For all the early users of GMail, they will remember that to delete an E-Mail, there was a "Move to trash" link in the "More Actions" drop down list. Thus the process to delete the E-Mail consisted of three ticks:
- First tick on checking the box of the E-Mail that you want to delete
- Second tick on the "More Actions" tab
- Third tick on the "Move to trash" option
For people who got used to it (and those people includes me), it is quite annoying when I have to delete an E-Mail now considering the fact that the option has been removed from the drop down list. Now, instead a TAB for Delete has been added to the left of the "More Actions" tab. Though if I were a new user of GMail, I would have appreciated this considering that it just takes two clicks to delete the E-Mail.
But, unfortunately, I also suffer from the age-old problem of "Old habits die hard". Instead of getting used to deleting E-Mail through a single click, it now takes me three clicks and a feeling of annoyance to delete the E-Mail. Thus the process to delete the E-Mail with the changed User Interface has now become:
- First tick on checking the box of the E-Mail that you want to delete
- Second tick on the "More Actions" tab
- A fraction of a second feeling of annoyance that I once again FORGOT that the Interface has changed
- Third tick on the "Delete" tab
