Earlier today I received an email from Yahoo! Mail informing me that I should upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail. A few years ago when they moved to something that looks like Outlook Express I decided to stick with Yahoo! Mail Classic, so that’s what I’ve been using up until now. I just checked out the latest version, and it’s got an excellent UI (user interface). It’s almost like a cross between the classic version and the outlook-lookalike version.
I really can’t believe I’ve had the same Yahoo! Mail account for 12 years now…now that’s commitment! Here’s what it looks like:
Dear Sabrina Sabino,
We appreciate that you have been with Yahoo! Mail for the past 12 years. We are looking forward to bringing you an even faster, safer, easier-to-use Yahoo! Mail very soon.
If you’ve already upgraded to the latest Yahoo! Mail, thank you.
If not, in about a month from the date of this email, when you sign in to your Yahoo! Mail account, we will ask you to upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail. But you don’t have to wait. You can have the newest Yahoo! Mail today.
You can upgrade now to the newest Yahoo! Mail if your browser is Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, Safari 4, or Chrome 5, or newer.
[UPGRADE NOW]
If you do not have one of these browsers, update your browser (it’s fast and free) and then return to this email and click the Upgrade Now button.
If you only access Yahoo! Mail on your mobile device, tablet or via POP, it is critical that you visit overview.mail.yahoo.com on your computer to see important information about the upgrade, then review and agree to the new Communication Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
What You Can Look Forward To When You Upgrade
Faster email
The latest Yahoo! Mail spam-protection technology
Easier-to-use design
Unlimited email storage so that you can keep everything you want
When you upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail, everything in your account (messages, folders, contacts, etc.) will be there.

Your Alternatives
If you’re not ready to upgrade now, we recommend that you upgrade soon.
You may access your current version of Yahoo! Mail, but we strongly encourage you to either upgrade to the newest version of Yahoo! Mail or review Yahoo! Mail Help for other options.
Thank You for Being A Loyal Yahoo! Mail User
We hope you enjoy the newest version of Yahoo! Mail.
