  1. You cant, once you choose the yahoo Beta you are screwed for life.


  2. Just as you would have clicked GO TO YAHOO BETA in your regular mail there would be a tab GO BACK TO ORIGINAL YAHOO

  3. You simply click on the link in your mail page. At the top left of youir Inbox page, next to the Yahoo logo, you will see your email address, and underneath it, the following options:

    Sign Out, My Account, Switch Back

    Hit the Switch Back link. Sorted.

    Hope this helps.

  4. At the bottom of your Yahoo Page it will say Switch to origional MY YAHOO! click on that and its supposed to take you back.

  5. I want to know too, it said I could if I didn't like it.  But I can't.

    I hate it! It's the worst experiment yahoo has done yet.

    I may have to abandon yahoo and use my mac mail pgm.

    Yahoo even told me I should change browsers. Like people with Macintosh's are going to abandon safari just to make it convenient for yahoo.  How stupid are your programmers?

  6. and the question was.....????

  7. you go to google.com

  8. At the top left of your screen, directly under your Welcome <username> sign next to the Yahoo! Mail logo, there are three small blue links: “Log out” “Your Account” “Switch Back”. Click “Switch Back”.

    -or-

    Log out or close the Beta Mail, reopen Beta Mail.

    IMMEDIATELY when you see the “bouncing ball guy” (or whatever he is doing this week!), click the RED X (STOP) at the top of your screen. This prevents the log on from going any further.

    Directly under the "bouncing guy" is a link that says “Trouble Logging In?”. Click it. The last option is :

    Switch back to original Yahoo! Mail by opting out of Yahoo! Mail Beta

    Select that to switch back to regular mail.

    This is a tricky solution, though. You have to be REAL QUICK on clicking that RED X or the log on process will continue to the error point and may not let you click the "Trouble" link. It took me three tries to get it, myself (but then, I'm old and slow -- lol!).

  9. When you have your Yahoo Beta page open, look up to the top left hand corner right next to the Yahoo! Mail Beta sign. Then it will say your screename well right under that  there are options to choose. The last one says Switch Back. And Presto!
