If you are wrestling with the "new" Yahoo! mail interface on BTYahoo!
email, then you can force it to go back to Classic mail and a far
simpler layout.

I personally only ever visit the BTY webmail interface to check settings
or alter Pop/forwarding arrangements - all my mail is forwarded by
default to a third party domain address so my BTY mailboxes are always
empty - and I always use an email client anyway, not webmail.

Here's how to keep the whole BTYahoo! thing the way you want it (until
they migrate you to BT Mail with Openwave/Critical Path...)

1. Disable scripting -for example - Firefox with NoScript, (and Adbock
Plus to keep the screen really neat and tidy) = lots of empty white
space and menus - lovely!

2. Login using
https://signin1.bt.com/login/emailloginform
with your full email address and email password.

You will get a warning page telling you the page "needs" javascript.
Ignore the warning and click the link to "continue without javascript".

3. You will then get the Classic interface with familiar menus and a
minimum of unwanted junk. The dropdown box for configuring your account
is on the top right hand side just to the right of your "display" name.

Good luck
