Firefox version 3.6.18 and Yahoo mail classic . All buttons within the browser to check mail/inbox do nothing (shows blue bra loading at top of window but status bar indicates done). Most will if I right click and select open in new tab/window.

I started by disabling AdBlock Plus and reloading the Yahoo Mail Classic page, which then worked. Next, I tried "reporting an issue" via AdBlock Plus and it took me thru this incredibly cool, but simple, series of steps to debug the problem. Quickly, it was found to be one goofy rule I added which caused the problem. As soon as I disabled my AdBlock Plus rule, BAM! All the buttons started working again, while restoring the other, good AdBlock Plus rules for Yahoo Mail Classic.

I Can not link my Yahoo mail to dropbox . Yahoo have removed the upside down v (next to the Attachment icon) that gave the option to Share from Dropbox . Does Dropbox now not support Yahoo mail or am I doing something wrong.

Although Walter's right that this is really a question for Yahoo!, not Dropbox, how frustrating that they won't acknowledge that this is obviously a problem tons of people are experiencing. I found a workaround, however. If you click on Settings in the Yahoo! Mail interface and then "Switch to classic Mail" (at the bottom), the old UI still has the drop-down arrow next to the paperclip attachment button that allows you to select "Share files from cloud providers", and then Dropbox.

Not a good permanent solution, since Yahoo! shows a warning that the classic interface will be going away at some point, but for now it works. I wonder if they've intentionally removed the cloud attachments feature from the new UI, or if it's just not appearing currently (at least for U.S. users??) due to a bug.

Do you notice the same behavior? If you do, could you provide a screenshot of the problem so I can get a better understanding of the matter at hand and provide you with the most appropriate information?

Could you please try to unlink your Dropbox account from your Yahoo mail and re-link it as per the instructions from the page below and let me know if you're still not getting an option to attach your Dropbox files through your Yahoo mail directly?

Can you please look at the Youtube video link I posted on my last reply and please look at the replies from the general public about the Youtube video saying the upside down v linking Dropbox to Yahoo mail is no longer there.

Sorry to hear this persists for you Gary - may I reach out to your Dropbox associated email address so we can have a better look into this with all of my tools available as I might need to bring this to an expert's attention?

Sorry to hear you feel this way - I wish I could help more than this but, as mentioned, I'd need to have access to all of my tools to look into this and to do that we'd need to go through the email route - in this way I'll be able to send your request to the appropriate department (if needed after all.)

I understand that this is not optimal for you but I haven't seen any similar reports lately from our users in regards to connecting their Yahoo! Mail accounts with Dropbox or attaching files directly from their emails.

And that just solidifies that this is something that Yahoo has to resolve. Obviously they have removed the feature from the new interface (or simply haven't included it yet) as there's no way to select files from ANY cloud service. The service, as originally designed, still works without a problem, so not a Dropbox issue.

Yahoo made some big changes to its email interface last week, and it might throw you off a bit. Not only are there more customization options to the look and feel of your inbox, but several of the Mail Plus features are now available to everyone for free. One of the more notable of which is 1 TB of free storage.

Hit the Save button, and your Yahoo mail will switch back to the interface you know and are comfortable with. While there are more features in the new full-featured version, you may not want or need them.

This works for me: in the new mail format in the upper right corner there are four or five small icons in a row. One of them is a blue rectangle with three tiny rectangles on the right. Click that and you will go back to the good format. It stays that way until the next time you log in. Then just click on that rectangle again.

Kelly, you can always try StartMail, by going to startmail.com. It will set you back $49.95 (US dollars) a year, but it is ad-free, and is far more private than Yahoo! mail or Hotmail. The home base for StartMail is in the Netherlands, and they have far better privacy laws than the United States.

I have been using Yahoo email for over 10 years. I like the classic with not paid advertising. The new was way to hard to use and made it almost impossible for me to conduct business , I want to Thank you for showing me how to get back to Classic as I was about to move everything away from yahoo which I did not want to do. I like yahoo and I like the news feed that yahoo does but if they mess with my mail again I will likely dump them.
I can read the newer version, it is impossible to read when you have eye problems.

I was about to open an account with gmail; it was not just the new layout that was upsetting, it just did not function correctly. It did not display attachments, nor any of the check boxes nor any of the action keys i.e. delete, forward, reply, previous next etc.

The new layout is a disaster and has significantly impeded my professional work! Hopefully, the system can be refined to a much more user-friendly version as it is consistently frustrating to use in the current set-up.

What a pity that responsible persons at Yahoo seem to be blind and deaf for their customers needs and even yells of pain, turning a really good thing into an ugly, inefficient, unergonomical and buggy piece of crap.

I want to go back to classic mail or at least be able to find my mail. I was changed when I had to sign in to my e-mail account. Now it shows that my inbox is empty and I can not find were my mail has gone. Please help me get back to my classic mail

THE WORST THING WITH THIS CHANGE IS THE FACT, THAT USERS HAD NOT TIME TO DECIDE. IT WAS IMPOSED TO ALL OF US. I THINK THE CHANGE SUCKS. PLEASE GIVE US THE CHANCE TO GO BACK TO OLD VERSION. IF NOT I WILL LEAVE YAHOO AND MOVE TO GMAIL.

I am disabled and not very computer literate. Please put my old yahoo back immediately. I have a serious heart condition and this is causing me extreme stress. I switched it to the new by mistake. Please help!!!

The solution I found for this problem was that I did not find the setting gear on the far right corner on yahoo mail while using google chrome browser. However, I found the gear when I log on to Yahoo mail using Microsoft Edge browser. I have not tested this using internet explorer either.

If you have Microsoft edge browser, log on the yahoo mail using the Microsoft edge browser. You can not find the setting and the gear on the right corner of the Yahoo mail. Click on the setting gear, and you will see the basic icon. Click on it and switch from the new yahoo mail to the old basic and classic yahoo mail.

Thank you so much.I have been trying since last one year to move from new version to old but I did not get an option and I called to yahoo customer care but the did not reply.So today I have tried as per you have given screen short and I could switch to old version.

I think that Yahoo! IS hell bent on destroying itself, Dave. I got rid of my Yahoo! Mail account after I read of the hacking scam a year or so ago. I have a StartMail account, and it is worth the money. No ads, no data mining, no spying, etc. As the StartMail company is based in the Netherlands, they have a far better privacy policy, than here in the U.S. Last year, it cost me $59.99, but this time around, it was $47.99. I finally came around to the realization that I truly get what I pay for, and am willing to pay to be left alone.
