  1. closing mail

    You used to be able to click the top right X to close an email and leave it in the inbox for later, wherever you happened to be in the email. Now you have to scroll back up to the top to close it. Obviously no one on the design team has ever actually used this email tool.

  3. viewing mail

    Please just put back the scroll bar and get rid of the arrows that you have to push when you want to see more of your mail. Can't tell you how much I dislike the new version you stuck us with.

  4. deleting mail

    You used to be able to delete an email as soon as you were done reading it. Now you have to scroll back up to the top to delete it. Majorly bad idea!

  5. NOUVELLE VERSION

    Cette nouvelle version ne me convient pas du tout, pour plusieurs raisons (lenteur, polices de caractères, aspect, etc, etc) et je souhaite pouvoir revenir à la précédente, la "basique", svp.

  7. I want to go back to my classic email setting, this version isn't working for me. You have not got any formatting in the 'Compose' email tab

    I want to go back to the Classic Format of my inbox. You do not have any formatting choices or anything on this new inbox. I don't like it and I want to use the classic version. Why can't I find anything in settings to set up how to compose an email. Not happy at all.

  8. paragraphs

    Tried the new format. Big Issues:

    1. I cannot separate paragraphs with a double space between them.

      The entire email has sentences without any formatting at all.

    2. Impossible to create a Full Screen version of an email. This fault makes it a headache to compose a longer business email. It also makes it challenging to read a complex incoming email. Not worth the effort if it's not corrected.

    3. I reduced the font for the opening screen for my email lists. A few more emails were then visible, but not enough to save me from endlessly scrolling down to find important emails.…

  9. Why can't I change the size of the font?????? HATE this format!!!!

    Best idea is to go back to my old format. HATE this new format.This is going backwards NOT an improvement!!!!!! If you don't go back, I will be leaving for another email!!!! maybe you don't care - you obviously don't care since after all the complaints you still don't go back to the old format!!! good bye

  11. You broke it

    This "new" version sucks and you seem to have made it permanent. Now it takes 2 steps to do things that used to take 1 click.
    Can't choose a font that I want.
    Why have pages when scrolling worked fine etc. etc. etc........
    It wasn't broken and you turned it into garbage.

  13. Reading Pane back

    Classic Mailbox Please!
    I cannot get the Reading Pane back. I don't want an endless list of messages. I want a short list of Unread and a reading pane to preview message below it. I found instructions that are incorrect since the Link is not there to open and set a reading pane [preview pane].

  16. keep

    After I read an email, I would often click on "Keep as New" for further review. Now I have to go to a dropdown to select it. Please provide "Keep as New" as a first-screen option

  19. QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH THE EMAIL FORMAT!!!! RETURN IT TO THE ORIGINAL AND JUST STOP WITH TRYING TO CHANGE IT!!!!!

    HAVE YOUR "AMAZINGLY TALENTED" IT STAFF TO LEAVE THE FORMAT OF THE EMAIL ALONE.....................JUST STOP TRYING TO CHANGE IT AND RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS FORMAT. MOVE ON TO SOMETHING USEFUL LIKE SOLVING WORLD HUNGER. AND YES, I AM MASSIVELY UNHAPPY THAT AOL CONTINUE TO TRY TO CHANGE THE FORMAT, THINKING IN SOME DELUSIONAL WORLD THAT IT IS BEING IMPROVED. IT IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
