  1. I have used AOL Desktop Gold since it started. Up until September 20th. when a new e-mail was delivered to me, it would automatically appear

    I have used AOL Desktop Gold since it started. Up until September 20th. when a new e-mail was delivered to me, it would automatically appear in my NEW folder, which I always keep open on my screen. Now, I hear the sound notification of a new e-mail, but it does not show up in my NEW folder like always. Now I have to refresh the folder, an extra step. How will I know that THERE IS a new e-mail? What if I can't hear the sound notification or have my sound muted? This has only started since a AOL Software…

  2. I've had one email in spam now for more than a week that will not delete. I've tried multiple times. Each time I get an error code ET-5016

    I've had one email in spam now for more than a week that will not delete. I've tried multiple times. Each time I get an error code ET-5016 telling me to try again later yet all the other ones delete. I'm sick of it and want it gone!

  4. Suspicious activity keeps blocking my emails

    AOL keeps blocking my attempt to send emails as 'suspicious.' They forced me to change my password. I did so. They then again blocked my ability to send emails. I have now changed my password several times with no luck in sending emails. It's a shame because I have had my AOL account for ~30 years. Looks like it is time to say goodbye.

  6. ADG latency

    whenever you scroll through the emails it highlights everything the mouse passes through which is annoying. Please provide a fix to remove this feature which just showed up with the latest version 11.0.3316. How come we lost the feature whenever you add a new email address it automatically gets added to the address book, if you could please bring this back.

  9. Red number on aol desktop gold email

    I have noticed that when I'm on aol desktop gold on my desktop which has amd hardware, the red number by the read icon goes down as I'm going through my email and yet on my laptop, which has intel hardware, the red number by the read icon doesn't always go down as I'm going through my email.

    Looks like a bug in the aol desktop gold software.

    After getting the newest update for aol desktop gold, the email, while improved, is still not right and I have had the aol software close out of the blue while going through email.
    Not a big deal though.

  19. Please fix the copy/paste function - it seldom works and now has a copied bit of text stuck in the copy memory so it's messed up other sw!

    In GOLD, the copy/paste function in Write does not work correctly. Usually it doesn't copy at all; now it is holding onto the last thing I managed to copy in AOL several days ago so that I cannot copy anything else from any application. I just keep getting that same bit of text from an AOL screen. I see others have complained about copy/paste, but you've closed the issue. But it is NOT fixed yet!! Please reopen!! Thanks
