Tony opened the door at the end of his article by saying that some users want to keep personal and business email separate. I’m a college instructor and I am definitely one of them. I recently added my work email to my android phone and was distressed to find the unified inbox. The previous time I did that, it was separate apps. So I removed it. Besides, having to change the email password in the phone frequently is a pain and if you let it go too long, the account gets locked for too many unsuccessful attempts. So, no, at this stage in my life, I do not want a unified inbox. But later I might, e.g. if I had more than one personal email account. So I would prefer the option to set it up either way.

I too have been plagued with upgrade notices for IE 10 and my McAfee software tells me it can’t apply some updates. I am still running IE8 and IE9. My main objection to the later versions is the awful download dialog box. They replaced the “real” dialog box with that awful yellow contraption at the bottom of the window which overlays the status bar and prevents me from responding to outstanding requests and therefore locks up my computer. I have searched and searched for a way to use a “classic” version but apparently there isn’t any. To make matters worse, the school where I teach is adopting some teaching aids that depend on HTML5 which requires IE10 or else go to Chrome. Isn’t one browser enough? Needless to say, I’m upset.
