Yahoo has revamped Yahoo email for speed and looks.

Published on December 11, 2012 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

MS has given the “Outlook” look to Yahoo’s email, as well as for W8 according to Lifehacker.

Other selling points? Supposedly twice as fast with more advanced spam protection. Nice.

Also, you can change the theme easily and quickly from the "options" box... easy peasy.

There are also new apps for the new email as well... for Apple, W8 and regular W7 tablets.

Doc, I'd have to go back to Classic mode to see that link, and I can't get back to classic mode. I have been using the new yahoo mail for a few years now. Classic is no longer an option. My current version has no such link.

Yes... what happens when you click "Convert"? (don't DARE answer in Yiddish).

Also, what is under Options? If you see "Themes", click on it. Do you see this (Themes lightbox)?

Yes, I see themes....Now the screenshot you show there is what I have, and have had for at least two/three years..

It appears maybe you stumbled upon some "old news"?

Convert isn't there Doc. As I said, I've been using the "new" Yahoo Mail for a few years now.

I do, Doc. Because I made that switch a few years ago. From the classic yahoo, to the new yahoo. I know others that did too. I don't understand how you missed it back then.

Yahoo Mail looking more like Outlook

Summary: Yahoo is beta testing a new version of its free Web-based e-mail, and it's looking more like Microsoft Outlook and adding similar features. Think of it as a richer Web client that performs almost like a desktop client.
