Do questions like this indicate Yahoo subterfuge that puts advertiser's money over user concerns? - ceaseless becoming - 11-11-2013 02:12 AM
Does the answer to questions like this http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130128133231AA9p6Wk show how the "Yahoo! Mail Product Team" really doesn't care about customer suggestions for consideration in future mail design releases? Any moron can see that putting an ad underneath the left column, which users could alter before but now cannot, has made it impossible to easily read and write messages in the inbox without coming into conflict with their ad?
This means that the "Yahoo! Mail Product Team" could care less about user concerns and more about money they get from advertisers that they aggressively put in your face. It's like the NSA's covert Facebook and Twitter icons on every website page popping out from every direction, so they have a profile of everyone on the planet when the crap hits the fan.
This new Yahoo mail design is AT&T's greed that aggressively makes their products user-unfriendly.

I think you know the answer to your question(s). I had the same complaints you have with the new design. I only use my e-mail as e-mail from a PC, not a phone. I get massive amounts of junk and a few e-mails that are of interest, so pages are useful to me. The only way left to get anything like the old Classic style is to switch to Basic, which does not offer full functionality. That doesn't bother me, but it might others. To get to Basic I disabled Java in Firefox--it didn't work in Explorer. I am very happy. Hope that helps.
