Get rid of ALL Advertising on the Email pages - reading - writing - and downloading!
Get rid of ALL Advertising on the Email sidebars - when reading - writing - and downloading information! It is not only annoying; it is harmful - medically to anyone with seizures, epilepsy, or Migraines! First, it was the Target ads; now, it is the Progressive/Geico insurance ads and Money-making scams that not only pop up Once - they Continue to pop up repeatedly over and over again - EVEN when you have said the ad is not of interest; inappropriate; or seen too many times!
I have opted out. I have complained to the FCC. I have a medical…

Store emails on our PC rather than on AOl Desktop Gold.
AOL tech support reinstalled AOL desktop gold on my computer. All of the emails that I had saved under the folder "save on my PC" from August 2017 to present were not there. I have contacted tech multiple time since discovering this issue. Many were not able to understand the problem. The last person understood the problem and told me that the email files were not saved on my PC but rather on AOL Desktop Gold. He believed that the files were still there someplace but that the tech support personnel in his office had no way of knowing were…

Improve Account Verification
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION
Improve your account verification process! I recently bought a new computer, installed AOL Desktop Gold and then you folks wouldn't allow me to use my email and sent me a verification code for security purposes at my recovery Gmail address. I entered the verification code into AOL Desktop Gold and instead of just accepting it and bringing me to my AOL email, a pop up appeared insisting I secure my account and reset my password. What's the point of a verification code to a recovery email address if you're going to force me to reset my password anyway?… -

The most recent update to AOL seems to have made an undesirable change to Spell Check. In the past, Spell Check would identify and hilight p
Fix spell check so that it only highlights potential errors when sending an email (as it used to do), instead of highlighting each and every word for my review. This change seems to have been made automatically in the most recent update to AOL, and cannot be rectified by either myself or your customer support technicians. According to the technician, this will have to fixed in another update. Please accomplish this ASAP. Thanks.

The new download manager
I want a Manager I can put multiple documents into and download at one time into a folder I choose. This new one is no help to me as I open many emails with puzzles attached. I do not need to organize my downloads the way this new one is set up. and I really want to choose where to put them because I do not want to use my download folder for regular mail items. you need to tweak this new manager to make it more user friendly

send out emails to those of us who pay for the desktop service when things change. For instance, you just changed how you show email coming
AOL has made changes to the way mail shows in the mail box, without notification to those of us who pay the $4.99 fee. Please send out notifications so we know these are 'changes' and not 'glitches'. We had to submit a 'bug' to find out this was new. It's alarming to see changes and not know if it's broken or working as designed.

adg
It seems that often when aol comes up with a "new" plan/idea like two years ago when you rearranged MY favorites, they were forever messed up and I was unable to use them as I had previously. This time you altered MY emails and I needed tech support to be able to use the mail. PLEASE STOP tinkering with my personal computer items. It is unwanted and upsetting

Mark as Unread
When I read an e-mail and close it. I have to go into old mail and open a different e-mail and then go back and open my original e-mail to enable me to mark it as unread. Previously, I was able to close my e-mail, right click it and mark as unread. I no longer get the option on the drop down bar. It gives me an option to mark as read, which is redundant.

Saving Images
Title: Two Points.
I wish you wouldn't waste time putting "This folder is empty" signs in an obviously blank folder. Instead you could restore the service of saving images from e-mail that I really used. This nice service has been missing too long. -
