The old look of msn.com will disappear eventually. Unfortunately, having Microsoft maintain all versions of every web site forever and allowing you to choose which version you want to use is simply not an option. I realize that means nothing if you’re one of the people that don’t like it. In fact, if Microsoft has done their usability research properly – as they likely have – the number of people who like the new MSN will far outnumber the people that don’t. I’m sure that as many people will love the new msn.com look and feel as will hate it. Perhaps most of your circle of friends and contacts, but almost certainly not everyone. I disagree with your comment: “everyone” doesn’t hate it. What’s important to some is unimportant to others. The design of a website is also a matter of taste.

The fact is that many sites must update their look and feel periodically to move to more current design standards, to look “fresh”, to learn from usability issues encountered in previous versions, and ultimately to remain competitive.Ĭhange is absolutely inevitable. Simple, really: the internet almost demands change. Important: if the “Exit the preview” item is not present, then it’s very likely that the preview period is over, and the new interface has become the interface for MSN.com. Click on the gear icon in the upper right of the MSN home page, and you’ll get a drop-down menu:Ĭlick on Exit the preview and you should end up back with the old MSN interface as it was before this most recent change. While this new look is in “preview” mode, you can go back to the old interface. As I’ll discuss in a moment, it’s extremely unlikely that changes like this can be avoided. However, I don’t want you to get your hopes up. So you do have a way to get your comments on the change back to Microsoft. Click on that, and you’ll get a “Send Feedback” form that you can fill out: Note that there is a Feedback button in the lower right. Click on Preview it today and you’ll get a little promotional pop-up telling you how wonderful the new MSN will be:Ĭlick Start Now, and you’ll switch to the new MSN look-and-feel. Notice the preview announcement banner at the top. If you visit MSN you’ll see the site’s home page looks something like this: As of October the preview appears to be over and the change appears to be permanent. The answer might very well be “not many”.Īs I write this today, September of 2014, the changes are in “Preview” mode. I’ll also make some guesses as to why the changes were made, and what your options might be. As I update this article for the latest round of changes, I’ll show you what’s happening. In case the two problems are related, I have been experiencing problems logging in and have another message thread posted on another Board in the VMCommunity. I need to recover these emails and stop this from happening. I have not inadvertently deleted these emails and this only seems to happen if I rename or move a folder (drag and drop). The Prague folder still shows on my desktop client but does not even appear in webmail.

I use a Windows 10 desktop email client (EMclient) and have also checked on webmail. I've done a search on All Mail and none of the lost emails show up in the search. I have checked today and the entire folder which should contain around 30 emails, is empty. In that folder were all historic emails relating to all 3 trips including the latest booking information and - most importantly - a refund voucher I have yet to use. That trip was also cancelled due to covid and I've just rebooked it and renamed the folder "Prague 2022". That trip was cancelled due to covid and rebooked for 2021, the folder was renamed "Prague 2021". All emails relating to that trip were stored in this folder. I've been using folders to organise my mail since the beginning of time and this has only just started happening in the past few months.Īs an example - I was due to go on a trip to Prague in December 2020 and set up a folder called "2020 Prague". I have a recurring problem of emails vanishing from folders when I rename that folder.
