  1. Ads

    I see you've made the ads side bar larger with no way to make it smaller, only to reduce the size of my email space. This is unconscionable.? Soon it will just be big ads and a little space to read our emails. Plus we can't eliminate these ads. Any ideas how to keep this decades long time client?

  2. Multiple Large Ads to the Right of Every E-Mail

    AOL has suddenly forced not one, not two, but MULTIPLE ads to the right of each e-mail panel—and you made them considerably larger as well—to the point that all e-mails are now of a minuscule size.

    As I've said before, you can never have too many ads—and as large as you can possibly make them—right, AOL?

    Why don't you just come right out and say it? You want to get rid of all your long-time loyal customers and become exclusively a huge ad platform. Trouble is, you won't have anyone left to whom to advertise.

    Ever think of that, AOL?

  3. Latest update

    your latest software update is a step backwards. Does not honor my email preference to list oldest mail first, and takes forever to delete items from spam folder. how do I get rid of the latest update?

  5. What am I paying a monthly fee for when I get over 100 spam mails a day with no way to block them?

    Posting for this same subject has been going on since at least 2019. Even if we could block them (AOL makes certain we cannot) it would show AOL cared about customers. I pay a monthly fee so am a customer. If you right click to block AOL tells you to wait five minutes. That is a joke, try it. If you click spam to send it there then you have about 200 a day to delete or keep and add another 100 or so every day. Time to get qualified technical support or give the ones you have permission to…

  9. CompuServe Gold sounds

    It would be great to have the CompuServe welcome/gotmail/goodbye sounds on the CompuServe Gold client instead of the AOL sounds.

    I have the sound files from a CompuServe 2000 install if you need them.
