How can I switch back to Yahoo mail classic?

Right now, they won't let anyone use Classic, and are trying to FORCE users to upgrade by making it very difficult to get their email without upgrading (please see end of answer for directions how to access without switching). We have to try to convince them to reinstate Yahoo Classic Mail as an option. Please complain, fight, protest any way you can. There is a petition at http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/yahoomailclassic You can complain directly to Yahoo's Board of Directors at http://yhoo.client.shareholder.com/contactBoard.cfm Let them know this issue pertains to the Board because they should be concerned about maintaining the value of the company for shareholders. You can try to call Customer Support (1-866-562-7219 or 1-800-318-0612 ), but they may just say they have a high volume of calls and disconnect. I'm hoping the high volume is complaints about the new Yahoo Mail! Complain through feedback if you can; they keep disconnecting links so they lead to 404 errors, but they must accept feedback somewhere---here if nowhere else. Complain on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/YahooMail and Tweet at https://twitter.com/yahoomail or the horrible CEO/designer of the NewPooMail, Marissa Mayer, at https://twitter.com/marissamayer. There's also https://twitter.com/YahooMailFAIL there, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hate-the-new-Yahoo-Mail-Fight-for-your-old-EMail-system-BACK/215568581831156 , and currently 112 pages of Yahoo Classic users' complaints about the New Yahoo Mail at http://amplicate.com/hate/yahoo-mail where you can vent your feelings. Be sure to sign the petition and spread the word. The only way we can get Classic back is if we fight for it, but it's worth it!

If anyone has not yet switched because they don't want the new mail, you can still access your email through the mobile site (but on a regular computer) by following the directions in this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iToXGF9XXG0

Me too.. classic is more convenient even though it's appearance is dull. HELP HELP?

No answer but just commiseration. I was finally forced to downgrade from Mail Classic myself this week and I hate the new interface. I hate not being able to Control Click a message into a new tab. I hate that when I click on a message for an internal tab I lose any of the message "ticks" that I've selected. I hate the way that it now automatically checks for new emails, refreshes the screen and loses any of the messages I've selected.

My wife was converted (sounds like Invasion of the Bodysnatchers) a few months ago and I spent a fruitless twenty minutes or so withe an online helper trying to get her changed back. Without success of course.
