Has anyone changed to the new version of Yahoo email? Is it ok? Have all folders been kept? Thanks.

Ok Jackdaw, here we go. Don't forget I am still using the old yahoo layout for "She who must be obeyed". It may be a little different on the new layout. If it is the same perhaps You or C@C can confirm that it is so.
Account Info. click \/ (little arrow pointing down)
Chose options from drop down menu and click "Go".
Over on the right hand side of the page under "Advanced Options" you should now see Blocked Addresses. Click on.
Now you will see a heading saying "Enter addresses that you don't want to receive emails from." and a box to enter the email address that you want to block.
Enter the full email address in the narrow box and click the plus+ sign. The address should now appear in the larger box that will list your blocked emails.
You can then go back to your email inboxes by clicking "Inbox"

The problem is that you have to remember the email that you want to block or write it down. Some of the addresses are composed of all sorts of symbols and spaces that look like hieroglyphics so what I do is open yahoo in 2 tabs. On one I go through the call up the email block facility and on the other I open the mail(do not open any links in the mail) and copy and paste the address over to the tab with the block facility opened. YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THE CLOSING BRACKETS THAT ARE WITH THE ADDRESS AND JUST PASTE AND + THE ACTUAL ADDRESS.

Correction to last line. Because I didn't leave a space between the brackets, AB got rid of the "bracketed" content. :))

Well I am disgusted with Yahoo's sly tricks. Back on the old "classic"email, I find I am unable to open my address book, or move any emails to a folder. Bad form Yahoo. Reminds me of when I wouldn't change to online for Natwest, and they started sending my statements in the titchy tinyest font ever!
