Thnks all 4 your swift response. I tried d two links bt still giving d new unwanted interface.

Pls try more

Pls help. I need 2 send some docs across 2 some pple fast.

Pls help o.

I really don't understand ur query. The attachment button is there like the picture below. Maybe it's ur phone though. I don't think u can do anything about the ui since it is Google that changed it. Why not use a gmail app? If u don't have that then better get a better phone, or use a computer to send ur mail.

Another thing to note is maybe u are being directed to an older version of gmail which doesn't support attachment. One of the main reasons u are directed to the older version is if u have a slow internet connection. Try connecting to another network, then clear ur cache and relaunch ur browser.

My Oga, u really went extra miles. Dis is one of things dat made NL sweet. Thnks 4 your great response.

Tho' I hv an android phone bt I actually prefer doing my heavy mailings/attachment work on my symbian phone simply cos of low data consumption.

Dis funny UI just started suddenly a few back back. It's so annoying now dat every click is prompting u to log in again & again.

So what did u think could be wrong?

Thnks once again.

Confirmed u are using an older version of gmail without the attachment button. If my guess is right u are using opera mini browser which compresses data, hence its taking u to the lighter older version as the new version is more polished and requires more data.

Try another browser, or copy and paste this into ur browser.

you have to activate basic HTML version of Gmail in your mobile version. This version of Gmail offers you to send attachment. Just follow the link - https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html&zy=h and don't forget to bookmark the page.

And remember, if you use Opera Mini, then activate Single Column View. To activate Single Column View, go to Menu >> Settings >> Single Column View >> On in Opera Mini.

After accessing basic HTML version of Gmail, you will be able to upload and attachment via Gmail from mobile browsers. After tapping or clicking on Compose Mail, you'll find the uploader. Use it and send attachments.

No more mail classic, it has been replaced with "Basic" which is similar to classic. Now, to be permanently on yahoo basic....lets roll!

1. Visit Yahoo Mail and sign into your Yahoo! account.

2. Find the sprocket icon on the top right side of the page, next to your name. Click it to show the menu and then click on "Settings".

3. Scroll to advanced settings and set the "Switch now" button to "basic" and click save.

4. The page will refresh and the "basic" theme will be loaded.

I use an LG g3 android phone. The editing was made on the phone using the built in quick memo+. Just click quick memo+, it will automatically capture the screen and right there u can do the editing, draw and write whatever u want on the page. Its been long I used a synbian phone so I don't know if there's an app that can do that.
