Yahoo! mail layout problem on PPC?

Dramacydle · 09-22-04, 11:56 AM

Hi, I just attempted to log into my Yahoo! mail account from my X30 High, but I received an error stating that the current version of Yahoo! mail wasn't optimized for viewing on my internet browser (Pocket IE). It had the option of reverting to the most recent version of Yahoo! mail that would be compatible with my PPC's browser (something along the lines of that), so I clicked that option. This caused my Yahoo! mail layout to look textual and "plain," rather than the more pleasing way it looked before, when I'd log into my mail account.

Now my problem is that when I log in to my Yahoo! mail account from my desktop, it still has the same view as the one on my X30 (some degenerate form of what my GUI once looked like when viewing on my desktop--like, actually nice looking)

. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get the view of my mail looking like it did before. If I knew the change wasn't only going to affect viewing on my PPC, I never would've done it. But yeah, help on this would be great.

I wasn't sure where to post this thread because it's not exactly an issue of the X30 itself, but it was a result of using it. I'm hoping somebody else has had this problem and can tell me how to get things back to the way they were. I hope my problem/question was clear. Thanks.

You need to enter the URL of the Pocket version of Yahoo! . Then you will be able to access your yahoo content, including email, without issue. The link should be in one of the embedded links in PIE.

Thanks for the replies. Now I know how to access my Yahoo! mail from my X30, but does anybody have any ideas about how I can change the layout of my Yahoo! mail back to the way it was before I reverted to the "plain" mode?

The page with all its tabs and buttons used to look a lot better, but after it reverted to a version that was supported by PIE, it just seems to be stuck in the "plain" version, and I have no idea about how to change it back. I thought the view change was independent of my account settings and it was just another view supported by PIE, but now, whenever I log into my account with my desktop, the mail account view is stuck on how it looked like on PIE.

Ok, nevermind. For some reason (I have no idea why), after I logged into my account from my brother's computer, the view suddenly changed back to the way it was. But thanks for the tips everyone, I really appreciate it.
