How can we improve AOL Mail?

'BRING BACK SORT BY SUBJECT' has been merged into this idea

Please allow sorting by sender. Without this, the email is not usable to me, since I have to delete junk emails and do it by sender.

Please allow sorting by sender as in the old system. Without this, the email is not usable to me, since I have to delete junk emails daily and always sort by sender to do so.

Hi there. The option to sort by sender can be enabled by turning off the conversations. To do this, please go to Settings>More Settings>Viewing email>Group by conversation>turn it off. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at help.aol.com   

Thank you,  

AOL Mail team

    STOP CHANGING THE SORTING OPTIONS FOR EMAL. I USE BOTH SORT BY SENDER AND SORT BY SUBJECT.

    I need the ability to sort by subject because it is difficult to find what I'm looking for when searching otherwise.

    would save much time searching for an outgoing email

    In the Sent Folder - should be able to sort by senders email address, Just like in the inbox when you sort on the sender address

    many of my emails from freegle or freecycle go to spam which means i do not see items of interest until too late, i am checking spam mail 4 or 5 times a day to see emails, there used to be a setting that allowed you to add allowed senders such as these, but since this disappeared my mail goes to spam.
    also a block setting to stop genuine spam would be helpful, as a female i dont want emails about male erection difficulties and making ones ***** grow as i dont have one in the first place

    I love the new email especially as I discover more and more keyboard shortcuts.

    Search by sender works great but I would love to see a group by sender option which would just give the number of emails per sender and a delete option! Would allow me to clean up by inbox so much faster.

    Thanks for your ongoing efforts.

    You have made my already challenging work monumentally more difficult. I will change providers if this is not restored and SOON.

    This has always been a pet peeve of mine as well. Who doesn't allow you to sort by sender???? I absolutely agree, we need to be able to sort by sender. Actually, it is quite frustrating for me. Therefore, it would this request is CRITICAL to me.

    You can click on "Sort" in the new version. 'Sender' is there for you to change to in a drop down screen.
