    After I login to AOL Desktop gold the AOL system is hanging and unresponsive for about 30 seconds before it becomes responsive again. Also when I click on read e-mail the AOL desktop system becomes unresponsive again and hangs for about 30 seconds before email displays. It does not appear the e-mail has been refreshed. ALso when I open an email to view the contents and then close the email, the email inbox listing screen contents is wiped and not refreshed automatically after it is overlayed with another window.

  2. Recognize your own email addresses

    I recently received an email from another AOL subscriber [diggeology@aol.com]. When I tried to respond to it, I received a "MAILER-DAEMON@aol.com" notice that "552: 1 Requested mail action aborted, mailbox not found"

    In case you're wondering [or even care] why people are leaving AOL in droves, here you go.

  4. Dear Editor & Ladies and Gentlemen: Please revert to DARK FONTS for better READING

    Every, yes, indeed, EVERY AOL Desktop PAGE shows solely utter grayed font lettering everywhere!-- Those faintly displays of important information are indeed very difficult to be read by vision-impaired individuals everywhere. Please change your future information displayed solely in DARK printing. Many thanks in advance for your time.

  7. Email automatically going to "old email" while reading it

    When I open up an email and while I'm reading it the email is automatically sent to "old email". There are times when I want to keep that email as "unread". I don't like that it automatically goes to "old email" and then I have to go and find that email in "old email" and then mark it as "unread". I want to decide where it should go. It used to be that after you read an email and logged out of email, it was then that the emails would go to "unread". Please bring that back. If I have…

  9. See below major security and privacy issue with new VIEW folder in my Mail icon

    Security Alert! Your last AOL update gave me a new folder in my MAIL. It's VIEW in bright blue. It has five subfolders, all empty except for one, PHOTOS In it are every download I had over many years, 99% I long ago deleted for privacy and security reasons. Now they are again available with one click. Your AOL chat tech tried but couldn't find a way to delete the VIEW folder, PHOTOS subfolder, or any of its contents. Mine now contains thousands of unwanted items. Enlarging one photo and clicking on it from the dropdown menu give me the…

  15. Get rid of the "new" Gold Desktop it's worthless. I want to decide to decide what happens to mail in the in box not have to go to old mail

    Put Gold Desktop back to the way it was. I want to decide what to do with the email I'm reading in "new" mail and not have to go to "old" mail to either delete it or put it in another folder. Get rid of the "views" addition who needs it "not me". Also don't make me have to go to a folder with sub-folders 2x's. Now I have to do an extra step because after I go to the sub-folder and can't deposit the mail I've once again have to go to the same extra repeat you added of…

  18. "VIEW" MAIL FOLDER ADDED TO MY FOLDERS

    It is an abominable overreach for AOL to unilaterally decide to install a VIEW folder in the mail folder section without giving subscribers (1) the option to install the VIEW folder or (2) the option to disable the VIEW folder. Also the we are unable to UNSCRIBE from any entries in the the VIEW folder's subscription section. Furthermore, many of the emails are mislabeled or miscategorized and therefore, placed in the incorrect VIEW subsection. I want this VIEW folder removed!
