The versions I have are webmail 1.3.2 and Yahoo 1.4.4, downloaded from <http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html>. These are the latest versions on general release, versions with a "b" in the number are, I believe, beta versions. It does look as though the Webmail Author has written the mode setting options out of the latest versions. Not a bad idea, considering that only one of the options previously offered will actually work with the current Yahoo web mail. When you go to the Yahoo mail web page, do you see a link to "Mail Classic" at the top of the page by your user name? If you don't, you are using the Classic version of the site and need to switch to the new version.
