I hate your "New Mail" format. You switched it up on me and now I cannot go back to the old. Just the Older than Older with no options for appearance. It SUCKS>

To do the change automatically was a rotten trick. I HATE THE NEW FORMAT. It isn't that I dislike it or I'm unpleased with it. I HATE IT!

TO GET BACK CLASSIC follow these instructions on your computer:
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) -

Seems they are getting more effective at kicking me off this forum recently.
PLEASE HELP ME AND COPY/POST MY INSTRUCTIONS HERE when you comment:TO GET BACK CLASSIC follow these instructions on your computer:

7) Raise middle finger of victory and KEEP SENDING YAHOO YOUR SENTIMENTSome here know that i've been posting these instructions for some time now. Recently i had to take an unexpected break. But i'm back again now. To post on these message boards requires a minimum age of 13 years old. Apparently Yahoo got sick of me posting this hack around their awful new system and actually went into my account and reduced my age to below 13 (!) Tuff gig to justify given i've had my yahoo acct more than 20 years. Perhaps they're trying to tell me that i'm being, uh, childish about continually helping people get back to Classic mail? Whatever. Interestingly however, this is NOT the first time that Yahoo staff has directly gone into my personal account and made changes due to my continually expressing outrage at their absolute blatant disregard for customer requests. They know that nobody wants these changes. They know good and well. "Gathering Feedback"..ha, ya right. But the fact is, they simply do not give a rats fat one.
Why? Well there are a few reasons. One is that Yahoo has become an overly corporate controlled mess full of so called leaders who really don't know much what they're doing and have to justify their over-compensated pay rates somehow; hence "improvements" by said "experts" MUST be made. Another is that if they push the garbage new system for free they can then offer to do you the "favor" of changing it back if you pay for their service now. Heck you've registered your email and domain names with them so all your social and business contacts are used to reaching you in a certain way, so they figure why not use that control they have over the contacts YOU'VE built up over decades to force new changes on you, right? I mean after all, if you don't like it they can sit back smugly and say that you have options: to move to a new "provider". At your own time and expense. At your own efforts to inform all the contacts you've built up over years to adjust to your new info. No problem.
But that's not the ultimate reason. The most fundamental ultimate underlying reason for all these garbage changes is something they really really don't want you or anyone to know about. If they did, they would simply state why it is they are forcing everyone to endure these changes without explanation. The real reason has to do with a new system that is monumentally easier for everything in it, (and i do mean EVERYTHING...everything typed, clicked, and sent) to be MONITORED. The new system includes extreme monitoring capabilities; everything you write in an email or message, or even write then edit and finally send, can be tracked and searched for patterns. Coupled with advanced computing capabilities, such patterns can be used to deduce nearly every detail about an individual. Routines, interests, contacts, just about everything really. This can be used in a variety of ways: advertisements tapered specifically to you, knowledge of your daily routines for tracking purposes, terrorism and natl security threat detection, U-name it. And while a ton of excuses can be used to justify all of this snooping, what it really boils down to is just flat out CONTROL. Try having a deep conversation with a typical CEO and you'll get an idea just how much control-freak paranoia characterizes those running anything at the top level.
So i think people can protest here until they're blue in the fingertips about how much they dont want yahoo measuring thru every inch of **** that comes out our butts. Ultimately yahoo cares not at all what we want. But again, since i obviously in Yahoo's eyes have the mental level of a sub-13 year old, perhaps i'm just a whiny child with nothing really worthy to say. Right yahoo? Guess they'll just keep on trying to figure out ways to censor me. Whatever. If thats how i'm viewed, i might as well keep writing like a child. Yahoo: suck mine and swallow all nine. Try not to choke on the bone, yo. Have a nice day.

New version is annoying, more difficult to use and full of intrusive and repetitive ads

Rebecca Worthley commented
I am unable to get my messages that I have subscibed to. I get advertisements all the the time that I cannot get rid of.I cannot search from my email page for other sites. I am changing to another email in a month. This is nuts and not an improvement at all!

The new format is horrible. It always deletes saved emails from my inbox without a specific command to do so, sends them to Trash. Now i always have to double check messages in Trash and Restore to Inbox the emails that were indiscriminately Trashed. What a waste of my time! Yahoo is forcing me to abandon ship after 20+ years if they can't restore the old format.

Gerald Conrad commented
terrible new email screen. I also hate that I must keep hitting on the > to go to full page width after every email. Also need to be able to narrow the inbox column and keep it narrow so you have more space to view message.

DO like COMCAST ad have a HIDE AD button. And after we click on it, the ADs should STAY HIDDEN. Like on Comcast.
Maybe we should ALL switch to COMCAST Xfinity. they have a better FORMAT. -

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. PLEASE give me the original yahoo classic. I really hate this new format. It gives me less control over what I need/use everyday.
I use yahoo as my personal email and my work email, so I'm using it a minimum of 8 hours a day. Please give me back what worked perfectly fine! -
Joe Swagerty commented
This new format is atrocious. I've been saying NO NO NO every time your pop up came up saying I could move to the new format. NO! No one wants this garbage. Put it back to the old format that I was using until you FORCED my session to end and when I came back it was this new hideous format. I'll give this 1 week, and if it isn't back to what I am used to I will stop using your service all together. I have plenty of other email accounts, but I had stuck with Yahoo because the format was the best. Now it is simply the WORST.
