Yep, they've closed the loophole link that allowed people to continue using the old Yahoo! Mail design. Using https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails now displays the crappy revamp design.
Considering the popularity of the loophole, you'd think Yahoo would get the message. But no, it's Yahoo's way come hell or high water.

It's gone again. I just read that they declared the yahoo assets worthless. If that's the case, why are they wasting money making dopey improvements? Please bring back classic version.

Thank you Donna. Everyone please keep posting these instructions as long as they last.
Oh and Yahoo darling: i am in fact taking screenshots of all communications here (just 'cause i know your wondering). And ya, screenshots of this absurd user "service" agreement you're trying to force on me that says in the fine print i must waive the right to enter into a class-action lawsuit against you. Its just 'cause, well, i just love you so much y'know, really.
TO GET BACK CLASSIC try this:
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 -

hahaha...and now Yahoo is putting up an "agreement" they want me to click on everytime i try to log in that essentially tries to get me to waive my right to enter into a class action law suit against them. Funny coincidence how this is popping up every time i do anything in Yahoo now. Gee they must really like me or something to be giving me all this attention. Too bad they seem to be spending more time and effort on people like me than on simply responding to user's complaints here. Chickenshyte frauds...

yup. Class action law suit may be the only way to go. Try this one to get back to Yahoo Basic:

Well, now it's official... yahoo mail totally sucks!!! None of the previous tips to keep the classic version useable no longer work, and now we're all stuck with this s**t. Is it me, or is yahoo mail going down the path that lycos mail went? So much for user input making a d**n bit of difference. Good luck, everyone.

they changed the https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails.com%2Fd url apprently on July 18, 2019 or something is stuck in my browser cache because I'm using https://mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?action=mails.com%2Fd and it's rerouting me to the new mail even though I have been telling no when asking to update to the new version. if someone has a new link for the old view it would be helpful.

POSTNOTE: This is not a forum for addressing your complaints. It is just an outlet for people to cry about forced changes until it sets in that Yahoo is not going to reinstate the Classic mail that everyone here wants. The reasons have to do with a new system that is designed to better track everything you write or say in order to generate data patterns on everyone who uses the net. Reasons have to do with tapered advertisements, location tracking, national security, political power consolidation, but ultimately its just about control. We can cry all we want here. The only thing it will do is generate lists of people who are considered potential threats to the new system.
The only thing yahoo might respond to is a class-action law suit. Perhaps even better would be a new service provider jumping on the opportunity to take away all the disgruntled yahoo users with a mail format that is like the classic system and includes direct data transfer of all emails to said new provider. There is an overwhelming market here for any company that can step up to it.

New Yahoo Mail is horrible - it is so slow it may as well be frozen. A classic case of "fixing" something that was not broken. Bring back Classic mail.

The only way to improve Yahoo mail is to get rid of this new garbage and give us back the Classic e-mail format.
