Can you switch back to old yahoo mail

The nostalgia!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued its classic email interface, also known as "Old Yahoo Mail" or "Yahoo Mail Classic," and has replaced it with a new, modern interface.

In 2013, Yahoo announced that it would be retiring the classic email interface and transitioning all users to the new interface. The company cited the need to improve the user experience, increase security, and reduce the complexity of its email service.

While you can't switch back to the old Yahoo Mail interface, you can still access your old emails and contacts by using the "Classic View" feature in the new Yahoo Mail interface. Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account using the new interface.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "General" section and click on "Classic View."
  5. Toggle the switch to "On" to enable Classic View.

Keep in mind that Classic View is not the same as the old Yahoo Mail interface. It's a simplified view that displays your emails and contacts in a more traditional format, but it still lacks some of the features and functionality of the old interface.

If you're looking for a similar email client to the old Yahoo Mail, you might consider alternatives like ProtonMail, Tutanota, or GMX Mail, which offer a more traditional email experience with features like a simple interface, strong encryption, and customizable settings.
