I was mandated (forced) to use the new "faster, better, slicker" webmail platform. Since mine is a free account I'll muddle along for awhille. Observations: 1. Contact list - no longer supports nicknames so I have to remember who was who in my address book. 2. Inbox messages - upon logging in the messages are in table form -- browse mode T gets you there. As I must have Java turned off somewhere I must switch from table mode and move down by the down cursor arrow . To open a message I must turn off browse mode to hear message 1 etc. Hitting the Enter key, then restoring browse mode and typing 3H I land at the subject header. I can read by paragraph or read-to-end. Using the WE Find command I can type "Next" (or Delete, move, spam etc.) tabbing twice to reverse search to the button. Hitting Enter to execute the button, I must then restore browse mode to locate the header of the next message. Thus I spend 5 times the processing of webmail using the new improved version as the previous "classic" version. 3. I used to be able to click on folders such as Drafts, Sent, Spam etc to open them up. Now I must listen to the end of a file name to know to which folder I may go. The web lackeys know nothing of html tab descriptors which would identify to WE what the darned link was pointing to. 4.. When sending a message or responding to one I find it best to use Notepad (with word wrap turned off) to write what I wish to say, then select all and paste it into the webmail message pane. Once done I switch to browse mode and, using the WE Find command look for "Send" using reverse find. Note: The Classic version allowed one to delete the original mail message or save it to a folder. This no longer exists with the new and improved AT&T webmail version. 5. I find it difficult to move from Inbox messages to Spam or Drafts folders. I usually blow off the mail session and start all over again. Big e-mail government ideas or poor programming at hand, in my view. Using WE

The double punctuation in my subject line is intentional; since the exclamation mark is properly a part of the company's name. I believe in some form this double-punc is call an Interrabang. Be that as it may, I'm wondering if any W.E. user has had much luck with the supposedly revamped Yahoo! If you have an email account there, log in, or it may now go away. The site is about as tricky as it has been dhring the current millennium, IMHNO.
