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.

    You have hidden the feedback button AGAIN in a more tedious to find area of the forum. Where the H3LL is the ALPHABETIZE function in the email SORTING feature??? Why was that gotten rid of??? Was very useful in deleting **** mail!!! And FINDING mail!!!
    Doo-doo birds must work there!!!

    Even when I have enabled my spell check in my settings, I still have to remember and go spellcheck at the bottom of my email to correct them. Can't my word document influence my aol writing emails?

    Unfortunately, the new font is what everyone seems to be changing to. Supposedly, "experts" say it is easier to read for everyone. This is not true. It is much harder to read and I hate it. It just seems to be more blurry to me. Please go back to the old font or have the option of being able to change fonts.

    I wish there was an Un-do like a word document. There have been times when a mistake is made and the entire message is wiped out and no way recover. Then I have to start all over and try to remember everything. Un-necessary stress and concern.

    Looking for an answer why my keyboard stops working while typing ONLY on the AOL computer web page and no where else. I am typing and suddenly I hit keys and nothing happens on the screen. not happening ever on any other email or web page.

    How about not having the bubble pop up for notification of deletion,etc. pop up over the tab options and/or make the notification much shorter so that the bubble disappears and you can choose options from the tabs. ANNOYING !

  • MICHAEL STURM commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can this be corrected or should I look for alternatives?

    the print icon will not function- do I have to go back to old email or is this getting fixed?

  • DEBRA DI CAPRIO commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hate the black box surrounding the email I am opening. It's annoying!!!!!! Stop it!

  • ELAINE RAINES commented  ·   ·  Report

    Blocked addresses continue to show up!
    Old mail and New mail are useless. My old mail has current and new mail has old. ????
    Before you start something new, run some testing to see how other things are affected.

    When I select e-mails to be deleted, a box pops up on top saying I have selected X amount of e-mails to delete. In doing so, it blocks my "Delete" button so rather than just clicking "Delete" I have to X out the little pop up before I can actually delete it. Why does that pop up box come up blocking ones next options? That is a very poor design. That should either be removed completely (I don't need to be told how many items I selected to delete) or it should pop up on another portion of the screen and NOT need to be closed out before selecting the delete option.

    I would appreciate attachment preview/viewing be available in AOL Windows application.

    Recently AOL "improved" (or tried to) the mail experience by placing the dialogue pop up (delete confirmation) over the buttons needed to complete the action. Duh. Please revert to the former display.

  • Full Trucker commented  ·   ·  Report

    The status notification messages that appear in the top center of the reading pain when you perform some action e.g. selecting more than one message, moving a message, deleting a message, etc. obscure the action buttons (Move, Delete, etc.) which requires the user to either A. wait until the message disappears on it's own or B. click to dismiss it if the user wants to use one of the action buttons.

    Scenario: I have a bunch of emails in the inbox from a newsletter that I want to select all, mark as read, and then delete. Here are the steps right now:

    1. Click the "select all" checkbox at the top of the reading pane
    2. Observe the status toast message "X messages selected" appear
    3. Either wait or click to dismiss the toast message
    4. Click the "More" button and select "Mark as read"
    5. Observe the status toast message "X messages marked as read" or something similar
    6. Again either wait or click to dismiss the toast message
    7. Click the Delete button
    8. Yet another toast message, covering the action buttons, appears

    This seems like bad UX, as it doubles (or more) the amount of time it takes me to complete my intended goal. I am sure there are additional scenarios to be found where the toast message interrupts the happy path of the user getting the thing done they're trying to get done.

    Some screenshots of the above example here:

    On the web site, we need a way to disable using [Ctrl]-[Enter] keystroke to send an email. This can be inadvertently hit while writing an email, because [Enter] is used for new paragraphs and [Ctrl] is used for copy-paste. At the very least there should be a confirmation prompt before sending. When a half-written email suddenly sends itself, it is a horrible experience. Please prioritize this improvement.

    I bet I said never see this posted in the community because most people using AOL hate AOL because of this
