Getting your classic Yahoo mail back

Anyone who has the "upgrade" version of Yahoo email and has found it total rubbish, here is a way to change it back. The upgrade version is full of difficulties the old did not have, you can't backspace or else you just have to put your password back in, and you can't delete drafts without getting a crazy message "one of the drafts you are trying to delete is open. Please close it " - and what the hell do open and closed mean? There is no explanation of that from Yahoo.

Go here: help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/context/migrationv2.html

When the page opens---scroll down about midway until you see this---"What if I don't want to upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail"?----If you do not want to upgrade, please "click here" to use Yahoo! Mail Classic.
("click here" is a blue link). Return to Classic is immediate and permanent.

This came from here answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgLeOawNBx_FJd7AqN2xgXcD.Bd.;_ylv=3?qid=20120113110800AAOha2E fantastic how many folks will be grateful for this answer. As written there, the New "Improved'' (sic) Mail is very buggy, unstable & a total pain in the butt. There are literally thousands & thousands of users complaining they can't use their mail like they used to.

  1. I just had an email saying Classic Mail would be removed from June 2nd 2013 :(

    "On April 19, Yahoo! made a notice that starting in June, Mail Classic and other old versions of Yahoo! Mail will be shut down. All users of Mail Classic are expected to switch to the new Yahoo! Mail, use IMAP, or switch to another email service."
