  1. Email Deletion

    Please return the ability to select the emails that I want to delete such as starred or unstarred. At this point, I am using the basic email format, but I can only select "All" emails for deletion. I also can not see how to move emails into folders. In the new format I can not even find how to delete emails. This is very unfavorable change.

  4. Accidentally deleting a draft

    Sometimes when I'm typing a new mail, it would get deleted while I'm still typing. I don't know what I had typed that caused it to be deleted. Please do away with this new feature. Let me delete the draft the old way, by selecting it myself and then trashing it myself.

  5. Pop Up Screen

  6. Problems with new search by sender and then delete all.

    Delete not working properly (at least on Windows 10 with Edge)

    Have to keep refreshing to enable options ...like select the items found.... or going back to inbox after deleting ...usually have to delete line by line, although that is hit or miss since the icons are not displayed in the line.

    Top bar keeps being overwritten

  7. Trash Can icon moves

    I am clicking through old emails with my mouse hovering over the trash can but each time I click it and a new email opens, the trash can moves a little one way or the other so if I keep clicking, sometimes it's the folder and sometimes it's the mark as spam button. Why?? Why isn't it glued in one spot?

  9. "undo" message blocks the icons below it

    When deleting messages, the box that pops up and says "Message deleted - Undo" obscures the icons below it. This may vary based on users' displays and setup, but it still needs to be put it in a different posistion on the page

    when there are no visible messages in trash folder to delete but your count shows that there are over 100,000, you should delete them on your servers in order to keep the storage count from being excessive.

  11. Sent email delete

    Hi, I'm focused on deleting messages in my sent folder. Could we have the same sorting options in sent that we have in the IN box? Also, I have a problem with the auto return from the old emails I'm deleting to the most recent emails. Would it be possible to make that an option instead of automatic?

  12. Using Words "TODAY" AND "YESTERDAY" for the Date

    I recently got off the telephone with tech support to address the issue that follows. After researching it, they said there is nothing that can be done about it and suggested I send it in via a feedback form. I absolutely cannot understand why the numeric dating was taken out of incoming and outgoing emails. Using the words "TODAY" and "YESTERDAY" totally blows efficient process time out of the water. When emails are printed, I then have to manually cross off the word and handwrite the date that it was sent or received. This is so archaic and I cannot…

  15. deleting emails

    when clicking on numerous emails to delete, if one of your clicks is just a hair off line, the whole group that was previously clicked to delete need to be clicked to delete all over again. make the target point for deleting emails a bit bigger than the border of the square - it allows us senior citizens the ability to keep our sanity....

  17. The email 'delete' option keeps shifting around.

    The screen setup: Currently in 'preview the current email' mode, where symbols for actions like 'reply', 'forward', and 'delete' appear above the preview area.

    The problem: People who are quickly previewing and deleting emails, one after another, are annoyed by a 'delete' symbol that keeps moving about during the preview&delete process. STOP SHIFTING IT AROUND!

  18. How to UN-BLOCK senders

    Hi,
    I blocked many unwanted senders. By accident I blocked some friends who I would like to un-block. I went to SETTINGS next SECURITY & PRIVECY, I found the email addresses I wanted to unblock and I clicked the TRASH icon. I thought I unblock them. Unfortunately they remind BLOCKED. Please HELP. How do I confirm this UN-BLOCK function?
