Trouble with the new version of Yahoo email.

I am having trouble with the new version of Yahoo email, yet I really want to switch back to Classic Yahoo email.

I have a 2003 vintage desktop Dell computer with Windows XP.

Since I use web based email only (Yahoo! and Gmail), earlier last week when I logged onto my Classic Yahoo email account, I was forced by Yahoo to upgrade to the new version of their email (otherwise I could not get into my email), since it appears that they no longer offer a button/option to switch back to the Classic email version.

So a long story short, I received this suggestion (below) from someone online, but I do not think changing the resolution on my monitor is going to work as this person suggested since "I think" a monitor and hard drive work independently of each other. Your thoughts?

If this is doable, can someone walk me through this. Thank you.

However, there is (currently) a "workaround" to get back to Classic that works for most.

Just lower the page "resolution" to the point where it won't support the Beta version and you will be asked if you want to switch to Classic.

Obviously click Yes.

Once you are "firmly" back in Classic---you can return the page resolution if you want.
 
U can try it and see, it will never hurt to, i hate that Yahoo forced ya to switch, yahoo did forced me too and i hate it!
 
Okay here is an update:

Though I am not very computer savvy, I was able to follow the instructions via going to my “control panel”, then select “display”, and then select “settings”. In order to change the resolution (per the instructions), then switch back to the Classic Yahoo email, and then return my monitor back to the original resolution settings. This entire process took less than 3 minutes to do from start to finish.

So I hope this information helps all of those of you with the same problem.

Wilson ;)
 
Sooner or later they will force you to switch and Classic Yahoo mail won't work anymore. This really sucks.
 
Thanks GamerBear. Yes, I think you are right. I have already heard rumors that Yahoo is going to force the new version of Yahoo email officially on its current users on August 1, 2011 . . . and the changing the resolution option will not allow you to change back to the Classic Yahoo email. MAJOR FROWN!!!
 
I tried the new mail when it first came out for testing. I opened 1 Email, closed it up without reading, and switched back to Classic. I hope they fix it before they force the change.
 
Gsdx, when you said "I hope they fix it before they force the change." I was curious to know what trouble(s) did you have with the new version?

Wilson :confused:
 
^ I can't remember. It was a long time ago. I seem to recall that I couldn't make the Email fit in the window without having to scroll to the right, and I believe there was something about the layout. Whatever it was, I remember it being very frustrating.
