How To Switch Back To Yahoo! Mail Classic

The new version of Yahoo! Mail is sleek, stylish and fast. But you need a faster Internet connection for better browsing experience. In slow connections you may experience some problems in opening your emails. Are you on Yahoo! too? Not happy with your Internet speed and unable to open your mails? Want to switch back to a previous version or Yahoo Mail Classic? If yes, follow the steps below and switch back to Yahoo! Mail Classic today.

How to return to Yahoo! Mail Classic:

• In Firefox go to Tools and open Options.
• Under the Content tab uncheck “Enable JavaScript”.
• Open Yahoo mail URL and login using your id and password.
• A notice will appear saying that JavaScript is needed to be enabled for using the new Yahoo! Mail. There you’ll see two options to return to a previous version of Yahoo! Mail. Choose the first option to switch just for one time or second option to return to a previous version.
• Now you are back to the classic version.
• In order to access all web sites properly, don’t forget to Enable JavaScript from the Content tab under Options in Firefox.
• Refer the screenshot below for help.

Earlier Yahoo! used to display a handy “Return to Original Mail” link in help menu. But now it is gone. Because Yahoo recommends everyone to use the new version. I am also a Yahoo! Mail user. My recommendation is that you use the newer version and switch to the classic version temporarily only when you are unable to open your emails on a slow Internet connection.

How to Switch Back using Internet Explorer?

• From Tools Menu in your browser, go to Internet Options
• In Internet Options, select Security tab.
• The Security options for Internet is highlighted. Press the Custom Level button below.
• Various settings will appear. Scroll down to Scripting section and select Disable radio button under Active scripting option.
• Press OK button. A warning messaging will appear. Press Yes for that.
• Again press OK on the Internet Options panel
• Now Open Yahoo mail and login. Just like I wrote above, you’ll be greeted with a message to switch back (as in screenshot).
• After switching don’t forget to re-enable Scripting. Otherwise you’ll miss a lot of the Internet!
