Me too. I was surprised when I got on line. The color is now a bright purple. I can't find how to change it back. I hadn't heard they were going to do any changes.

Since we already made contact, you know my email hasnt changed, but I figured I better answer this anyway so that it doesn't sit up there at the top, with everybody wondering what happened. LOL I think GW is having some fix-em-up problems with its servers. Thanks for asking. Kate

Which Email Program for Windows 7
Q
Comments (10)
According to a betanews.com article, Opera browser (which will be switching to the Chrome-like engine for future browser releases) is discontinuing its built-in email client as part of that browser. A beta release of the new Opera Mail stand-alone email client is available for download (the first link provided in the article below). As I say, it's a beta release, but according to the first paragraph of the article, it's "based on the integrated Opera email client found in the current version of Opera 12.15 FINAL." I don't know how a 'beta' release of a stand-alone client relates to the fact that it's from a very stable version of the client in the Opera browser, but so far my experience of the stand-alone client is positive. Anyway.... Warning: Opera's client uses the labeling system (before Gmail had it) and does not use folders as such. It may take some getting used to for those coming from OE, but I thought I'd at least mention this new-comer to the list of offline email clients. It may be one to keep an eye on. :-) Here is a link that might be useful: BetaNews Article on Opera Mail Beta

Why change browsers or email programs?
Q

Some avoid IE on the notion that malware is most often aimed at Windows and it's suite of applications. There's good reason they target those. The close interaction among Microsoft products give them multiple ways to get in. But of course, many people use them and never have a malware problem, because they (1) don't indiscriminately download or open every piece of junk someone forwards to them, (2) they don't open everything a web site invites them to open, (3) they keep a good antivirus/malware program up to date, and (4) they religiously install all MS security patches and service packs. Some take some pleasure in not using EI as sort of a defiant act against MS. There's some perverse bragging also going on. They don't use the browser of the ignorant masses, they use , preferably something the listener hasn't heard of. Kind of like sneering at AOL users. Email clients are mostly just personal preferences, and it's often just whatever they happened to start with. Some are a bit better for one or another persons particular email habits. Note that, since you're using XP, if it was bought many years ago and you're using IE version 6, it is no longer secure, and you should long ago have upgraded. You should also be sure you're now running XP Service Pack 3. Go to: http://support.microsoft.com/ If you have not kept up with security upgrades and service packs, block out some considerable time to download and install everything you need.

Can you trust Yahoo & Hotmail email accounts or Facebook?

Interesting. Thanks for posting this. I double checked my settings and adjusted what I could in hotmail. Though I couldn't find the "permissions" link. I don't get why people would actually fill out all that info (phone numbers etc.) What's the point? I really wish they wouldn't do stuff like that. It's enough to make me want to delete my account. I still might.

Yes, it surprised me. They might have at least warned us. I'll stick with yahoo because it is too much trouble to change. So far, I don't mind the changes. I don't see any way to change the color, which I don't like.

I just looked and mine hasn't changed. I didn't change a while back when we had the option. Just stayed with the old.

Since purple was mentioned, I did notice that the word YAHOO is purple. May have always been though and I had never really looked at it before.

Dedtired, click on Themes and choose the colour and what parts are coloured, that you want.

Thanks, Jasdip. I find the dark blue to be easier on my eyes, so I just switched to that. Much better.

"What?" I thought - they changed it! But now that I've used the new purple email a few times I find I like it. The page seems much "cleaner".

Yep, mine changed too, I hate it, but like it was mentioned, I'll probably get used to it before long...

Yes, mine changed (both of them) and I just adjusted the theme (not too many to choose from, though) to what I was using before and it's not a big deal to me. It's free, so I don't want to complain, it's theirs to do with what they will.

What are the new changes? Is it worth switching over from classic? I'm afraid if I do I'll lose my old classic version

I miss the sign-out button. Have to go under your username to sign out.

I am used to it now though, just took a few days. I don't like sudden changes, I want gradual warnings! LOL
