

September 14th, 2007 at 5:24 am

Not Apple friendly. I use Safari for speed. I thought Yahoo was teeming up with Apple for email on the iPhone? What did I miss?

September 14th, 2007 at 5:32 am

I really love the new beta mail, the only problem is it takes longer to load the beta mail.

September 14th, 2007 at 5:51 am

I cannot refine my search for mails with the new version. I hate to switch back and forth for features available on one version over other. I used the beta version for a couple weeks, but now I am sticking to the older version. There is a lot more to be corrected with the beta form, although it has some nice features they are only ornamental not user friendly.

September 14th, 2007 at 6:21 am

Lately I get a lot of trash at the top of incomming E-MAIL’s, also after everytime I read something, I have to cloe all TABS, this is time consumming,especilly when you have Rhumitism in your fingers.

September 14th, 2007 at 7:23 am

I think the big problem wiht the new Yahoo Mail is that it doesen’t run on Appel’s Safari browser. It is the best browser in the market, but Yahoo Mail doesen’t support it.

September 14th, 2007 at 7:36 am

Loading Yahoo Chat contacts slows everything down. I can’t use it at work anyways, but it keeps trying to load and it takes forever before I can click the cancel link. Can’t I disable it permanently so it only loads my Messenger contacts when I want it to instead of all the time?

September 14th, 2007 at 7:44 am

Like most Web applications that get a fresh, Ajax overhaul, Yahoo mail has become more complicated. Yes, it can do more, but the user interface is not for the faint of heart. In other words, I’m confident I can make sense of it (I did), but I’m not so confident that my grandma could. Most people I talk to like the new Yahoo mail when:

1. The connection is fast (not dial-up)
2. There is a lot of mail to read (power users)

I think the latter is an often-missed point. If you only read a dozen or so emails a day, then why would you need all the complication of the new interface? But if you’re in your email all day, it starts to make sense. Yes, it takes longer to load the new Yahoo mail, but if you’re sitting down to write 50 emails, then the initial load time is negligible. But, then again, if you really are that immersed in email (a true power user), it’s hard to argue that many installed applications (Eudora, Mail, Outlook) are still better.

Given all this back and forth, what I’m really trying to say is that unless you can provide something even more compelling than a slick user interface, the new Yahoo mail might not be as compelling as one might think. That happens when you start to provide integrated (“easier”) access to everything else: chat, news feeds, portals, productivity tools, etc. Content is king and integrated content is even better. I look forward to the ongoing improvements in this area.

September 14th, 2007 at 7:52 am

Hey, I really like the new Yahoo! Mail Beta. The only problem that I have with it though is when adding contacts. With the old version, I was able to easily add a contact, including First Name, Last Name, put them in a category, & so on.

With the new version, it only lets me put in the first and last name. Even when I try to go back and edit the contact later, it still doesn’t give me an option to add them to a group such as “friends,” “family,” “affiliates,” and so on.

September 14th, 2007 at 7:56 am

The old Yahoo! Mail address books includes a categories feature. The new Yahoo! Mail does not. Please add this critical feature as soon as possible.

September 14th, 2007 at 7:58 am

I have had difficulty with the Beta Version when the preview pane is used. It crashes when using MS XP, so I frequentyly bounce back and forth between the 2 versions. I vastly prefer the Beta Version but it also doesn’t run well on my home eMac.

September 14th, 2007 at 8:25 am

I like the Beta except I cannot print from it. I have to forward my mail to Outlook Express and print from there.

I originally had a problem with forwarding – many messages wouldn’t forward. That seems OK now.

I like the spam filter. Does a good job.

September 14th, 2007 at 8:59 am

Beta/new is tooooo slooooowwwwwww. I switched back to classic after a few months and some suggestions that it sounds like have not been (yet?) implemented. I use numerous email alternatives including competitive services and multiple corporate and personally hosted pop accounts and this just isn’t there yet, so I choose to do the ‘power’ work and high volume elsewhere. I remain hopeful, but am growing slightly doubtful.

September 14th, 2007 at 9:09 am

You should be able to forward an email and also edit the email that you are forwarding. The beta version does not allow that. In fact after you hit the forward button U cannot even C what U R forwarding.

September 14th, 2007 at 9:11 am

I like the new Beta mail but the typing error did not alow me to open the mail.

September 14th, 2007 at 9:53 am

I have been a loyal Yahoo user since the first time I logged into the Internet more than 10 years ago. I have one question for Yahoo, why do you refuse to respond to problems when sent to customer care about mail? More than a dozen times I have attempted to get answers, to have you provide an answer for a subject not even associated to my question, you have sent an auto response that says in 24 hours you would respond but no response. Problem with spam and you say you checked my account but I did not have filters set up but when I go into mail options they are set up and have been for years. I am a technician and the biggest complaint I receive about technicians would be the lack of what appears to be an honest answer, straight answer. People just want a straight answer to problems and if you don’t have a valid answer then do not make things up.

September 14th, 2007 at 10:10 am

All I want to know is…. is there ever going to be a time when someone who is using their cell phone can sms/text me on my computer w/o using either email or instant messenger.
Example: my friend has t-mobil sk but can’t get im on it (he’s just stupid). I get no cell phone reception at my house and miss all my texts. Do I have to start the thread of sms from my Yahoo IM or is there some magic way that someone can start a text thread from their cell phone to my computer?

September 14th, 2007 at 10:23 am

I can’t use either classic or new on my PocketPC very well.

September 14th, 2007 at 10:45 am

I get an “error” pop up numerous times a day on the Beta version along with sent email not going out. I am not happy with it and switching back to the old system until they can get this problem fixed.

September 14th, 2007 at 11:35 am

Thanks for proving this option. Frankly I think I am too use to the classic version.

September 14th, 2007 at 1:26 pm

I am not happy with the new mail version, it freezes up. Am unable to switch back even tho I have followed the directions at the top of the page.

How can I get back to the original mail?

September 14th, 2007 at 4:18 pm

Please, please, please add “Categories” to the new Yahoo! Mail contacts. This was a critical feature in the old Yahoo! address book. Without it it’s impossible to keep my contact organized and accessible. Thanks!

September 14th, 2007 at 4:56 pm

For the past week, everytime I try to login to the new beta version of YahooMail, I receive a login error message. What’s up? It was working fine until last week. I like the new version and really want to get back to using it. Any help???

September 14th, 2007 at 6:26 pm

The only reason I don’t like the new version, is the print is too small!! Otherwise I would use it, if the print were larger.

September 14th, 2007 at 8:12 pm

As a PAYING Yahoo member with Mail Plus, I’m very disappointed that I still have the Beta version. I would think the people who pay for the service would get some kind of priority for upgrades.

September 14th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

that mail has alot of problems that y i want to swich back .

September 14th, 2007 at 9:35 pm

hi

September 15th, 2007 at 3:40 am

Three words:
Safari,,,
Safari,,,
Safari…

September 15th, 2007 at 5:04 am

The only thing I don’t like about the new mail is that I always have to hold down the Ctrt key to go to any sites listed in an email. That really, really irritates me. And many times causes problems. That is the one thing I think needs to be changed.

September 15th, 2007 at 7:00 am

I really wish you didn’t change this program I am not computer savy, however I am getting better . Why can’t you make it easy on your loyal people . I am having a hard time to sending emails before was so much easier /Remember I want my m/tv well I want my yahoo back!!!!!!

September 15th, 2007 at 7:33 am

I love Yahoo Beta Mail, It works really good for me. I had worried at 1st that being on my notebook from Toshiba that it would not work, but it shocked me. Thanks Yahoo Ya did great !!!!

September 15th, 2007 at 8:50 am

Wow–lots of complaining. Go easy, guys. Just thought I’d add a positive view. I’ve been using the new mail since it went public, and it’s *amazing*. It works great and feels like a desktop app. An incredible accomplishment! I’ve never had a problem, and I love it.

September 15th, 2007 at 10:17 am

How do I upgrade my yahoo mail from beta to the new version??

September 15th, 2007 at 1:42 pm

old mail more mannagable

September 15th, 2007 at 3:00 pm

I believe this will be a big improvement

September 15th, 2007 at 3:33 pm

Whenever I switch back to Classic (eg because I’m going somewhere there’s only dialup) I click on the feedback button. i ALWAYS get “web page unavailable”

Do you guys want feedback or not???

September 15th, 2007 at 4:13 pm

i did not like the new yahoo beta because it too small . thanks.

September 15th, 2007 at 4:46 pm

The only problem that I have with it is it hangs if I try and attach something. it will sit trying for hours on end. NO to sat that the old style mail server did the same but it would eventually work and send my mail.

September 15th, 2007 at 5:23 pm

i’m currently using the camino 1.5.1 browser.. n the new yahoo/beta cant seem to work on this browser.. i’ve tried clicking on the “try it now” button several times.. n each time it just goes back to the old classic mail..

September 15th, 2007 at 5:35 pm

I was just really wondering when the switch from the beta version is going to take place because I’ve been waiting for… well yesterday would make it 5 weeks

September 16th, 2007 at 12:20 am

I stick to classic because it’s much faster, and I don’t really need any new features or better graphics or whatsoever.

September 16th, 2007 at 4:31 am

Just recently downloaded FireFox, and the beta didn’t
want to work. I switched back to the classic and found that I like it much better. The beta would take too long to load. With FireFox, I have Ad Blocker, so going back to the original Yahoo Mail made since.

September 16th, 2007 at 5:45 am

I am not overly pleased with the Beta version so I am switching to Excite.com.

September 16th, 2007 at 8:41 am

Can’t move back to My.Yahoo page from the new Yahoo Mail without using the browsers back button.

September 16th, 2007 at 12:42 pm

Greetings, Ryan: Upgrades only work if you get them out to your customers in a timely manner. I pay for my Yahoo Mail Plus account, so you’d think I’d have access to the new and improved Yahoo Mail by now. As of 4:45pm EDT on Sunday, 16 September 2007, I still don’t have it. I’m about to give up and just use Outlook 2007 or Eudora Pro to handle my E-Mail. Oh, and by the way, Yahoo customer service is pretty tragic.

September 16th, 2007 at 4:31 pm

can you bring me back to new yahoo mail.I’ll try this one . As you said I can still go back to yahoo classic. In this new version, I can chat but can I view the person at the same time .Is yahoo messager feature is included in this new version of yahoo mail. Thak you

September 16th, 2007 at 10:38 pm

Can you shift my account to Mail Beta please?

September 17th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

beta is not working for me…and I can’t figure out how to switch back….help!!!

September 17th, 2007 at 1:10 pm

how do I switch back to regular yahoo…this is frustrating….

September 18th, 2007 at 1:49 am

My sister has Yahoo beta. I have classic. Would that be the reason why I can’t get into my e-mail?

September 18th, 2007 at 4:30 am

bring me back to the old one. im a neophyte, i took a hard time tring to go to the old system. please, if you want to implement the new one, make a survey first.

September 18th, 2007 at 5:00 am

I like it better because when I am ay school on the computer, I can I.M without having to download the whole instant messenger! Thanks!

September 18th, 2007 at 8:22 am

Tried the ‘new’ version, too slow on my PowerBook G4, even on DSL.

Back to the tried and true.

September 18th, 2007 at 9:02 am

Please I want back to the classic version in my mobil phone but they don’t give options the problem is when i compose and i send is incomplete.Please give the chance to choice our classic version for mobil.

September 18th, 2007 at 2:35 pm

I see you’re on a Mac. Is Y!Mail FINALLY compatible with Safari, Opera etc?

September 18th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

can someone help me get the link to switch back to yahoo classic, because the link to my mail doesnt even load on yahoo beta

September 18th, 2007 at 6:51 pm

hey, it looks pretty good, but just tell me that it doesn’t have to be green…

September 19th, 2007 at 1:05 pm

I must be one of the last still in beta, but what will happen to the “archive” option? It’s not in the beta. I love the archive option. Why wouldn’t it stay? I know the storage limit is removed, but redundancy (of storage) is still important, I think. I dread the “ooops, sorry…we had a glich and lost your email.” I liked the chance to easily download a whole folder’s worth at a time and store it locally.

September 20th, 2007 at 5:39 am

i want to upadate my old yahoo account to beta what i hv to do?

September 20th, 2007 at 10:04 am

I hate yahoo classic. How do I switch back to the regular yahoo mail? Help me

September 20th, 2007 at 11:55 pm

September 21st, 2007 at 6:45 pm

I am not too pleased with the new version. It’s also too slow…

September 22nd, 2007 at 9:02 am

yahoo mail beta is the best

September 24th, 2007 at 7:23 am

I am trying to switch back to the classic email on yahoo, because I have been sitting here for 30 minutes and it is still ‘loading’ my mail.
I do not see a link that says Mail classic at all.
I need to switch back immediately.

I receive a lot of work at home, and I haven’t been able to see my emails all weekend.
Thanks.

September 24th, 2007 at 1:15 pm

Yahoo mail beta is too slow when opening files
and downloads.Been waiting for hours. It should have more rooms to view our messages,free of charge, extra service! Too much announcements and commercials. I wanted to switch back to yahoo mail classic.Where can find the link? Thanks!

September 27th, 2007 at 3:51 am

I was in the mail beta version it was working fine so many days but from last week sudden said some login error and I am no longer able to use the beta version and must switch back to the classic. Every time i try to go to beat, the same error message appears, is this bugged for anyone else?

September 27th, 2007 at 6:12 am

The new version is nice, but I cannot use it.
I have dial-up at home and none of the messages will come up.

Does anyone know why this is? Can it be fixed?

The only time I can use the new yahoo mail is at work where they have higher speed connections.

This stinks.

September 27th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

Every time I tried to switch to beta I can’t type a message (e-mail) My cursor “freezes”. Anyone else have this problem? Otherwise I liked the beta version. Do I have to have beta to get the new version? I went back to the classic and since the “insert picture” option was taken away I can’t change font, or font color or size. I hate that!

September 27th, 2007 at 9:29 pm

i would like to use yahoo mail beta version. because it is easy to use

September 27th, 2007 at 9:58 pm

It is magnificent

September 29th, 2007 at 11:24 am

I do not like the new yahoo. I can’t change it back.

September 29th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

i need yahoo mail classic

September 30th, 2007 at 12:21 pm

I hate the new Yahoo Beta.

The constant advertisement should be sent to the CIA for torture allowed under the “quaint” Geneva conventions.

To print a received e-mail is impossible.

To delete 793 spammed messages individually is not worth the time.

And, now, I’m wasting time trying to find out how to get the “classic” version back! Take a hint from Coca-Cola; this new version is a bomb.

September 30th, 2007 at 8:03 pm

Yahoo beta mail too slow I was waiting to get to my mail for 1 hr. and could not get to it at all.

October 1st, 2007 at 3:17 pm

hi can i get beta mail please ?thank u

October 2nd, 2007 at 5:13 pm

Hi, I wanted to see what the new yahoo mail looked liked, and knowing i could switch back i just tried, but now i CANNOT switch back to calassic mail – every time i enter my email it says yahoo has trouble loading and for this session only switch back – this is extremely annoying and i dont have any of those switch back options next to my name at the welcome screen. Can you please help me? Maybe explain in an e-mail to me how to do it?

October 14th, 2007 at 3:35 pm

October 17th, 2007 at 12:34 am

it works when it’s not allowed to download messenger at offices so we can chat >>>>> rules are put to be broken

October 17th, 2007 at 7:42 pm

I switched back to classic and now I want to go back to new beta mail, but that message “try it now” never come up in the option, why?

October 18th, 2007 at 8:24 pm

I had the “switch” between classic and new mail, I switched forward and back a few times trying to get used to it, but then suddenly the “switch” disapeared…. WHERE IS IT?!

Could anyone at the Yahooo-staff tell me?

October 20th, 2007 at 1:03 am

I switched back from Beta to Classic but now I can’t switch back to Beta again. I don’t have that option. What do I do? I want to get back to Beta again? Do I have to change language (I have Swedish, but I had Swedish when I got the question about changing to Beta the first time too.) Help me!

October 20th, 2007 at 5:10 am

I accidentally switched to the BETA version and now I keep getting an error when I open Yahoo Mail. Is there a link I can use to by-pass BETA?

October 21st, 2007 at 3:38 am

I’ve changed from Beta to Classic and now a want rewind to Beta. But I can’t ! Help me plz.

October 23rd, 2007 at 9:55 am

I switched to the “upgrade”; now my browser crashes whenever I log onto yahoo email. I’m not the most technically savvy guy, but how do I contact yahoo by phone or email from another site? This sucks!

October 23rd, 2007 at 6:07 pm

From reading all of the posts above, I’m sure glad I didn’t try the upgrades. I’m sticking with Classic. Works for me.

October 25th, 2007 at 7:45 am

tHE “old” YAHOO MAIL IS GREAT there is a true saying “if it an’t broke don’t fix it” this is very apt in this case,leave it alone,PLEASE.

October 25th, 2007 at 7:54 am

I switched from classic to the new mail some weeks ago. Just for fun I switched back to classic and now I can’t go back to the new mail(beta). You have written that under “options” there is sth going like this: “try the new mail”. That is not the case with my mail. What is wrong? I want to switch to the new mail as soon as possible.

October 25th, 2007 at 9:18 am

Hi p,
There should still be a link, but I also updated the post to show another way you should be able to upgrade.
Thanks,
Ryan K

October 25th, 2007 at 9:15 pm

this is an awsome link
pictures help
the only thing i did not like was this
Switching between Classic and New/Beta Mail
posting this like that suggest we still have beta options
this is the part i am talking about New/Beta Mail
Beta Mail i think should be removed
keep up the good work

For some time now,I have had to switch to Yahoo Mail Classic to reply to or forward messages.Occasionally,I have been able to reply or forward on the new mail,but after doing a few messages this way,it stops working. I can send new messages on the new Yahoo Mail with no problems. What is going on? I have tried various suggestions given to me by Yahoo technicians,but to no avail.

November 2nd, 2007 at 4:48 pm

I am getting an error everytime I try to log into the new yahoo mail which does not allow me to check my email. Everytime I log it it gives me an erroe and I can’t use email. I have to be quick and select classic mail before I get timed out. Can someone help me.

November 5th, 2007 at 4:08 am

ON MY MOBILE PHONE, LAST WEEK I HAVE STARTED TO LOOK AT MY YAHOO MAIL BOX. ON MY 2ND TRY IT ASKED FOR ” YAHOO MAIL CLASSIC?? I ANSWERED YES”.
NEXT DAY ON MY LAPTOP, I FOUND MY YAHOO MAIL BOX AS CLASSIC. AND NO OPTION OR ALTERNATIVE TO CHANGE IT BCAK TO YAHOO MAIL PLUS.
I SPEND ON LAST SATURDAY ABOUT 4 HOURS.
CAN YOU HELP ME? HOW CAN I SOLVE IT.

I NEED URGENT HELP. THANKS.

http://ymailupdates.com/blog/?p=76
***UPDATE***

I’ve heard that some people may not be seeing the same link options to upgrade back to New Mail once switching back to Classic. You should still see the Purple Box shown above if you click on the Options drop-down and select “Mail Options”, but you should also now see also see a link in the very top right of the window (a little to the right of your Yahoo! ID) that reads “All-New Mail”. Clicking there will also take you to the New Yahoo! Mail.

November 5th, 2007 at 7:19 pm

I HATE THE YAHOO BETA (Both My Yahoo and Yahoo Mail). It is a joke. It is horribly slow and unreliable. If Yahoo wants to compete with Gmail, it better stick with the Old Version. I will definitely leave if Yahoo gets rid of the Old Versions of My yahoo and Yahoo Mail. Yahoo doesnt understand that people dont care about all the gizmos and flash features if they suck all the memory and cant be effectively used.

November 6th, 2007 at 8:31 pm

the new yahoo.mail has arrived.try it now.i have
new yahoo mail asia

November 8th, 2007 at 11:51 am

What if there is no “switch back” link or nothing in the options section either. I have looked everywhere and I am still stuck in this terrible terrible e-mail page. It is so plain and nothing works like classic yahoo. What do I do? Please keep in mind, no “switch back’ or no “try new beta for free” links. Thank you.

November 9th, 2007 at 11:31 am

November 11th, 2007 at 7:29 am

My cell automatically switched to Beta one day and I could not log in. I FINALLY got logged in and it sucks! All my folders that used to show are gone now and I made them for the use of my cell phone so I could see who was emailing before I opened it. Now , it takes forever and I have to check each folder individually because they do not show a number by them anymore, letting you know if there is mail in the folder. I HATE BETA. I kept classic at home, but my cell phone is VERY time consuming NOW that only the BETA Option exists. I have a FIRE KRZR. I am NOT HAPPY YAHOO. After 10 years of having an account, you sure let me down!!!

November 11th, 2007 at 8:55 am

MINE MAIL CANNOT BE SWITCHD BACK TO THE OLD MAIL!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

November 11th, 2007 at 5:01 pm

November 13th, 2007 at 3:09 am

After the upgrade, I am not able to open any of my email from the browser. The tool bar is not functioning. I tried to switch back to classic version and I am not able to do anything. The tool bar is frozen. I also tried to use the options on the upper right hand corner and it is not working. So now I am stuck. I really want to get my yahoo to the normal state that I had previously. Please help

November 13th, 2007 at 3:18 am

How can I get my yahoo Mail Classic back. I am not able to click on Mail Classic Icon nor on Options to revert back to my older yahoo email version. I can see my email but can not reply, forward or delete any. This new upgrade has been a disaster and would like to get someone to assist in getting this problem resolved. Feedback from experts is appreciated.

November 13th, 2007 at 8:19 am

can’t read or delete my e-mail now

November 13th, 2007 at 8:24 am

I switched to the new yahoo mail and since then have been unable to delete mail in my inbox. I also tried switching back to the original Yahoo mail and I get a script error message time after time which does not let me switch back. What could be happening that is not allowing me to switch back?

November 13th, 2007 at 8:52 am

This new Yahoo Mail is the worst thing I have ever used! I can’t even get into my Yahoo Mail and after repeatedly writing Customer Care, they still haven’t changed it so I can get back to the Classic Yahoo Mail in order to read my e-mails.

November 13th, 2007 at 11:51 am

I can log in, see my mail and that’s about it!! I can’t create new mail, delete or reply and I can’t turn back to old mail either. None of those buttons work for me. It highly frustrating!

November 13th, 2007 at 12:29 pm

My beta Yahoo is also not working. Cannot create mail, respond, open attachments, change back to classic.

I have tried the Options drop down but it is not responding. I click on Mail Classic but it is not responding.

Any other suggestions Ryan?

November 13th, 2007 at 1:43 pm

I have the same problem as most of the posts since Nov 11. I cannot switch back, create or delete mails, open attachments, etc….

November 14th, 2007 at 1:56 am

Everytime I attempt to open my yahoo with the new version. I am getting the following error with the system is crashing. Is there any corrective action to fix this new beta version of yahoo? I am not able to do anything with yahoo emails. I can not revert back to the classic version. Is anyone getting any replies back from yahoo regarding this common issue that we are experiencing?

Skype IE Plugin Version: 2.2.0.98
Windows version: 5.0.2195

Hi there

First the new yahoo version doesn’t load properly. Secondly, I am not seeing any i) mail classic next to my sign in name or ii) any options tab.

Can you take a look at my account and switch it back permanaently.

I appreciate you think this new yahoo is better but from the amount of complaints you’ve received and request to switch it back , you may consider that this market research is telling you something different.

If the users are unhappy with the functionality and can’t use it then what is the point of it

Regards
Romelow

November 14th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

well,i am able to enter the new version but cant open,forward,reply…..anything

November 15th, 2007 at 6:20 am

Yahoo Beta is not working very well at all. Cannot delete any emails and CANNOT switch back to Classic Mail as that link has a javascript error.

Please fix the Mail Classic link so I can go back to something that works.

Come on Yahoo – you’re better than this or are you giving up to Google?

November 15th, 2007 at 7:14 am

the drop down menu does NOT work. The link is there, but will not drop down when i click on it. also, when i click on switch back – NOTHING happens. any other suggestions to switching back to the classic from this awful beta version??

November 22nd, 2007 at 7:54 pm

I also have issues with the beta version of email. I actually opened another email address so I could submit questions to yahoo how to change back including the error messages. Yahoo was prompt on getting back in 24 hours, they tried to create the the same error and couldn’t. Finally, I was able to change back.

Yahoo acted surprised like this was a 1 time fluke. I really liked the beta mail and had been using it for about a year.

November 22nd, 2007 at 10:52 pm

this new version of beta mail sucks switch me back please!!! nothing works i cant even send you a direct email YAHOO getting pissed offf big time

November 23rd, 2007 at 11:45 pm

November 24th, 2007 at 1:12 am

Pls help me. I can’t do a single thing with my yahoo mail beta version. Can’t switch back to classic version, can’t delete, reply, send email. Can’t do anything. Pls help me 2 switch back to classic version.

November 24th, 2007 at 10:38 am

Ya know, at first I thought that beta mail was better. Boy was I mistaking!Now I feel trapped,
I’m loading up on mail and I cant delete anything
or even compose. IT”S F****** USELESS!!!!

November 25th, 2007 at 9:16 am

Please return me to Yahoo Classic or fix this new one.I can’t switch back to classic version, can’t delete, reply, send an email, logout, forward. etc. It seems that all links are dead. When I am trying to switch to Yahoo Classic it shows me an error: javascript error, error on page…etc.

November 25th, 2007 at 9:24 am

Also I want to say that I tryed everything that is recommended by Ryan, Community manager and all links are not working. It is constantly showing error on page whan I click on link.

I just want to open and use again my mail.

November 25th, 2007 at 10:39 am

Please return me to Yahoo Classic or fix this new one.I can’t switch back to classic version, can’t delete, reply, send an email, logout, forward. etc. It seems that all links are dead. When I am trying to switch to Yahoo Classic it shows me an error: javascript error, error on page…etc.

Please help, I agree!

November 26th, 2007 at 6:54 am

I want to switch back. I have a business that I need to stay updated on. I may just cancel my yahoo due to all of the problems, can’t read mail, and if I do happen to get in I can’t do anything

November 26th, 2007 at 11:48 am

I tried clicking on the mail classic and options links and either nothing happens or I get an error on page message. So again I ask, how can I change from mail beta to mail classic from another screen?

November 27th, 2007 at 9:25 am

GRRRRRRRRR

So I go to the new yahoo mail ok read my message go to try and download it and the darn thing freezes.

Ok I say I’ll switch back no go either with the options button or the go back.

Right Now I’d say it’s terrible

November 27th, 2007 at 3:02 pm

The return to Classic Mail doesNOT work. People are turning in error reports everywhere and Yahoo Mail isNOT FIXing it. Does anybody read this? Or am I alone talking to myself. Some accounts CanNOT even FORWARD,REPLY,SEND,DELETE,COMPOSE,USE ADDRESS BOOK, etc. Also the ads and chat functions should be tossed out of the mailbox. No your Yahoo All-New Mail is broken, not working, busted, needs fixing. The directions you gave above are how Yahoo Mail SHOULD WORK.

November 28th, 2007 at 10:53 am

I can read my mail. Can’t delete can’t go back to classic everything i click says error. This needs fixed. Yahoo is sucking the big one right now in my book. A glitch is one thing but it has not worked in over a week for me.

November 29th, 2007 at 3:26 am

December 4th, 2007 at 3:26 pm

I too am having problems with my yahoo mail! I can’t open, delete, forward, or reply! Yesterday I was able to get back to classic but none of my addresses were stored there, so I went back to the new Yahoo and couldn’t access my contacts! Now I can’t get back to the classic! WHAT IS GOING ON???
I agree with Don (comment above) this is a major problem!

December 4th, 2007 at 5:34 pm

Yahoo Mail Problem: “This ID is not yet taken” I am sure all my inputs are absolutely correct (username and password). What could be the problem causing this error? I tried login many time but it says “This ID is not yet taken”, weird is I can access sometime but after few hours If I try again the same error “This ID is not yet taken” this happen only with my recent yahoo mail account.

The problem with the new mail is that none of the links work. So I see the switch to mail classic link, but when I click on it… nothing happens. The new yahoo mail doesn’t work on my other computer either, it simply won’t load. I get a zillion java errors. I’m so frustrated. I need some info out of that account (it worked at one point on one of my computers)… then I will switch to another service if I can’t get this cleared up. What is the url??? I need to type the url to the classic mail on my address line… help!

Yahoo Beta Mail sucks big time!!!! All of these complaints cannot be ignored.
At least send an all user message to Yahoo members informing us of what’s happening. What a disaster!!!

January 4th, 2008 at 7:10 am

Can someone in the all knowing tech department provide us with a valid link to switch back to yahoo classic for PDAs iPods and the likes?! There is NO link in mail or on any part of the other yahoo beta pages to allow the switch back to classic! My iPod was highjacked to the beta version and I never asked for it!

January 7th, 2008 at 10:31 pm

I think the new beta mail page sucks i’m trying to run a bussiness and depend on my email for my survival yahoo fix your problems so we don’t have to switch to your competition.

January 8th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

please switch me back to the classic version asap. since i hav switched to beta, its showing yahoo in html format. and i cannot see any option to switch to old format in html view.

January 8th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

I can’t get back to Yahoo classic! I click on Classic Mail and nothing happens, same with Options!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 9th, 2008 at 8:05 am

I switched to the new version and now I can’t switch back and I can’t delete, or compose mail! There seems to be a glitch somewhere! I’ve had this account forever I don’t want to loose it.

January 9th, 2008 at 1:26 pm

my email is frozen too! no buttons work– what do I do- hopefully not cancel and start over!! Can’t even get back to classic version!

January 12th, 2008 at 4:07 pm

wont even let me choose option on new yahoo mail says nothing wont go to new page or anything think its junk.

January 13th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

it says i can switch back to mail classic however my options menu doesn’t have that option, and there is no link on the top of my screen.

January 13th, 2008 at 8:08 pm

I WANT MY YAHOO CLASSIC RIGHT NOW!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!

January 14th, 2008 at 7:58 am

I like the new interface but since adding filters isn’t supported yet I switched back (temporarily I thought) to classic. Now there is no way to switch back to the Beta. There is no “try me now” in a purple button on the options page and no “all new mail” next to my id on any page. I’ve searched. I am using a business account. Is it different? This is the second time this has happened to me but I don’t remember how I eventually got to the new interface the second time. It took a month. This is very frustrating. Please either support everything in the beta so we don’t need to switch or fix the switch capability.

January 14th, 2008 at 8:20 am

I can’t switch back to beta interface.

The beta interface is great but every time I switch to classic for something unsupported in the beta I am stuck there for a long time. The help at the top of this page doesn’t work. There are no such links. I’m obviously getting old options etc pages that don’t know about the beta. I even cleared yahoo cookies and logged in from scratch.

My company email is a yahoo business account.

January 14th, 2008 at 9:13 am

I can’t switch back to beta interface.
Update: I tried both firefox and internet explorer. No difference. The image above with the most recent update does not resemble the look of any of my yahoo pages. I believe that my work account is getting very old yahoo mail pages. For example I can’t find a link to tutorials anywhere. The top bar has a single entry for “Small Business Home.” There is no link for send feedback anywhere I can find. My id doesn’t appear anywhere, only my email address. Note: When I open the firefox error window I get massive numbers of css errors for these pages. That’s why I tried IE.

January 14th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

This morning I added an alternative email address to my yahoo mail. In the process of doing this, I was checking mail and inadvertently clicked on the button that switched me to the New Beta Mail. Now I am without email—can’t do anything! Can’t switch back as none of the buttons work, not Options, Delete, anything. What can I do other than get rid of my Yahoo email?

January 17th, 2008 at 12:57 am

I cannot view my mails in yahoo beta. When I click mail classic nothing happens and often I see page cannot be displayed and am very much wanted to go back to classic but not able to… please some one help me if there is anyother wayyyy

January 18th, 2008 at 4:32 am

i cannot even access the message in my box …………….switching to both if nonsense cos one is not gotting through and the other not opening

January 18th, 2008 at 6:10 am

I have been trying for days to switch back to the classic mail because only the first 25 messages load correctly. Every other message shows as ‘loading’ and will never appear.

The button at the top does not work to switch back to classic. When I click on it I get the message “javascript – void”, which I think means that there is no programming behind that button.

I am currently unemployed and use my yahoo e-mail address on my resume – now I have no idea if anyone has responded. I desperately need to get back to the classic e-mail – WHICH ALWAYS WORKED!

January 25th, 2008 at 1:36 am

My mails do come in but I can’t veiw them so my you send them all to b.mpongwana@vodamail after please swicth me to the one where i can veiw my mails please and they are pilling up now and i think i have 200 something mails right now, can you help please

January 26th, 2008 at 5:14 am

on the new yahoo, i cant delete mesages or open it in full page. how can i make my default to be the classic version.

January 27th, 2008 at 11:55 am

A big problem with the new Yahoo is there is no Forward as attachment anymore. It forces me to switch back and forth between classic and new Yahoo few times a day.

January 27th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

The new Yahoo! Mail interface seems to have significant issues when using Opera 9.25. Changing back to the older Yahoo! Web Mail seems to be tricky, too. It seems that every time I load the new interactive Yahoo! Mail, the same buttons (compose, etc.) are displayed in multiple rows, and occasionally some columns are displayed incorrectly as well. This kind of sucks since I enjoyed the use of the new Yahoo! mail but not Internet Exploder. IE7 was such a waste. Beyond that, I’ve found that attempting to deal with the script errors and incorrectly displayed emails isn’t worth the effort. Until this “glitch” is resolved with a nifty little picture that states “NOW COMPATIBLE WITH OPERA!” comes beside the link to the beta mail, it’s not happening.

January 28th, 2008 at 5:07 am

I switched to the new mail and it is awful.
Nothing works and I keep getting error with javascript. Please help us.

January 30th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

How do you switch back to yahoo classic.? Beta yahoo is not what I expected

January 31st, 2008 at 9:54 am

I was just curious as to what the new mail version was like. I wish I had found the area first with reader comments. Please, please get me back to the classic version. Delete and other buttons do NOT work. I am horrified by this “new” version. Will have to switch to something else if I can’t get Classic back.

By the way…has anyone who wanted to be switched back, gotten any real help??

January 31st, 2008 at 8:02 pm

Heidi, Don’t know if I’ve gotten any help, can’t open my mail!

January 31st, 2008 at 8:13 pm

is switching to the new yahoo mail is it free or does it cost anything

February 5th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW BETA! I HATE, AND DEAPLY DESPISE IT…….IT WON’T LET ME SEE, DELETE MY EMAILS, AND IT WON’T LET ME SWITCH BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION…… NONE OF MY BUTTONS WILL WORK EXEPT THE “My Account” ONE…….GRRRRRRRRRRRR I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YAHOO, WANTS TO KEEP IT’S PEOPLE, THEN IT BETTER SWITCH IT BACK TO THE CLASSIC VERSION…..

February 5th, 2008 at 3:55 pm

I love a New/Beta Mail, though there is no any chance to use it in Y! Russia. Just a classic one :-( and if you wanna see all features in the Beta Version, you will have to change Y! settings (to be a Y! USA or Canada) in your account information.
What a shame! I am a Y! Mail Plus subscriber and have to suffer this discomfort.

February 6th, 2008 at 8:55 am

This new yahoo mail sucks. It locks up all the time and has many bugs. I hate it!!!!!!!!

February 6th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

I switched to the new version of Yahoo mail and I could not delete my mail I could not get any of my buttons to work, I kept freezing up,I fially went to Yahoo answers and got some help from there to how to get Yahoo classic back.It was a bad 2 days, I was stuck in the new version and couldn’t gey out cause even my switch back to classis would not work…Never Again

February 8th, 2008 at 10:42 am

February 11th, 2008 at 9:02 am

February 13th, 2008 at 7:33 am

I need my same old email address back ,switched it by mistake.I have some very important emails on it, as far as starting my own home business.

February 13th, 2008 at 8:29 am

I have had nothing but problems with YAHOO in general since this new BETA was released. I am a fan of yahoo in all things, but I switched over to the new BETA version and wasn’t impressed, it was slow, missing options and just a poor layout in my mind….. so I decided to switch back to yahoo classic…. boy was I in for a surprise! Upon clicking the mail classic link at the top of my window, confirmed my selection, I was taken back to the version of yahoo mail from the 90′s! You know, the one that required NO JAVA at all….. so now I can’t switch to either the new BETA or the yahoo classic……. and I’m stuck with limited controls over what I want to do! Anybody got any ideas?

February 16th, 2008 at 4:26 am

I am still having problem switching from Mail Beta to Yahoo Classic! The java(0:) error keeps popping up each time I try. I am no longer able to use yahoo mail the way I have been using for the past decade. Does someone have a solution to this? If you do, please contact me on saddiqlillah@yahoo.com, I really need help.
Thanks to the Yahoo community.

February 17th, 2008 at 2:50 pm

I love the new Yahoo, but problem is I get a lot of errors under Firefox 3. It’s quite annoying it doesn’t work there as it should (and it’s dead on Opera 9.25).

Must revert to Classic.

Must revert to Classic.

Also, due to the errors I think, I can’t switch to Classic using a link (because it doesn’t appear, the status thingie doesn’t load). Is there any other way to make Yahoo Mail Classic the default?

February 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

Help me turn my classic view into a Beta Mail view

February 26th, 2008 at 11:07 am

I also ‘lost’ my Yahoo Classic, but got it back by doing this: In Google address bar, type in http:// us.f509.mail.yahoo.com The Classic sign-in page should appear. Save it in your favourites before you sign-in. After it’s saved, right-click it and send it to your desktop as a shortcut. When you then sign-in, you should get your Classic mailbox. Worked for me and still is.

February 27th, 2008 at 5:10 pm

contrary to your believe of us getting use to the new mail web site. It has many bugs, and it moves too slow. I want my old yahoo and the web site won’t let me get it back.

I have been trying now for a few days to log onto my yahoo ‘beta’ from a computer and actually look at my email and i am unable too. But when i log on from my IPhone it works fine. Also when i try to switch back to “Classic View” It nothing happens on the screen. Its utterly impossible to change back!! Does anyone have a solution!

I tried switching back to Mail Classic and instead of getting that I stumbled into the NON-JAVA version of yahoo classic. Now I don’t even have the option to upgrade back to the yahoo beta or yahoo classic. Any suggestions?

March 9th, 2008 at 3:31 am

i cannot switch back to classic mail! when i tried clicking “mail classic” near “sign out”, the browser said that the javascript was void and it wouldnt load! i even tried clicking the “options” link, but then it wouldnt load too! the browser said “errors on page”. PLEASE FIX THIS! Im really having a hard time with the new yahoo mail.

March 10th, 2008 at 3:22 am

Everybody look at the comment from Feb.26,2008 about Classic Yahoo fix.

March 11th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

I was using Explorer and had all the problems you people are talking about, so I went into Yahoo Beta mail with firefox and it let me set it back to classic without the java errors….Hope this helps out

March 16th, 2008 at 10:15 am

I feel that yahoo mail was ok,however even with dialup it seemed slower than usual,I would like to try yahoo classic to see if it loads quicker.thanks jw.

March 17th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

I switched to Beta accidentaly, and now all i see is a black white page with a few options, and thats it. No option to switch, just the links of “trouble signing in”, “my account”, “yahoo”, “my yahoo”, “news”…whats the deal here? I can’t change anything, and I’m skeptical if I’ll ever get back to my classic mail at all now!…What do i need to do? ASAP

March 17th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

I am trying hard to switch back to New Yahoo beta. But couldnt get the link” The new Yahoo! Mail has arrived! Try it now!”. In my “Options” page there is only links to Filters Signatures etc. HELP HELP

March 18th, 2008 at 4:39 pm

None of the boxes, icons, drop dows are available to make the change back to to original emai. Please help.

March 18th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

please help getting back to the original email. None of the icons, dropdowns or helpers are on the new mail site. I did not ask to be changed to the new site? What is going on?

March 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

After reading all of the above, I think I may have to change email altogether if I can’t get the original back. Maybe I’ve lost patience after spending most of the day trying “everything” to get back where I started. I even went to the FEB 26th blog and tried it. That didn’t take me to anything resembling an email. So, for what it’s worth I really want my old email back. Any chance of getting an answer to this mess in my life time?None of the info given to make the change is on the new email page. No icons, drop downs, nothing. What is goin gon?

March 20th, 2008 at 1:53 am

There is no “Switch Back” facility under the Welcome..your name, so I cannot revert back.

I cannot remember choosing to use the new version.

The predictive text from most of my addresses in the address book does not work, so it is pointless.

The “Check All” facility has gone.

How do you report Spam in your Inbox?

Please give me the old version back?

I have tried the “Help Desk”, but just go round in circles after 2 days.

March 20th, 2008 at 6:44 am

My computer isn’t that slow, but it’s hard to do anything on the New Yahoo E-mail setup. I can’t compose a new message; I can’t even switch to Classic Mail – it won’t let me! Error on page…

March 21st, 2008 at 11:40 pm

I can switch to my old home page but get an error message when trying to switch back to the old version for email. I wouldn’t need to switch back if the new version would let me reply to email!

Help Desk is no help!

HELP!

March 24th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

I want the Classic back. I’ve tried numerous suggestions to switch back to classic and none of them work. Under my username there isn’t a mail classic button, and if I go to options there is nothing there either. There are several explanations posted how to switch back but none of them work for me. After reading other posts at least I know I’m not alone. PLEASE HELP!!

March 30th, 2008 at 4:58 am

In answer to ‘jonny’ March 30th. I’ve got the same problem (like we all have) but the only way I have been able to access my mails is to go to ‘sent’ they come up quickly, then go to ‘inbox’. This seems to be the only way I can access them. Hope it helps.(Seen my comment after yours??)

April 1st, 2008 at 11:05 am

There is no switch back on the options or under my name as stated, please fix it, I want my classic back

April 3rd, 2008 at 1:09 pm

April 3rd, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Here is a link to switch back to Classic mail, you can save it as a favorite and use it to sign in with to get back to Classic mail after logging out or click on after signing in to Beta to get back to Classic – works for me. You can also add it to your Yahoo toolbar.

One more time, here is a link to “opt out” of Beta email, you have to be signed in when clicking on the button

http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/optout?script=no

April 5th, 2008 at 8:41 pm

I don’t see the “Options drop-down menu”. The article above says that “At the bottom of the menu is the option to “Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic…””.

Where? I don’t see it all! Meanwhile this stupid new version of Yahoo Mail doesn’t load. So I waste a lot of time every time to switch to good old Mail Classic. Give me back my Mail Classic!

April 7th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

I tried several of the suggestions listed above to switch back to Classic but nothing worked. I was pleasently surprised when I checked my email from someone elses computer and Classic mail appeared. Once I got home and logged in on my usual computer my Classic mail was back. I’ve been ok for a few weeks now. I hope this helps.

April 11th, 2008 at 5:20 pm

I am normal after all, I have all of the above, my mail page is very basic, no option to switch back to classic, I think this is a preclassic page, my husbands mail page is allright, why did mine change and his stayed the same, I have even done a system restore incase I had done something without knowing.
And for the old log out page by Mike, what do you mean old, thats what I still have, have had nothing else.So whats the new one.
As I can see I am not the only person with this problem, please fix it as its driving me nuts.

April 12th, 2008 at 8:16 am

just please Yahoo, refer to a how to step by step so that we can get our email and all our email addresses sorted out. thank you

April 12th, 2008 at 8:13 pm

Wow! I used to use this as my primary email, but the new yahoo mail is horrible!!!!

April 15th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

how can you switch back to classic from the OLD OLD original yahoo mail? i’ve found myself in quite a fit trying to get around my javascript and accidentally shot myself a zillion years back in yahoo versions, haha… any suggestions? links?

April 19th, 2008 at 9:22 am

I want my old mail clasical

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:04 am

Hi Team
I am suggesting adding an option to encoding in the new yahoo classic mail. The new option would be to assign a fixed encoding beside other encoding options.
Thank you

April 23rd, 2008 at 11:20 am

i had yahoo mail beta and i log on and now it is just regular email i want mail beta back give me it back

May 5th, 2008 at 6:26 am

We were changed to the new beta version without being asked. There is no link under our name to allow switching back to the old version, nor is there a link in the drop down menu under Options to switch back, as stated in the instructions on how to switch back.
In the new version, we cannot see how to delete all of the bulk messages at once without having to check each individual message as there is no Check All option.
And, the spam filtering doesn’t appear to be much better than in the old addition, except that this morning only 20% of the spam messages were in the In Box, as opposed to 50% yesterday morning.

May 7th, 2008 at 9:45 am

I switched to classic and now can’t get back (no purple box despite what comment says above). I have also tried to set up my Outlook with my business account using the setting on my yahoo acct, and when Outlook tries to access it yahoo responds that I am not a biz mail user – I AM!
Thank you

May 9th, 2008 at 12:10 am

There simply is no option button in my version of Mail classic or am I going blind….I had to change back from beta to fix something and now I can’t get back to beta or all new

May 9th, 2008 at 5:16 pm

I have the same problem as many people. I was working with the yahoo beta, and accidentally switched it to the classic, but now I can’t switch back to the beta. I’m trying with the Options, but no option of Try the new mail appears. Same thing happen with the All-New Mail.
Pls help

May 10th, 2008 at 2:55 am

I can’t find a switch back option either, I want to go back to the old way, anf I’m fed up with it keep changing without my pressing any options.

May 12th, 2008 at 9:57 pm

Same problem here. I accidentally switched to Classic and despite what the answer tells me, there is not purple box and there is not link allowing me to swtich back to the new Yahoo Mail (beta). Someone from Yahoo, please hear our pleas and help us!

May 13th, 2008 at 7:55 am

they need to put yahoo classic back on there this now mail sucks

May 15th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

I AM LETTING YOU KNOW THAT’S THE YAHOO BETA IS A BIG PROBLEM AND VERY SLOW TO OPENING ANY FRIEND EMAILS FOR READ. I AM NOT INTERESTING WITH YAHOO BETA BECAUSE TO CLICK FOR OPEN THERE EMAIL SAID LOAD AS LONG TIME TO WAIT FOR READ THERE EMAILS.

THE BEST USING WITH YAHOO CLASSIC BECAUSE EASY OPEN READ THERE EMAILS AND FASTER OPENING.

I READ THE PEOPLE ASK HOW TO SWITCHED FROM YAHOO BETA TO YAHOO CLASSIC THAT’S VERY SIMPLE. IF YOU ARE ON YAHOO BETA SWITCHED BACK TO YAHOO CLASSIC SO ON YAHOO BETA ON TOP NEAR ON LEFT SIDE YOU SEE SAID SWITCHED YAHOO CLASSIC THEN CLICK THERE IS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION SEND ME AN EMAIL AT antonioqpr@yahoo.com

DEAR YAHOO SERVICES, WHY YOU SAID THAT’S NOT LONGER WITH YAHOOO CLASSIC?????????? ARE YOU FORCING ALL PEOPLE TO USING WITH YAHOO BETA? DON’T EVER FORCE TO ANY PEOPLE. DID YOU READ WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID THAT’S THE YAHOO BETA HAS A BIG TIME PROBLEM WITH OPENING AN EMAILS AND ETC…. THINKING ABOUT IT….

THE YAHOO CLASSIC IS STIL ALIVE FOREVER.

I don’t have a drop down OPTIONS on my toolbar and I don’t see the “switch back” below my name on the mail home page. Now what?

May 19th, 2008 at 5:38 am

Thank you for your kind responses, but there is NO purple box, Options drop-down button, or the words “mail classic” or whatever is supposed to be by my name/yahoo id on the mail page. I see this is not an uncommon problem. Why Yahoo won’t fix it is beyond me.

May 21st, 2008 at 3:16 am

The problem remains… There is NO purple box, Options drop-down button, or the words “mail classic” or whatever is supposed to be by my name/yahoo id on the mail page. Since yahoo mail took me back into classic view, i cannot return to the new version! Please, advice something else…

May 21st, 2008 at 12:24 pm

the letters on the new are to small to read

May 24th, 2008 at 4:09 am

Want to switch to the new yahoomail

May 26th, 2008 at 9:15 am

I switched from classic mail to 7mail, now I log in but browser (FireFox) locks up can’t get back to classic can no longer access any of my mail.
HELP!!!

May 30th, 2008 at 7:29 am

I’ve had 2 emails now that went from the old Classic to the New Classic, with that flag column. This has messed up my eprompter. I’m very upset about this change, without my knowledge, as these 2 emails are really important, and I’d like to get to them without having to open the browser all the time. This is the stupidest thing a company can do, change something that’s worked for years. Especially without asking.

June 6th, 2008 at 8:26 am

I have been using “Full Headers” for years, searching various “WhoIs” databases to track PHISHING and SPAM to the abusers’ ISP’s. This new version apparently destroyed that capability; or, how do I get “Full Headers” now??????

June 6th, 2008 at 9:18 pm

Without warning, I was switched to BETA and when I went back to the classic mail, my personal folders for work, address book, and unread emails all have disappeared! I have been with you people since I purchased my first computer back in the mid 90′s. I haven’t had any problems until now. Yes, I’m VERY upset, frustrated, etc. I pay for DSL every month…might as well have dialup with the slow speeds I am experiencing. HELP!!!

June 7th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

I PREFER CLASSIC MAIL

June 8th, 2008 at 10:28 am

i want my original yahoo back. All of a sudden i could not sign in even tho everything was ok in the sign in box. i had to go and re-register with new password.
I am seriously thinking of cancelling Yahoo.

The headache in trying to sign in AGAIN with new sign in is just not worth it.

June 13th, 2008 at 11:09 am

What a feeble roll-out this new product has been. I have read most of the posts on this thread and I think I only saw three positive comments. For me right now I cant switch back to the original Yahoo mail. With the new mail client I am not able to replay to a message, forward a message nor attach attachments. So far this new deployment is a flop (just read what your customers are saying here Yahoo)
I hear Microsoft coming Yahoo so either make a better product or sell the company off.

June 14th, 2008 at 4:55 pm

There is no switch back anywhere under my user name and I am angry that you keep saying there
is, I want my ols mail back!!!!

June 16th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

I just hate this new yahoo mail. Why didn’t they just leave it all alone? I do not enjoy checking my mail anymore–there is always so much more stuff that should have gone to spam.

June 20th, 2008 at 4:55 am

I wonder that there is not even one person that can answer the question how to switch back to beta mail from classic (or the other way round) where there is no option switch on the screen. And I have read many comments of quite a number frustrated people with the same problem. Is it really not possible to get a link so we can switch between beta and classic mails, especially when the option switch disappears from our screen in a mysterious way?

June 21st, 2008 at 12:38 pm

Switching bac to classic, iprefer classic mail

June 22nd, 2008 at 4:12 pm

The New Updated Yahoo Mail classic don’t read the arbic language, please I need to how to solve the proplem or to know how can i swich to the old yahoo mail classic not the updated one …. thanks,

I, too, despise this new My Yahoo. They supposedly give you an option to “Switch back to classic” in the upper right hand corner – but it doesn’t work. I don’t want all the fancy fonts and graphics, just a clean text page.

I finally deleted all my cookies and history under my internet options and was able to get back to My Yahoo Classic. We’ll see how long it lasts, because they seem to be forcing the change on those of us who want nothing to do with it.

July 2nd, 2008 at 5:47 am

hi
i’m using yahoo mail classic and want to switch yahoo mail beta

pls send me
thanks

July 10th, 2008 at 11:47 am

Each time I log on to my yahoo mail, I can’t access any link. Each time I try to access any link I get a pop up message informing me about Mail and Yahoo Messenger and giving me the option to go back to inbox. Nothing happens after clicking the option to go back to inbox, instead my inbox gets greyed out and i can’t access any link. This happened after clicking on the upgrade link on my yahoo inbox.

Please help, I really need to get into my inbox.

July 14th, 2008 at 10:02 am

Why is it so hard to switch to beta yahoo

July 16th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

I haven’t been able to access my mail on yahoo for at least 2 months, I’ve tried all the ‘fixes’ and even tried logging into another account & using other browsers as well.

I get error messages like this link will never complete it is trying to redirect through another link to the original (or something like that)

Is it just me or should I just quit using (or trying to) use Yahoo Mail

August 5th, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Hi,I would like to know whether there is any possibility in saving the chat in yahoo mail beta version. Kindly reply this to the given id.
Advance thanks

August 22nd, 2008 at 8:06 am

October 5th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

how do i change to the new yahoo messenger with the chat?
i want to know because what you have shown isn’t the yahoo mail i have.i have the old yahoo mail.

October 12th, 2008 at 9:26 am

I send many emails and in the old version of Yahoo the e-mail wider then the new version. I find this very annoying. Is it possible to obtain a wider email face on the new version?

October 14th, 2008 at 12:22 am

I think its good if yahoo add a image upload tool just like in the hotmail.its too hard to upload images in yahoo now.

October 14th, 2008 at 10:59 pm

The “new” Yahoo mail refuses to load – have tried IE8, Firefox 3 and Chrome. I can sometimes get in via Yahoo! Mail Classic. Is there a direct link available – something along the lines of mail.yahoo.com/classic ? I have bookmarked a successful previous entry point, but could not guarantee that it would work after logging out of Yahoo.

October 14th, 2008 at 11:09 pm

Is there a standard link that will go straight to Classic Yahoo Mail? This is because I cannot get the new Yahoo Mail to load – despite attempting on IE, Firefox & Chrome.

Many thanks,

Ian

October 16th, 2008 at 1:50 am

i was typing using beta version when all of the sudden, it doesnt allow me to write any text at al. even after i close and reopen a new mail. funny.

i have to switch back to classic version.

October 23rd, 2008 at 10:45 pm

We still can’t read Arabic e-mails. I think I’m gonna switch to gmail.

November 4th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

No scroll bar in message list in new mail. Cookies not the problem. Bad. Thanks.

November 6th, 2008 at 7:25 am

Somehow I’m in the Beta version and it is not working. The link to switch back (on the left) doesn’t do anything, and options won’t load, it just keeps looping saying “loading”. I’m really annoyed and at a loss. Been dealing with this for too long already. Thanks and pls send me an email on what to do! My computer is OLD.

November 13th, 2008 at 9:28 am

just use to the old yahoo system
