I don't like having to agree to delete an e-mail. It's one step that is annoying.

In order to disable the prompt, please follow these steps:
1. Open the AOL Desktop Gold and sign in.
2. Click on the ‘Mail’ menu on the top left.
3. Select ‘Mail Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
4. Uncheck ‘Confirm before deleting items’, and close the window (changes are saved automatically).

Take out the box that pops up asking if I want to delete this. It takes twice as long to delete mail now.

I am tired of hitting :are you sure you want to delete", on every email!!!! a waste of my time. I don't have to do that with yahoo, gmail, or any other service i use that's FREE. I sure am not going to waste my time and money doing it. Take that off or i will drop AOL like a hot potato!!

You've taken away the ability to see how many mails you have before even logging in. We now need need to go through 2 screens to sign in. We've never had the ability to delete a group of mails at one time (as other providers do give their users).. now you've made it that when you delete a mail, you get the box to confirm deletion. It then goes into your deletion folder, and again you have to confirm each deletion. Really???? Do you know how much time this takes?! It might be time to switch to my internet providers mail....since that is included in the price I pay monthly. Very sad...you had a good product, and in your efforts to improve it, you've just made it worse!!

Get rid of the "Are you sure you want to delete?" question. It takes forever to permanently delete files from deleted folder. Get rid of it!!!

where's the never show this again option? I'm certain I want to clean up my inbox, but having to click yes for every email is going to take hours!

Put it back the way it was. It's a pain to have to click "yes" after I delete an unread e-mail.

I have been a member since 1988!!! 30 years with the same email address. Now I have to click twice to delete an email?? Seriously> I delete over 100 emails per day and this is just terrible, and no reason for this. More and more reasons to drop AOL. Stop this add on feature Does not protect me from loss of email.

Why must I double click EVERY singles mail deletion now? This is most time consuming as well as annoying. Please give reason and help eliminating this problem.

You have a new feature that ask every time if your sure you want to eliminate this email. It's annoying and terrible.

Get rid of this ridiculous extra question about deleting. I do not wish to be asked each and every time I delete if I am sure. My deletion is already covered in the Recently Deleted category, should I want to Restore it. Totally annoying and unnecessary.

The pop up delete box is unnecessary. It takes entirely too long to delete 50 to 100 emails by having to delete each one twice.

Agree with Anonymous! I hate this new "delete mail" function. First, it really bothers my eyes to have to go back and forth, back and forth. Please put it back the old way. I don't see what was wrong with the old way,..even if you deleted something you shouldn't have, you can go into recently deleted and get it back.

I totally agree! And in addition I totally dislike your ads flashing on the screen while I'm reading through the 72 news items on the "home" screen. Very distracting. I know you make your money on ads for stuff I search for but, really, continually showing ads changing continually in a flashing manner is ridiculous!!! And I pay you to do that.
