New Yahoo? How to change back to classic.

I have had several people complaining that the new Yahoo Mail is terrible, boring and hard to read and separate. Just like the new Microsoft is boring and monochrome. It feels like T2 is not far off. 

This is how you go back to classic.

Does your mail look like this?


You can go back to classic by going to the upper right corner of and clicking on the gear icon.
It looks like this.

Go to Viewing Email then choose the basic setting under Mail Version and save.


Now if you have issues with it not going back to your classic theme and your using internet explorer then make sure you add that site to your compatibility list like I did with this client. See the difference below.


This is what hers would look like until we switched to comaptibility mode.

This is what it looked like after compatibility mode.


Compatibility mode:
With IE open go to tools, compatibility view settings and add the url to the list and close
