I don't like the new ATT.net email format.
How do I go back to the old one (Classic)?

I am not sure about anybody else on the forum, but everyone here where I work cannot stand the new email format! We now have sponsored ads at the top of the email, giant ads on the sides, the email frame doesn't expand to fit the whole browser window, the email tabs are no longer prominently visible when enabled, and they moved everything (attachments, send button, font changes, etc) to the bottom of the compose email screen.
The "basic" version is nothing comparable to the old format, just a dumbed down version of this new "full featured" format. I wish AT&T and/or Yahoo would stop changing everything! A lot of people who work here are older and have trouble adjusting to these changes; therefore I have to re-train them and try to get their emails as close to the old format as possible.

Change in something is always difficult but we all overcome and get use to it. Just ask anyone who had the old AOL program and when they updated it and changed everything around people went Crazy.
Although im not a fan of Ads that constantly change or refresh taking up a little more bandwidth than i would like, these adds are necessary to offset the costs of doing business.

Why the empty platitudes? Why not just tell us to shut up and get over it? That's what your little AOL example means.
The interface change sucks, and you know it. We can voice our displeasure by moving on to another way of checking mail (e.g., Thunderbird), and/or changing ISPs.

i was one of those AOL people that could not figure it out for awhile, my point is nothing is the same as it use to be but we adapt, i doubt anything you login to is anything near the same as it was 5 years ago, and im guessing many you didnt like.

We lost so much productive time this AM when the ridiculous new format just appeared. It is not workable on any level and I will change to Thunderbird or something else if it re-appears. Thank heavens the regular e-mail returned this afternoon so we can get some work done here in our offices. What an abomination.

No offense, but in a few minutes "I got it" with the new format. And while it had a new look, I didn't see anything missing, just things in different positions and format.
And of course, YMMV
