We’ve received feedback from some of our readers, that they are unable to easily switch back to Classic Mail from New Mail.

Firstly, please try the instructions outlined here by Tasla.

If that doesn’t do the trick, try clicking upon Options (found to the top-right of your Mail) and then select Switch to Yahoo!7 Mail Classic as shown below:

Get back to Classic Mail

It’s that easy :D

    Yep, I like the classic version either.

    I do not like your new email format. Please switch me back to the old version. I always liked that it was different from other email services which I did not like. I never changed from yahoo when switching carriers for that reason. I do not like the new email at all.

    I don’t like the new mail at all. I am having trouble switching back. I liked the old mail much better. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!

    HELP!!!!

    Somehow I got tricked into moving to Yahoo 7.
    I was completely happy with Classic.

    But now, I am STUCK between the two – 7 & Classic – cannot get into either, cannot read my mail.

    I have not been able to access emails for more than 2 days now.

    I am in neither one nor the other – classic or 7.

    My emails are mounting up – I urgently need to access them. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    Classic is great – couldn’t wish for anything better. Never wanted Yahoo 7, was trapped into a VOID. Help me access my emails please.

    I HATE YAHOO 7.

    If you cannot help me get to my emails, Yahoo, you’ll be history as far as I an concerned.

    I am so desperate, I even tried to get fully into 7. But that is not working. When I click “GO TO MY MAIL” page it returns me to the same page
    I was on previously keeps coming up. I keep clicking and never getting anywhere.

    I am completely blocked from moving forward or backward – meanwhile my emails are mounting up.

    I am on the Yahoo 7 mail page – I click on “GO TO MY MAIL” it refreshes to the same page.

    I am in a terrible loop that cannot get beyond the ” Yahoo 7 MAIL “GO TO MY MAIL”

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    It’s an impossible task to get back to Classic Mail. Don’t even know how I lose it and the the problem to get it back. There’s got to be an easier way;. I’ve been trying everything for the past half hour and nothing…..

    Yahoo mail classic is easier and more user friendly. I feel robbed and my human rights violated when my yahoo mail classic was snatched and switched with an unfamiliar thingamajig!

  • 13. Marie Andal&hellip  |  May 12th, 2010 at 12:09 pm

    The problem is that the options do not have the “please return to classic mail”, hence I cannot return to the classic mail. PLEASE PUT ME BACK TO THE CLASSIC MAIL. You should have asked your users first and not just switch us to the yahoo mail 7.

  • 14. Lsa Wayda&hellip  |  May 22nd, 2010 at 9:28 am

    I don’t like the new format and I don’t have the option to switch back to classic on my options drop down menu. Any other ideas?

  • 15. cynthia&hellip  |  June 17th, 2010 at 8:39 am

    new mail is an umitigated disaster. The option to return to classic mail must be made immediately viisible on opening home page and remain a permanent feature. Loyal paying customers are stuck in a tiny reading panel bombarded with unwanted advice and ads. Att has become user unfriendly sadly.

  • 16. marge&hellip  |  June 20th, 2010 at 2:47 am

    I can switch to classic—–temporarly. As soon as I open another e mail I’m back in the new one! I want to change back to Classic permanently!

  • 17. Elaine&hellip  |  September 3rd, 2010 at 12:33 am

    I only wanted to see what the new one is like and I was switched without saying I wanted the new one. Why does that happen? I’ve read more people don’t like the new one. Why be forced to the new yahoo? I like the classic still. When they switched me, now I can’t “chat” and it keeps saying that I have been disconnected from “chat”. I want “chat” and the new yahoo mail does not offer that?
