How can we improve AOL Mail?

'Have the app go directly to email, have an option to access news and weather, etc. Change ugly yellow icon.' has been merged into this idea

STOP redirecting to the news page after sending of emails, just let it go back to inbox like a normal email account or make it optional

Please stop or make it optional that after sending an email instead of going straight back to the inbox (the natural thing to happen and what other email providers do) you are taken to a news round up page and have to either click 'x' or "back" to get back to the inbox page. It interrupts my mental flow, is bad for RSI injured people or ppl with other hand disabilities (extra needless clicking), bad for workflow and bad for mental health- I personally do not doom scroll or injest news daily. That is my choice and I am VERY CROSS that you are forcing news on me in this manner, several times a session on aol. I doubt anyone wants to be force fed news, distracted and have their workflow messed up but if you at least made it OPTIONAL behaviour then we can all please ourselves. Please for the love of anything good, decent and intelligent turn this off or make it optional. I will be looking for other options if you don't and have only been with you a few months.

    Add a widget for email only so I don't have to see the news every time I open the app on my phone.

    I am requesting a dedicated setting to disable the 'Today on AOL' redirect that happens after sending an email.
    Many users, including myself, find it very distressing to be unexpectedly confronted with sensationalist or dramatic news headlines while trying to manage daily correspondence. For those who experience anxiety, these unsolicited images and stories can be physically and mentally damaging. Please consider adding a simple 'Return to Inbox' option to respect user choice and mental well-being. Thank you.

    When I click my AOL app icon, it opens on the news. I have looked through my settings and cannot find an area that gives me the option to change that. It's just frustrating, but I'd still like the option all the same.

    I agree. It just started for me. Very distressing. Please make it optional.
