As of May 31st, you can no longer switch back. Yahoo's removed the link to return to the classic version. If your previous version was the New Mail, then it SEEMS that that's what you're stuck with & you can't get it back.

If you have stalled from "upgrading" (like me) then the trick below will work.

You will have to trick it (easily & permanently) to get back to Classic version.
You'll have to lower the resolution on your PC to the point where it won't support the Beta version.

To do this Right click on a blank space on your desktop & choose "Properties". Select the "Settings" tab. Move the slider that says "Screen resolution" all the way to the left (or Below 1024 by 768 pixels. Click apply then OK. You may have to restart your PC (depending on your settings)

After rebooting or logging into your Y mail account like normal while in this new screen resolution you'll be asked to switch to the new mail. Do so & click OK or upgrade (don't worry). When you're in the new mail you'll brought to a page that tells you the resolution is to low. It will give you a few chooses. Choose the "last one" which will say something like 'go back to the previous version you were using'. Click that & you will be brought your old classic mail. Log out of Y mail. Now you can change your screen resolution like it was before. This should be permanent - not just one-time (or until Y mail fixes/forces this too upon us many months away)
