    This is the stupidist move they will ever make!

    Looks uglier,limited to certain browsers,etc......

    Using the mobile site MIGHT BE THE ONLY WAY once they try and force this!

    I got that email too.. "Thank you for being a Yahoo! Mail user for the past 12 year(s). We look forward to bringing you an even faster, safer, easier-to-use Yahoo! Mail very soon."

    Prefer the old interface myself.

    wow, I'm surprised no pretentious wanker has asked why people are still using Yahoo and not Gmail.

    I like the new interface.

    Hi,

    Had this new version activated today and really do not like the layout (it does seem to be faster though)!

    Any idea how to revert back to the previous?

    Thanks!

    It is fast isn't it?

    I've kind of gotten used to it - most anoying thing is the size of the masthead at the top of the page taking up to much space.
