fix the drop down menu on the search bar. It will not disappear and won't go into the background. It is a nuisance.
These "suggestions" or whatever they are are a nuisance. Please remove that feature.

missing email that shows up 7 hours after it's sent and shown to supposedly in mailbox
what the "harry"...You say I have mail, it's shows on the icon 1 but yet it doesn't show under new mail. sign off, sign on but still no mail...7 hours LATER it shows UP so I can read a message send 7 hours ago! For this I pay a fee ever month! Half the time I don't get "You've got mail" except at first sign on then crickets, even for new mail once the mail is read! Honestly AOL GETS WORSE ever time there is a new update! This keeps up after 20 some years it's bye bye AOL and…

Still the same problems after update
Still getting Not Responding after your update this past week. Still having lag time in opening emails and when they're loading. When deleted list of SPAM and deleted emails appear for permanent deletion, shaded lines appear before everything is loaded/appears. there is also lag time and not instant like it use to be. Ads still appear in my main email...why am i paying for GOLD??? You said to report a bug and I did but I'm sure other people are still having these problems as well. TEST BEFORE RELEASE!!!

I can not change the privacy controls on the dashboard
I can not change the privacy controls on the dashboard no matter if I change browsers, turn off the VPN, etc. It says "OH NO Were were unable to process your request. START OVER.
Crazy, I've tried it through the desktop and mail.aol.com as well. Nothing works. I called into the helpline and spent forever talking with them about it. This was their best suggestion to submit feedback. PLEASE FIX!

aol desktop gold, contacts, address book
When I delete a contact, it goes back to the top of the list. This is not ideal when deleting multiple contacts since I need to scroll down every time I want to delete a new contact.
I worked with AOL tech support and they said that this feature is not available. I think it will be better to have an option in the future to select multiple contacts that we want to delete (same as we do on emails).17th ranked -

Get rid of fraudulent advertisers on your home screen. Because of an enticing ad viewed on AOL's sign in screen, I ordered on 12/2 2025 a few items worth about $75 charged to my credit card that same day. Despite my many efforts to contact them, the goods never arrived. Turns out the site, VERXEN, is a complete scam according to this website: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/verxen-com-scam-store/ - "Here is the evidence indicating this is a fraudulent website:

Why can't I use my finger print to sign in on AOL?
I use my fingerprint to sign in on Microsoft, my computer, and Google on this computer. This makes AOL outdated and almost useless in the fight against spammers and information thieves.
I have started using Google for my important mail. People send me mail to AOL, and I never receive it.
It's time for AOL to step into the Biometric era. Passwords are archaic.James E

How do you transfer browser saved passwords to a new PC? Export does not do it.
Transferring Browser passwords to new computer. Need to find a way to copy/transfer AOL Browser passwords (saved in settings-browser-passwords) to a new PC. Used a Laplink PCmover program (with ethernet cable) to transfer most of my Win 10 PC to a new Win 11 PC. Program seemed to work OK, The only thing I noticed at 1st was that ALL my saved passwords for all my Favorites site were not in the Settings-Browser-Password area. (and I must have 50-75 or more saved and still on my old PC) How do I get them transferred?
UNDER older export processes it use…17th ranked -
