i hate being told what I MUST do. It's the government, it's my boss, and I won't take it from Yahoo, also!

Boosting for a fellow user. It worked for me too. From another post by Kristof Erkiletian:

POSSIBLE WAY TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this, it DOES work for me
PLEASE HELP ME AND KEEP COPYING AND PASTING MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE

1) Open and log into sh*tty new Yahoo email if you aren't already
2) Copy this text: https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails
3) Open a new Chrome browser window while keeping sh*tty one open
4) Paste the text into new brower window
5) Close sh*tty new yahoo browser window
6) if it worked, BOOKMARK copied link in new window (this is important as it will become your goto-button everytime you log in to get back to Classic)
7) Raise middle finger of victory and KEEP SENDING YAHOO YOUR SENTIMENT

I want basic mail back. I shouldn't have to spend hours trying to figure out how to do this. Why can't you leave it alone if I don't press the button to change to your new format, which I don't like? I want basic back but I don't see the option under settings.

I want my old format back, Please...!

I want the old format back.....I am very displeased with the new one!!!!
Please give us the option back.

I want my old format back , please.

I want my old format back, please, thank you.

As Steve Goldstein said, I want my old yahoo mail back, this new one is not adequate

I absolutely HATE that Yahoo keeps changing my email format to a ****** version! Each and every time I have gone back to the old format which I like and want. Now, as noted on another comment--there isn't an option to go back.

I would really like the old format back. If i wanted a new email i would have changed to another provider.

The new version is slower and is not practical at all. I want my old yahoo mail version please!

I want my old format back as well this one sucks

I have tired the new version three times now (today makes four) and have switched back every single time, which was easy to do. Now I don't see the option to do so anymore. I prefer the old version for many reasons and do NOT want to be forced to the new version with no option to go back, which is now the case.

I want old email back, this new version sucks.

NEW VERSION SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY OLD VERSION BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God F u c k i n g ****** YAHOO!!! F U C K Y O U!!!! and SWITCH MY E-MAIL BACK!!!

THE NEW E-MAIL FORMAT TOTALLY SUCKS!!! BRING BACK THE CLASSIC VIEW OPTION!!!
