Chat and text feature in my classic view

I just rececived a response the the following:
somehow the chat and text feature of Yahoo mail is now on my yahoo mail page and i want it off. do not want to see it anymore. how do i remove it?

The response was to change back to classic view. My other question would be:

What if I am already in classic view? this feature i believe was added to my classic view. What would i do now?

    This is not the view i am currently useing.  I am in mail classic and the new chat and text feature there.  If i look at my Yahoo mail logo it has classic.  No other "new" feature is there.  

  • akmommy31 Mar 25, 2009

    when you choose the 'whats new' button it says latest attractions, which shows the chat and text; that it can be in mail classic.

  • akmommy31 Mar 25, 2009

    yes, the chat features are between the folders and the 'my folders'. 

  • akmommy31 Mar 26, 2009

    Just curious if you found a way to get the chat feature off of the classic view of mail.


    Thanks

    new question for the chat feature in classic mode.  I noticed that you have to add contacts, then you can chat with them. - How can you delete a contact after it has been added?

  • j_kocher May 01, 2009

    Yes - the chat module shows up in Yahoo Mail Classic

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    I switched to "Classic View" and could not find any evidence of the chat and text features. Here's a screenshot of the normal java-based Yahoo Mail interface. Is this what you're currently using? If you look to the right of the Yahoo logo, you'll see a link that says "Mail Classic". Are you able to click that?

I see the What's New section advertising that feature. It says to look above your personal folders in Mail Classic and you'll see the chat module. I think they must've made a typo, because I only get the chat module above my personal folders in "New" Yahoo Mail (see screenshot). Do you actually have the chat features above your personal folders in Mail Classic?

Yahoo IM opens when I open my mail

Hi,

This is a new feature that has been embedded into the new yahoo mail, so you could chat while on the mail box interface. It does offer flexibility for folks that would love to chat while on their yahoo box. Just some new innovations from the yahoo team. If you don't want this then click on arrow around the left hand side of your screen, it has "Chat" and "I am" under it. lick on the arrow and sign out, that would keep you signed off while you open your mail.

Regards
