Yahoo Mail..If y9u have Yahoo Mail, are you being asked to upgrade it?
I was asked once if I wanted Standard Yahoo Mail and now I have an email asking me to upgrade it. Has anyone else received this message with an attachment. I haven[t opened it yet as I am wondering if it is authentic.
The Yahoo square with the Y looks right and they have used my first name which is Val. but I am still not sure whether to open it
The Standard email timed out so I don't have that email, so perhaps answers can you please tell me whether you are talking about the Standard Version or the latest email which has the attachment. Thanks in advance.

I think you're referring to when you sign in right? they leave messages like that up above sometimes when you first sign in or after you sign in.
I ignore those! after I sign in I click on my little red envelope up on my tool bar.
I use the "Basic" yahoo email, I do not like their NEW improved email page.
So don't upgrade unless you THINK you need it. because sometimes they just screw thing up.
The only time I upgrade anything is if I have to upgrade Java or Adobe (they sent you a message at the bottom of the screen)

That is a phishing scam. Ignore and delete it.

There is a new version going around in the world. It is Yahoo's newest mail inbox. As time passes everyone, as I and many others have, will receive a message as you sign in asking you if you want to try the new version. Once you confirm, you will not be able to get the previous one.
At first, I was disappointed with the new version; but in a few days I learned how to use it and it is not bad at all.
There are small glitches that I overcame them: The "More Settings" could not be seen, but enlarging the page by clicking the small square at the top right, it will appear. Another glitch is that I couldn't keep the font size on large when I compose. It kept going to small after I send an email. So I placed it on X-large and this made it remain always on Large even though it is set on X-Large.
Not many are aware of this new version; and this is why they respond "No upgrades available" or "What upgrade?"

I have it but haven't received anything about upgrading. In fact it's been years ago when they were changing it. I would wait to see if they send anymore notices or contact customer support

I upgraded mine last week. The only noticeable changes are color scheme and all the attachments u were sent or received are combined into one folder. Nothing fancy
