I don't like the new ATT.net email format.
How do I go back to the old one (Classic)?

This new format is just awful. Please bring back the old format! In the new format some commands are above the e-mail, some below. SEND is below. How stupid! There are five utterly useless icons taking up a 1/2 inch row of screen space above the page and it is impossible to get rid of them to clear space. Fewer e-mails are listed even with "Slim" density. I pay to have no ads so worsening ad clutter is not a problem. This new format is total crap. This new format is not working out at all.

Then to add insult to injury, I went to my contact list, which now, too, is formatted as a list, and when I deleted one alias for a certain person, it deleted all addresses associated with that name!

Sent by Private Message yesterday morning to the ATTU-verseCare Community Specialist team:
1) The composition window is too small. What size monitor did your developers do the design and test with? I have a 17-inch in front of me, it's too small.
2) My typing within the composition box jumps around. Why I do not know except the effect is extremely disruptive to my train of thought.
3) Moving the cursor within my typing is slow and erratic. No idea why but I always must wait before I resume typing to ensure the cursor is where I want it to be.
4) Copy/cut & paste is erratic. See the previous problem with moving the cursor. In addition, I'm never sure what text I'm about to copy/cut & paste. Sometimes it's the previous selection (my copy was ignored), sometimes it's the entire email to the end, sometimes it deletes the text rather than copying.
5) Moving emails to folders is slow. Seeing the emails in a folder is slow... and that includes the Inbox and Sent folders.
6) There is no manual save draft option, a real concern considering how often email freezes up.
6) I send emails using disposible addresses, especially if it's to the site for which I created a disposible email address. I do not want to see "Me" as sender every email, I want to see the actual email the recipient will see.

Here is my vote for the email format sucks. Only 200+ votes for sucks. Then there are those who don't know enough to bother to post their thoughts.

I hate the new format. Suggestion to everyone if you have it- If you have Outlook or Microsoft Mail on your desktop or laptop, have you e-mail go there and it will completely bypass this. I wonder what the marketing "gurus" were thinking. Looks like they didn't test their market too well judging by the negative comments. At least give up the options to use the old classic format (I can't stand that one either, but it's betterr than this new one)

I love th is comparison. It has been 30 years now since the NEW COKE fiasco. For those of you who weren't alive then, or too young to remember, google it. It is one of the WORST Marketing product changes ever. Remember PESPI CLEAR anyone?

No offense, but very similar comments were made the last time email was updated a few years ago.
While nothing is perfect, and there are winkles in most anything new, there are workarounds for some of the issues which have already been mentioned in various places. Firefox and AdBlock take care or most all of the unwanted ads and unwanted stuff in your inbox for example. The "me" "me" thing has been answered dozens of times here and elsewhere to cite another example.
While you may not like the new, it is likely here to stay, just like the last time email changed. It will change again.

I don't like the new format either. I especially don't like the sponsored ad that appears at the top of my inbox. There isn't even a box to check so I can delete it. Bad move, att. Bad move. Shame on you
