I checked my mail this morning as usual, sent one direct to spam from one 'Bryony Holt' as both sender and subject.

My page has now altered and I cannot get rid of this, which appears more than half-way up the page, so I see only 5 msgs at a time:
'Choose your favourite way to communicate', below which are 2 labelled ikons for Email [envelope] and Instant Message [speech bubble].

Further, the boxes alongside each mail have disappeared, only showing if if have mouse on a msg, Next,the option bar is now in greyscale, but for a dropdown Actions, which are: slim, regular[this is ticked], relaxed, enable preview panel[also ticked], then [greyscale italics] select a message for further action.

How do I put it back as it was - classic and basic, please?
BT Help Pages do not! - just self-puffery and pushery for 'services' I do not want. Also, the Contact Us/Help page gives this error message.

No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.


I do not involve myself in social networks, do not want messenger, but cannot seem to excise constant talk of it.

Primus are my broadband provider, but I retain my BT landline.

All help will appreciated - thankyou.

    I think BT-Yahoo have "improved" it for you. ;)

    What happens if you choose the email (since you don't use Instant Messenger) icon in response to that question?

    If you hover your mouse between the two panes you'll see you can change the size so you can make the bottom one much smaller. I haven't found how to get rid of it yet.

    It also doesn't seem to do anything (other than annoy).

    Thankyou both.

    Yes Jivesinger, I detest them fiddling about with my page which I set up as I want it.
    al - there weren't any panes, BUT maybe this will help you too, for I have just now fixed it:-) Spent several hours yesterday faffing about trying various repair/restores. then checked the 'relaxed' box and it's back to normal, but for absence of tickboxes. One appears beside a msg when mouse is there, otherwise not. I don't like this but can live with it. I don't like absence of outlined searchbox on mse, top right corner either!
