You have a choice of using a different Web browser or using a “classic” (older version) of Yahoo Mail.

I’ve used the older version of Yahoo Mail this week. To be honest I actually like the older classic version of Yahoo Mail. I’ve been using Yahoo Mail since the nineties so I am familiar with all of the versions. Frankly the old version was simpler and faster.

If you know how to select it, I recommend keeping your Web browser and reverting to the old version of Yahoo Mail. It’ll be smaller and faster yet still allow the same essential features in a simpler form. You have the alternative to use it or get a newer, bigger browser and a fatter email client.

Try a user agent switcher addon

User agent string usually is what sites use to read what browser you are on.

Thanks for the reminder; I’ve done this many times, but I failed to suggest it earlier; appreciate your great suggestion!

Thanks for the replies. Actually, they reminded me that I had faced a similar problem in the past and Rocky had pointed out the solution again: SOLVED: Yahoo mail & browser problems. This worked again.
