When someone sends a link to my yahoo mail account it comes in as plain black text, (not blue) & is a dead link that won't open. When the same email is pop3 forwarded to OUTLOOK.COM the link works fine. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hello slobote,

 

Maybe this info will help:

Simple Solutions:

**PERMANENT SOLUTION** (ONLY if you have NOT "upgraded" Yet)

To get back to the Classic version you'll have to lower the resolution on your PC to the point where it won't support the "upgraded" version.
To do this Right click on a blank space on your desktop & choose "Properties". Select the "Settings" tab. Move the slider that says "Screen resolution" all the way to the left (or Below 1024 by 768 pixels) Click OK. You may have to restart your PC (depending on your settings)
Note: I'm running XP & Some have said it didn't work in Windows 7 for them. Some it does

In Windows 7:
Go to Control panel >
Display >
Adjust resolution on the left side of the screen & change it Below 1024 by 768 >
Then follow the rest of my info

After rebooting or logging into your Y mail account like normal - while in this new low screen resolution, you'll be asked to upgrade. Do so & click OK or upgrade (don't worry). When you're in the new mail you'll brought to a page that tells you the resolution is to low. It'll give you a few choices. Choose the "last one" which will say something like 'go back to the previous version you were using'. Click that & you'll be brought to your old classic mail. Now you can change your screen resolution like it was before. This should be permanent - not just a one time fix



**TEMP SOLUTIONS** (If you HAVE already "Upgraded" to the new Yahoo mail)

You can use these two links though it's only a temp fix & you'll have to use them every time to access the Classic version. Put them in your bookmarks or favorites for easy access. (All the links do the same thing)

If the links don't work & open up Y Original Classic Mail then copy/paste the address in a new window or tab & press enter.
