First, I would like to say that AOL did a good job on the design of the p[revious setup. The only thing I would request strongly as an improvement in that setup would be, to ask that the "flag" or starring of the user's important selections, in the Inbox list, be given four or five (5) contrasting ccolors, in order that the user could grade the items in several levels of priority to himself. Second,therefore, I agree with the statement above. . Horrible, that the window now takes up so much space and delivers less of useful info than the previous setup. The truncation of Subject and From information is counterproductive, when the typefaces are so big that the characters that fit into those columns are too few to impart enough info for the entries to be useful! For another glaring example, there seems to be no way to reduce the typesize in the setup features, like the sidebar, and, very offensively, in the signature block, that leaves the composer of a message with aaa huge, glaring discrepancy between the typesizes. Looks like AOL gave the design work to the wrong people, this time. But, why? Yahoo isn't this bad; why is AOL so badly out of step?
