Over the weekend, my Hotmail / Outlook email pages changed.
Microsoft has automatically changed things around for an exciting, new and improved,
customer enhanced user experience.
Well it's total crap.
Outlook now takes three times longer to load, they have imposed the use of vomit inducing colour themes, of which I cannot cancel back to the boring plain colour that I had before.
I had to set it to Black.
Saving emails that I have read, to a folder in my own folder list, now involves a new pop-up box and an extra confirm box to click on.
Why do I now need to click a box to confirm that I want to move an email to a different folder,
when I have already told it to move an email to a different folder ?
No option to cancel and go back to the original page style how it all was before.
A new, large, blank vertical strip to the right of the screen contains this text. >>>
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.
To maximise the space in your inbox,
sign up for ad-free Outlook.
I turn off ad block to see what happens.
I am blasted with bright, constantly changing, flashing ads.
Ad block goes straight back on.
Sign up for ad-free Outlook, and Microsoft will be charging you a £15 annual fee for an ad free service, and will allow you to get your screen back.
This service was offered three years ago, but it seems that Microsoft is now specifically targeting
those users who use ad block.
Is this going to be Microsoft's new method of working with their other software in the future ?
Software that you have purchased on a annual subscription will be forever cursed with random automatic overnight updates,
page style changes and "improvements" directly imposed on you, whether you want them or not.
With no option to revert back to the style that you were happy with.
Does anyone know of an alternative and free email service that is just plain and simple, like me,
without all these stupid trendy themes and useless improvements ?
How do I transfer my own Hotmail folders list to another email service, and where do they live on this computer ?
