« Introducing "Inline Reg" | Main

Web Mail users may have noticed that clicking the Sign Out link now directs you to the myEarthLink start page. If you're a myEarthLink user, you'll go to your personalized page. If you're not a myEarthLink user, you'll see the signed-out version of the start page.

The idea is to send you to a useful landing page, with weather, news headlines, favorite sites and such, so it's simpler to jump to whatever you want to do next. But if you prefer to go directly to the simple Web Mail sign-in page, it's easy to make the change.

Here's what you do:

  • Log in to WebMail, and click the "Preferences" link in the right-hand column
  • Click "Web Mail Options" under "Other Preferences"
  • Scroll down to "Sign-out Destination" at the bottom of the screen
  • Select "Web Mail sign-in page"
  • Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page

I do not like this change. At least AOL would solicit their customers to use a beta program and receive feedback before forcing changes on their customers. Sighing into and out of web mail is more cumbersome, not less. The engineers must have only looked at one angle in developing this "improvement". And Earthlink has not followed through with their commitment to me in dealing with this change.
