How to switch back to old compose-new-email method in Gmail

How to switch back to old compose-new-email method in Gmail

Do the following to turn off Gmail’s new compose-new-email pop-up window and return back to the old method:
  • Visit http://gmail.com and log into your account.
  • Once logged it, click on the red “COMPOSE” button so the new compose-new-email pop-up window appears.
  • Once the pop-up window appears, click on the down arrow button:

  • Next click on “Switch back to old compose” (UPDATE: Google plans on eventually disabling old compose method completely. Now you can only “Temporarily switch back to old compose” and later you won’t be able to switch back at all):

  • Done! Once you click on “Switch back to old compose”, the page will reload and you will have the old method back again.
