                    Had the same problem.

Try following steps to switch to classic version:

1. Go to ("New Yahoo! Mail Beta") URL http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/dc/landing...

2. Type in your yahoo username and password.

3. Now click on link "No thanks, remind me later". You will be in your yahoo mail box.

4. Now you can login into classic version and access your yahoo mail.

                    I have the same problem of yours, I'm afraid we sticked into this muddy Beta interface. But I hope they will be solved it ASAP.

By the way, the same problem I have faced with Live Hotmail Beta but that time I left the interface loading for about 2 hours, after that it becomes working normally but a little bit slower so that I switched back to the simple interface. i hope with yahoo it will be the same progress.

                    I am experiencing consistant problems with Yahoo mail when pasting into word. More particularly html code into word. This function was running without pasting with control v from ie 6 for a long time. Now word freezes. 

Through research I found many people have the same issue. We can perform a work around with Paste Special, then select rtf format. The problem is that word tries to access the source of the html code as part of the paste function. 

When I perform a past into WordPAD, it performs flawlessly. 

I have reloaded Word, repaired, turn off firewall, checked for patches, turned off smart paste, changed the view. REinstalled again, removed all registry references to word, checked for viruses, spam, malware, etc... All of these actions did not change ie paste to word lockup problem.

My research is pointing to Beta yahoo mail and some coding issues.

Does any one have an insight to the issue?

Thanks,

                    My biggest problem with Yahoo beta is that it *does* consume a lot of CPU which slows down my laptop. Also, the search feature is inferior to the current one (the no beta), since you cannot search in specific fields. Other than that, I think is vastly superior to gmail (in terms of features). 

OTOH, Gmail is simpler, and if simplicity and speed (although this only applies to CPU consumption, not network access) is what you are looking for, then that's the only case where gmail is better

I would like to see Yahoo allowing IMAP access in their Mail Plus offering.

                    We were with Gmail for quite a while and recently switched over to Yahoo to host our domain and our email and let me tell you, it was one of the biggest pains I've gone through.  Gmail doesn't provide an easy way to export (and yahoo doesn't provide an easy way to import) the mail.  

I understand what Gmail's going for - the no folders approach - but after working with folders at work and everywhere else, I have to say, I'm a bit used to it.

Molly - you should be able to switch back to beta under the Options, I think.  Or, I think you can if you go to the beta page as well.

                    I just got a new mail account at sbcglobal.net and It was in the new Beta form. I clicked on the button that said "switch back" and it switched back to the old mail format. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to put it back into Beta format?????????

                    Marshall Kirkpatrick of [TechCrunch](http://www.techcrunch.com/) notes that Yahoo! is [opening up the update](http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/09/14/yahoo-mail-beta-to-open-to-the-public/) to their mail client to the public today.  I need to spend a few minutes with it and see if they've made more updates since my review above was originally created.  Please leave feedback here on your impressions of the client if this is your first time seeing it.  Marshall notes a similar conclusion to me, and emphasizes how big of a deal this update is since Yahoo! Mail is used by millions of people:

>In other words, I think there’s still plenty of reasons to stay with GMail for now, but those for whom Yahoo! Mail is well suited are likely to be quite happy with it. Several of the new features, like RSS, drag and drop organization and calendar/maps could become a new standard in future offerings from other companies. It’s a good product that will change how hundreds of millions of people experience webmail and RSS.

                    There are no tags that I can see.  Yahoo! Mail still has the "Folders" method of email organization, instead of "Labels" (like Gmail) or *tags* .  Tags would make more sense, and allow you to review old emails with *tag clouds* and other modern web application features.

The reading pane is nice, but only makes up around 25% (or less) of the total application space, meaning you get a *tiny* window to read your emails.  Contrast this with Outlook 2003 where you get about 80% of the total screen to read the body of an email, and the new Yahoo! interface will feel underwhelming.

                    I don't know... I love Gmail, but some of those features in Yahoo Mail seem to kick Gmail in the butt. The "Reading Pane" seems awesome, as well as drag-and-drop.

I've wished for some type of "reading pane" in Gmail - since I sometimes take a while to compose a new message, and during that time, I get new emails. So I'd like to see my Inbox, while composing a message. But Gmail allows you to "Save" messages, so that's good enough for now.

Does this new Yahoo Mail offer anything like "tags?" That's a key component of Gmail, and I wouldn't even consider another email program if it didn't have some kind of tagging option. I hate folders, and I hope to never go back to them.

I still don't have the new Yahoo mail in my account.. hopefully I'll get it soon.
