Good Day Margaretcua!

I hope this information gets to you.

Here's a way to change back to classic Yahoo Mail.

Change first the display settings of your desktop. Change it to lower resolution. 800 x 600 is recommended.

1. Click the "Start" button on the bottom left of your computer to display the Start menu. Choose the "Control Panel" option from the right side of the Start menu. The "Control Panel" window will open onto your desktop.

2. Double-click the "Display" icon from the Control Panel to open the "Display Properties" dialog box. You can then select the "Settings" tab from the top of the dialog box.

3. Slide the bar under the "Screen resolution" setting of the "Display Properties" dialog box to decrease the screen resolution. Choose 800 x 600.

4. Click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the "Display Properties" dialog box to apply the settings.

5. Choose the "OK" button. The "Display Properties" dialog box will close and the settings will be saved.

REMEMBER: All icons and display image of your desktop will get bigger.

Next, open your internet browser and log in to your Yahoo mail Account.
The New Yahoo Mail does not support lower resolution of display setting. So it will ask you to switch back to Classic Yahoo Mail.
You will find the two links to switch back to Classic Yahoo Mail on the lower right portion of the page.
Click it.
The next time you open your Yahoo Mail, it's in classic mode.

You can return to your original display setting of desktop once the switching was successful.

Enjoy the old Yahoo Mail.
Please do rate my answer.
Thanks for asking Fixya.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO CLASSIC E-MAIL HOW CAN I GO

From what I've read, you can do this yourself, I was surprised when I read an email from Yahoo indicating this.

Sign into your Yahoo Mail. Click on options on the right hand side, click Switch to Mail Classic.

This should work for you.

How do I change my yahoo E-mail to classic

Under your name at the top of your Yahoo Mail page, there's a Mail Classic link. Click Mail Classic to go back to the Yahoo Mail version you're already comfortable with.

To come back to the New Yahoo Mail, just click "Try the new Yahoo Mail" in the upper right corner of your Yahoo Mail page.

OR...
There is a "Switch Back" link in the upper left hand corner of the screen when you're viewing Yahoo! Mail Beta or the New Yahoo. A switch back link can also be found in your Yahoo! Mail Options. Click on that link and Yahoo will ask you if you're sure you want to switch back. Confirm the switch and Yahoo will process the reversion within seconds. You can also use the following webpage and click on the “No thanks, remind me later” link. That will take you back to the classic email account format:
