Yahoo Email - Old version, Nicknames from address book do not work?
Why do nicknames stop working in my old Yahoo email regardless of any computer I use? I must now type in the email address or go to the address book and select a name. Typing in a nickname in the address book is not recognized. Perhaps this has something to do with Yahoo's new Email Beta.

yes- that is probably what happened-- especially if you switched from one to another. they are still working out all these bugs. try putting in the nicknames into your phone book again & see if it will work.
What's going on is that Yahoo's "at it again". They updated and reformatted the mail pages on BOTH Classic AND the All New Mail. Awful isn't it? As for finding the info on your contacts: >Click on the contact's name (not in the box). >In the right side screen, click on Edit. >A tiny box appears at the bottom where you can scroll to the info you want. One helpful hint----At the top of your mail page, mouse over your "HI Name" and in the drop menu, click on Contacts. That particular link loads the contact list faster AND LARGER, making it easier to see and use. We would all like to reverse the changes---but that's not gonna happen (according to Yahoo).
