There are some instances where our internet connection goes slow because of weather interference, natural disasters that affects local ISPs, or sometimes sharing many internet users in one connection, and more. Whatever reasons would that be,  it would not change that fact that you need to open your Yahoo Mail because of possible email arrivals that might come from your friends, significant others, office mates and business contacts. Sometimes the new Yahoo Mail Interface might not work in every case or circumstance, and we need the old or the classic version of the Yahoo Mail for it to be opened. Also there is a topic created for this issue about returning the Yahoo Mail’s old version back. The Yahoo Mail Classic was use simple graphics and html version is lower, which means it does not cost high bandwidth or high speed internet for it to load. Now, how do we open the old version of Yahoo Mail? How do we switch it back? How do we return tothe classic view?

FINDING THE SOLUTION

I’ve been Googling on how I can really revert my Yahoo Inbox view to the classic one. There are many answers on the search results but it is not easy to find the correct one. This common problem has always been found on the Question and Answer community of Yahoo – the “Yahoo Answers” but none of the answers actually helped me figure out the solution. So I browsed more sites such as technology forums and blogs just to find out the solution and the result? I end up getting tired up and being frustrated after searching for a while. It is worth mentioning that some websites did gave me hints on the possible solutions to this. After gathering all the information, I ended up experimenting. The new Yahoo Mail View contains many features and settings. What I did – I explored and experimented on its settings and later on finding the first resolve. To be honest, I also have a life hack before when it comes to this problem by removing the new add-on to the URLs on Yahoo Mail which makes this my second resolve to this problem.

May I present to you the solutions to your question on how you can go back to the classic version of the YM – The answers are given below.
