Most netbooks have 1024 x 600 pixel display. While there are certainly a
few exceptions, most Windows apps can run reasonably well at that
resolution and most web pages are viewable with a minimal amount of
scrolling. But for some reason, Yahoo Mail isn't one of them. For the
past few years, every time I've tried to check my Yahoo Mail account
using a netbook, I've been greeted with a message suggesting I use the
"classic" interface instead of the newer, more streamlined version.
Unfortunately, like the previous version of Yahoo Mail, the new Beta
suggests a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 - which means most
netbooks are left out. Rather than acknowledge the fact that this is a
common resolution and maybe Yahoo's coders should tweak the site to work
within it, Yahoo Mail Beta instead pops up an error message when you
try to visit with a netbook browser, suggesting you adjust your screen
resolution in your computer's display settings - even though many
netbooks don't really offer the option.
Also it can be a Yahoo Mail version.
To switch from the All-New Yahoo! Mail to Yahoo! Mail Classic, in
the upper-right portion of the All-New Yahoo! Mail screen, from the
Options menu, select
Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic.
A dialog box might appear asking for feedback. If it does, you can
follow any links or check any boxes in the dialog box. To continue
returning to Yahoo! Mail Classic, click
Switch to Yahoo! Mail Classic.
