Windows Mobile 6 - One Step Forward Two Steps Back in Usability ? May 25, 2007 [General] | By Edward J. R. Surrounded by thick layers of yes-sayers (like some MVPs for example), Microsoft sometimes fails to notice the obvious: I don’t know who was surveyed for that data, but in my opinion, this was not thought out very well at all. Personally, I never delete messages on my phone. I get maybe 1 or 2 spam messages in my personal Inbox per week, and about the same in my work email per day. Not a big deal. My emails have server side filters to handle spam. Making it easier for the user to delete messages by themselves is not helpful, especially when it removes a much more important function. If they wanted to add spam filtering to the Windows Mobile Inbox, that would be helpful. The primary reason this was a bad idea is that it makes creating new messages twice as difficult. This is a HUGE usability mistake. I use my Windows Mobile device to write new messages both as email and SMS very frequently. [...] this new change has only made using the Windows Mobile Messaging application more difficult and frustrating.
