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

    make it so you can copy and delete multiple emails in the list rather than one by one and having to confirm .... I get hundreds of emails a day and this is just too time consuming

    Please change it back to one click to delete my emails. You continually change little things to annoy us that make no sense.

    Get rid of the 'are you sure' each time to delete an email, very annoying. Can we delete in bulk?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Let me delete the line item without asking if I want to delete it.

    I agree. Having to click on "Yes" for each deleted email is a pain in the neck. It is time consuming too. Why does AOL always force this stuff upon us but they think nothing of taking away things that we enjoy such as "Mail Art" They told me it would be back soon. That was a year ago.

    Forever, I only had to click one time to delete my email....THANKS TO AOL, now I have to click TWICE!!!!!!! "WHY'????

    asking if you want to delete a e mail is a waste i wouldnt delete if i didnt want to

    When did deleting email become a 2 step process? I want to hit the delete on the inbox screen only once.

  • Bauer commented  ·   ·  Report

    OMG - AOL is trying to go down in flames. Now you have to click twice to delete your new mail. With over 100 emails a day, that just doubles the email time. I don't have time for that. It must be designed for old people who don't get many emails. Of course, that is AOLs base. This will send me to gmail if they can't fix it or give 2 different options.

    Why cant we delete messages without a pop up coming up and asking again, when I hit delete I want it deleted, period, not another pop up

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I find AOL is becoming less and less competitive with other services for convenience and the charge less.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be nice to be able to high highlite a block of email and delete with one key stroke.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Another idiotic thing you added to AOL Gold. Having to answer if I really want to delete something every time I delete something. GET RID of this STUPID idea.
