How can we improve AOL Mail?

← AOL Mail Norrin

GO BACK TO CLASSIC EMAIL

I just want classic email back. I've had it since 1995. Can't handle the change, don't mess up what already works.

    I, too, HATE this new version. Would like to return to previous format asap otherwise shall look elsewhere for more user friendly product

  • S ZARNSTORFF commented  ·   ·  Report

    I Need to be able to see the sender's actual email address, not their nickname or text name. Otherwise it is especially easy to click on spoof/spam/scam/malicious email.

  • S ZARNSTORFF commented  ·   ·  Report

    NEW email does not work. Compose Email doesn't allow me to enter newlines. (blank lines). UNACCEPTABLE

  • JIM MADEN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Search feature is especially bad. Trash has to be searched separately - why? And the new search often misses obvious "hits". Do not understand this change at all!

  • Gregg Shotwell commented  ·   ·  Report

    you could stop taking control of my email. I have to get out of AOL. you are infuriating and disrespectful

  • Harry Knipp commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hate your new format. It doesn't fit my laptop screen and is needlessly cumbersome. Please go back to the long term format, it was just fine! This is the same as "New Coke" was years ago: horrible needless change.

  • SHEILA ALEXANDER commented  ·   ·  Report

    i don.t like the format changes especially without my option to NOT change it!

    HOW DO I CHANGE THE NAME THAT THE RECIPIENT SEES IN THE FROM COLUMN?

    In Classic, I could tell it to display my casual name when writing socially and my formal name when writing for business. Now it is set to my casual name and I can't change it.

    I always have to click on the right arrow to make my email message screen bigger. I hate that I always have to do this everytime. Why can't it just default to the big size? I don't need to see the settings window on the right.

  • Joyce George commented  ·   ·  Report

    I delete emails, and then they appear again a short time later. Sometimes when I click on an email to read it, it takes me to a second screen to click again. I want the classic email back, please!!!

    ...and.... where's the search feature... i can't sort for anything in this NEW format... terrible

  • JENNAE EARNHART commented  ·   ·  Report

    Are you people deaf, dumb and bind? This so called New Mail is a step backwards......are any of you reading these comments?

    The Old Layout of AOL MAIL WAS PERFECT. IN A NEAPOLITAN SONG "TAMMURRIATA NERA" it says "IF WE REASON ALL THE FACTS WE EXPLAIN".THEN PLEASE THINK ABOUT THESE WORDS OF MYSELF. TAKE NOTE THAT THE OLD AOL MAIL WAS PERFECT AND RESTORE IT. YOU WILL HAVE THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ALL USERS

  • Kathleen Marion commented  ·   ·  Report

    I used to be able to highlight a word or sentence, hit reply and that word would show up on the reply. Now I have to copy and paste. Pain in the hind end!

  • Kathy Martino commented  ·   ·  Report

    Restore back to the original version. It was much easier to navigate, had an excellent search function to find emails . This one is impossibly awful and basically useless - I have to resort to my I pad if I want to search for something. i pray you don't muck with the ios version. Composing emails is a nightmare.
    I stuck with AOL for its search function, easy to use folders and the ability to write emails is a separate window. Also, when I opened an email it would stay open. I really really hate what AOL has done.
    What were you thinking?????
    Switching to basic version is also useless.

  • DAVID STEWART commented  ·   ·  Report

    So, you do not give a fat rat's ***, about the people that use AOL, or better we go back to the old name AO-****. This new format SUCKS!!!!!!!! You know it SUCKS. So go back to the former.

  • COLLEEN SIEGEL commented  ·   ·  Report

    The new AOL format is awful. Hard to search, hard to read, TOO "helpful" (meaning it interferes with our writing). We have been with AOL since its creation. We are now considering moving to gmail instead of dealing with AOL's pathetic attempts to mimic gmail. Is there any way we can switch back to the old format?
