| Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | lhjraffe | 5/15/12 6:56 AM | Everytime I delete an e-mail -- no, it is not a conversation. It is an e-mail. Just because somebody obtained my email address and sent me something does not qualify as a conversation, though to the Google marketing clowns I am sure that they would l |

| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | lhjraffe | 5/15/12 8:49 AM | icantchooseone-- No, that only changes the message, it does not remedy the problem. I don't care if says "Message", "Conversation", "Smoke signals", or whatever, I don't want to some message staring me in the face every time I do an action. It just s |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | icantchooseone | 5/15/12 9:22 AM | aah - ok - well that message will disappear after 30 seconds or when you click anything else you cant turn it off manually |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | lhjraffe | 5/15/12 10:01 AM | I see, so the distracting message will remain on for 30 seconds. What else could I possibly expect? Thanks for your response. |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | shaheerk | 5/16/12 2:55 AM | You could expect nothing as well. Then you won't know what action you took, and why you were reverted to the previous screen. Or you could expect a message longer than 30 seconds. You could also expect an account lockdown. You could expect the next b |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | Deman_Nu | 5/16/12 8:33 AM | The key reason for the message isn't to remind you of what you just did; it is to give you the option to Undo it without having to go to another view to do so. I, for one, will gladly accept a relatively innocent pop-up all the time for the convenien |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | margaret.miz | 8/12/12 2:38 PM | 30 seconds is a really long time, especially since it covers up the toolbar buttons. And it does NOT go away if I click elsewhere in the page. Something I do a lot is attach a label to something before I archive it. If I attach a label, I'm supposed |
| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | margaret.miz | 8/12/12 3:16 PM | I just figured out that the banner is covering the buttons because I installed a Firefox addon to remove the extra tool bar for the search field in Gmail. I disabled it and have now lost half an inch of valuable screen space on my small laptop displa |

| Re: Getting rid of "conversation" deleted box | wsdgeq | 8/16/12 7:45 AM | The pop up stays on for way too long, is unnecessary and there should be an option to disable it. Instead the trash/ bin folder box in the left column could highlight/flash for a second or two upon deletion of a message. That's really all it needs as |
