Gmail is more directly linked to NSA. That's why I have an account but only use it for spam in.

What makes you think the other major email providers are not? They all cooperate as they're basically required to do so.

If you put the tinfoil hat on, and line the keyboard with tinfoil, the NSA can't see what you're typing. :)

I want the NSA to know what I am doing so nearly all of my accounts are Gmail! What exactly do you think the NSA wants from you? If you are concerned then maybe they should be as well.
If they want to see the latest pictures I uploaded of our cats on Facebook, they are welcome to it. Maybe they will nominate me for a photography Pulitzer!

Or maybe they'll need a scapegoat at some point? :) Ya never know. You could be lookin' pretty good for that job. :)

I'm OK with that. I have absolutely nothing to hide. Bring it on and let's see who looks really, really stupid when it's done.
The NSA is going to look as stupid as the undercover cop from NY (NJ?) that helped instigate the biker riot!
I talk******most anywhere and everywhere. However, none of what I say (or even think) would reach the level that any agency anywhere would consider anything other than completely boring! I like girls. I like RV's. I like playing poker. I like posting to stupid topics like this one. I like making stupid statements like the one just prior to this one.
What 'ya gonna do? Lock me up? Follow me? Check my perfectly good credit? See if I have any radical affiliations? Go for it folks, I am so clean I even bore myself!

Found some a solution:

click the GEAR (top right) and select "Settings".
Select "Viewing Emails". There, first turn OFF the "conversations" and click SAVE.
See if that helps. For many, it does.

If not, return there, scroll to the bottom and click BASIC and SAVE.

thanks! This was pissing me off all day today.

The last time I payed for Yahoo mail, about a year ago, it was around $12 for the year, but I now just checked and yes, they are charging $49.99. As far as security, Google says that they scan your email to help them direct adds to you and you should not be surprised that they do this.

Anyone noticing a change back tot he new format with no option of going back to the old per the instructions I posted?

Home computer worked fine this AM, office computer has yahoo converting to new format.

I also notice now that the (not sure of the proper term) but the photo .jpg "expand-to-view-it" does not work anymore. You know, when someone sends an image you just click on it, it expands and then after viewing you can either close it or download it.

Now to see the image you MUST download it.

Not a fan of the new format.

I have tried doing the POP deal in the past, but my MS office (home version)does not have Outlook (I would need to get a new updated version to have Outlook)... I bet yahoo is purposely doing this to frustrate the free users to force them to pay $50 so that they can use the POP to get a usable e-mail. It is all about the money

Yahoo has switched me back to the new format several times now. As of a few minutes ago, though, I was still able to get into settings and switch myself back to basic view.

When Yahoo first changed from Classic to the new version, I couldn't keep their !@#$% Messenger turned off but that setting did eventually stick so hopefully this one will, too.

This new version is awful!!

New e-mails cannot populate a saved contact by typing the first few letters. One must manually go to the contact list, pick the contact and click "insert." it is so dam cumbersome now. There is quite the outcry on the web about this new version.

Quite frankly it SUCKS!

Automatic population of saved contacts works for me except for ONE of about a hundred.
