In December, Yahoo launched a new version of its web-based Yahoo Mail service
alongside a Windows 8 Yahoo Mail app. Today, the company announced that the older versions of Yahoo Mail won't be available to access after the week of June 3rd.
The reveal
came via a blog post on Friday, which added that the change means that Yahoo Mail Classic, which uses the first version of the site's interface that launched way back in 1997, will be shut down. The blog stated that Yahoo Mail users that still access the site with an older web browser on via a dial-up Internet connection will be moved over to a basic/HTML version of the new Yahoo Mail after June 3rd.
