Return to the date format.I dislike it so much I am thinking about stopping my AOL plan. This is not helpful at all.

The download from AOL created changes to the emails coming into my box. Instead of the date, the time it arrives appears and NO DATE. When I hold those emails in my box, the next day the time disappears and YESTERDAY appears on all of those emails and the day after that the same thing...I am ending up with a longgggg list of yesterdays...this is totally unsatisfactory for business and social demands that is necessary to work efficiently..I want this changed back to the dates...I am extremely unhappy with this mess..

Yes, please return to the old date format - Current format is is not useful at all

. Need Do not like this new formate for date. Yesterday does not help when doing a fast email search.

THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING EVER.....................CHANGE IT QUICKLY OR YOU WILL LOSE A LOT OF SUBSCRIBERS! FIRE WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE!!!

What were you thinking???? I hate this, I need to know the DATE, not the time it was received!

It makes no sense, it is stupid and whoever thought of it should be fired! change it back to the way it was or I will NOT have aol anymore!!!!!!

Put the date in the same format as above. and advise the aol user before you change anything on the format of the date received before changing it. This is not a good change who wants to know the time it came in - and who wants to know it was yesterday -- Stupid.

Please put the date back to the old format (Month/Date/Year

Please put back the old date format (Month/Date/Year)

Yes! Definitely return to the old date format of month/day/year. We do not like the new format at all. It is horrible..... Thanks!

In all my 25 years with AOL I have never heard a more ridiculous proposal than the new existing arrangement. Moreover I cannot believe that a responsible manager let it go by. It makes absolutely no sense unless, perhaps, to save AOL money at the expense of even worse service!!!
What kind of logic has a scramble of Yesterday, Month, Time, Hour and Day. Does anybody there have enough common sense to know how often we key to the full date to retrieve an email?

As one of the users that added my voice to the request to add the Time to the Date field, I was pleased to see that aspect implemented. However, I was not pleased to see the Date changes. I understand the reasoning of changing the date format though:

Assumed aspects are left off: the date for today's date and the year for the current year.
Other aspects are removed as time passes: time after the current day and the day of the week beyond the current week.

Moreover, the format does not even match the Web version of AOL Mail. For instance "Yesterday" is not used in Web Mail and the day of the week is shown after the day in the Desktop version and before the date in the Web version.

In both versions, having at five different formats makes for too many mental switch-ups. The title of this book on Web usability "Don't Make Me Think" says it all.

I recommend that you use a consistent format such as what you see when you open an e-mail: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM (really don't need the seconds in the folder view though). This is the default Microsoft Outlook format (less the seconds), which many users may see at work. By the way, AOL Web Mail also differs here, that format is ddd mmm d, yyyy hh:mm am/pm. Lets be consistent in opened e-mails in the two systems too.

So in conclusion:
Be consistent with Desktop and Web Mail, both in folder view and in opened e-mails.
use the Outlook format: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM. (If you are a user that does not want to see the time, shrink the field so it does not display,)

Thanks.

Do not like new date format. please give us back the old date format on our emails.

Please set the date on my e-mail instead of time. Thank you.

i am not happy at all with the mail change bring back the oil way please

please bring back the old way that e-mail comes in with the date when you open the mail not the time really don't care about the time

This new format is not in the best interest of AOL or it's subscriber's. I pay monthly for your service and strongly urge you return to the month/day/year format. Unfortunately, if this issue is not corrected in a reasonable amount of time it will be necessary to seek another e-mail provider.

I just called your company and got a nice lady that told me she had not been informed as to why someone in the company CHANGED the information in the DATE column to the Time it was sent! What was your reasoning ? on the message, it tells when it was sent. So why 2 times and not visual date. Especially when you go looking for something dated last week? Please reply to this bad experience. Why were the users of aol not consulted or even told it was going to happen today?

Bring back the old date format. Who's brilliant idea was this? They should be fired.
