Recently there was an option called "Return to Original Mail!" under the "Help" menu, but now it's no longer available and there seem to be no other options other than disabling the Firefox javascript from firefox settings.
Before you login, open Firefox click "Tools" and then "Options" and select "Content", from there, click "Disable Javascript" click "Apply" or "Ok" to save the changes made and restart your Firefox. Now to to Yahoo!Mail and login, once you are signed, you'll be prompted whether you would like to go to Yahoo! Mail classic or not, or you may be asked to enable Javascript to run the page, carefully check the warnings or message and do whatever you think would open the Mail Classic, if it's related to javascript, proceed without the Javascript, this will open your mail is Classic Mail (I have mentioned two example warnings because they both will show up or one of them will definitely show up). Now you are in Yahoo! Mail Classic version, and it's been set, means you have returned to Yahoo! Mail Classic. Whenever you login through another browser eg. Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, it will remain as it is now.
Note: This method doesn't work with Internet Explorer 8 and 9 and Google Chrome.
Good Luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.

I don't like the new inbox I want the old one now if you won't switch me you are forcing me into something that I hate and I will end canceling my internet

Please don't be upset. The switch was mandatory at some point, but Yahoo does know that there are issues with the new version.

To switch back, sign into your mail account. Click options on the right hand side of the page, and click switch to mail classic.

This will switch your account back to the old version.

I want my old yahoo back..i am frustrated ..you guys tricked me into this new one...i want my old one back..i don't know how to do it..

I apologise for the delay in my reply, but I only recently found the solution to this problem.

Yes the new Yahoo Mail Beta is frustrating. I never switched myself knowing that people were having problems, and not wanting to be forced into it, I asked about a solution.

Below are the instructions that Yahoo sent me, follow them, and Yahoo will switch you back to Classic Mail.

Please bear in mind, this could take up to a week to be completed, but it will be done.



You will need to contact Yahoo at the address below. Please follow these instructions in order to return.


[email protected] Please put in the subject line: I want to return to Mail Classic.

I understand you would like to return to Classic Mail in your Yahoo!
Mail Account. I know this can be frustrating, I apologize for the
inconvenience this may be causing you. I'd be happy to address this for
you.

If you would prefer to use Yahoo! Mail Classic, I would be glad to
switch your account to that version.

In order to make this change to your account, I will need your written
permission. If you would like to switch to Classic, please reply to this
email with the following information:

* Please confirm that you would like me to switch your account to Yahoo!
Mail Classic

* Please let us know why you would like to switch. We're eager to
understand what features of the newest version of Yahoo! Mail we can
change or improve; and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced; and we
hope we can help improve your experience using Yahoo! Mail.

I hope that with this information your issues have been resolved, if you
have further questions or need additional help please contact us back.

MI clicked on the new yahoo email page I don't like it and wan't to return to my old page

After the introduction of the new version of mail, Yahoo will not be returning back to the classic version. Unfortunately the reviews I've read make it look like the best mail program out there, which is not proving to be the case.

My advice is to contact Yahoo as I have, and ask them to change it back due to the issues you're facing. If enough people do this, then maybe they'll reconsider their actions.

I have recently switched to the new version of yahoo mail. Unfortunately I don't like this new version, and I think a few features on the old version are missing here. I would like to switch to my old...

Unfortunately there is no way to switch back to mail classic. The new version is still in Beta testing, so they will have to work out the bugs before going live officially.

I wish there were a solution to this problem, but until Yahoo realizes the seriousness of this, they will not do anything about it.

I want my old yahoo mail back. please put it back and don't change it again.

The old version will not be coming back, though I would hope, with enough user complaints, they would do so.

Right now, there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry, I really wish I could help.

I want yahoo classic mail do not like the new mail and can't use messinger with it

Hello, I'm sorry but yahoo mail classic is no longer available. Yahoo has disabled the old mail to encourage users to continue with the newest version. You are allowed a switchback temporarily if you have a slow connection.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/migrating/fromclassic/mltamnoswitch.html

To use messenger just click on Top Contacts, usually under Folders. Click on the person you want to chat with to begin chatting. To sign in or out click the Bolt icon next to it.
Don't worry though, yahoo has promised to make the new mail so much better.

Hi there Fran, unfortunately, there is no way to revert to an older version of Yahoo Mail as they encourage users to migrate to the newest version.

Spell checker not working in Yahoo email

" A few of you have been reporting that you are having issues with the spell-checker in the new version of Yahoo! Mail. I just want to let you know that we are aware of the issue and will have a fix out soon.
In the meantime, you can use the built-in spell checking functionality of some of today’s modern browsers. For example, the latest versions of Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari all have in-line spell checkers. If you don’t have one of those browsers installed or don’t want to install one, you can use classic Yahoo! Mail until we have rolled out the fix (from ‘Options’ click the ‘Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic’ link)."
