I have to compose in MS Word, since Yahoo (like many websites) has a nasty habit of “kicking me out†of the site while I am typing, loosing all my work. I hate to think if I had just spent 45 minutes (as I have done many times) editing an email Draft after copying it from MS Word. For me email used to mean one word - “Yahooâ€. I had Prodigy in 2001, but I do not even remember what it was like. After a dozen years with Yahoo, it’s email just became unusable, for all practical purposes. Clicked the “X†and “Save†but they did not Save – Gone.
#How to change email default in yahoo free
I have had the free Yahoo—have had Yahoo since 2001.

I am 59 – never owned an iphone –too expensive. REGARDING PROBLEM WITH SAVING DRAFT EMAILS:ĪFTER I posted this on another site, I WENT TO YAHOO AT AROUND 6:15AM – ALL THE TEST DRAFTS I created at 1:38 AM WERE THERE IN THE DRAFT FOLDER—BUT IN THE REAL WORLD—I CANNOT WAIT 4 HOURS FOR THE DRAFT I SAVED TO SHOW UP TO SEND IT! FIRE MARISSA MAYER NOW! I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF “SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH†TO GET THE TABS. I can’t imagine why yahoo would even think of removing TABS. you can also check on Contacts without having to save the email as “draft… or you can review another email while deciding what to write on this email you’re composing… Tabs just seems so practical and efficient: keep multiple tabs open – start composing an email to multiple people… while one is attaching pictures you can start composing another email to someone else…. Perhaps if most continue to use the “basic version” with tabs – no matter how painful this process may be… Yahoo! might figure it’s time to bring back the good part of yahoo. Once you sign out and sign back in, sometimes you have to do this exercise all over again. Once the gear icon (settings) appeared on the top right corner everything is refreshed and the most recent email is in. The first few tries of switching back to the old version only showed email messages up to October 8… today is the 11th. This may solve the problem that I read others are having about new mail is not coming in. That’s how you know you’re good as OLD (version). * “calendar” tab appears next to Inbox and Contacts * the message “switch to the newest Yahoo! mail” disappears on the top right corner of the “basic” version * settings (gear icon) appears on the top right of your screen of the basic version It definitely took me more than 10 times of switching back and forth. It works! Switch back between Basic and New version of yahoo mail several times (see instructions on article above). The article above does give the solution… see “BUT” below. Below the font settings, you find an option to switch to the basic version of mail. Go back to the same settings menu that you were in previously. classic wide fontĪs far as folders go that are only displayed when you click on the folders link in the left menu, that too can be changed. As I said previously, you can play around with the available settings until you find one that you can work with. How it looks like after you have made those changes? Lets take a look at the screenshot below to find out. Click on Save afterwards, and the inbox will be reloaded with the new settings.Change that to Classic and Small for example, or Classic Wide and Medium,or experiment with the other font types and sizes that are available here. Note that this will have the consequence that you see less emails at once on the screen. You can change that to regular or relaxed to increase the room for each list item on the page.

Here you find two preferences that are responsible for the display of emails on Yahoo! Mail.

This should open an overlay window that displays the preferences.
