  1. When expanding a folder, the pfc goes to the top.

    In previous versions of AOL Desktop and AOL GOLD, when expanding a folder that has a sub-folder, it would stay at that location. Now it goes to the top and one has to scroll back down to select the sub-folder. This needs to change

  2. Forwarding emails to yourself Strips Link Functionality:

    Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but when forwarding a "your item has been shipped" email from Amazon, AOL strips the link functionality from the orange "Track Package" button in the body of the email. Very annoying, can this be fixed please?

  3. This new [Unsubscribe] next to the From line of the email - why is it there?

    It isn't on every email I receive. Some members of many groups I belong to have it in their emails to me and others don't. Why would I unsubscribe from a private person's email? If this is AOL's way of trying to do the "Do Not Call" list for spammers, isn't it just telling them our email addresses really exist. I learned years ago to NEVER reply to a spam message - isn't that what the unsubscribe would do if a spam message was in with our regular messages?

  4. signature on

    Add signature info to Iphone emails automatically. Your excellent tech officer Felix attempted to do this. We both learned that this is currently impossible which I find shocking and unbelievable. This should have been possible 20 years ago. Please Fix immediatedly

  5. "move to" for sent emails

    when trying to use "move to" for sent emails, the only option is "on my pc". the "on aol" option is gone.

    the "on aol" option for any other email is there, sent emails is the only place it is missing now.

    I wonder why why is it when I send a photo upload a photo taking a screenshot it turns out so grainy and fuzzy it's very frustrating and very inconvenient as to why it keeps happening

  9. Create an email app for phones

    I know there is one but it is not dedicated to email and does not even have the "you've got mail" alert tone if not going to fix the existing one at least create a better more simple one that is strictly email for gold members.

  14. Yellow bar

    I still don't like the yellow highlight, but it is much less annoying now that it does not shift everything because it was larger vertically. But there still is one exception - when the yellow highlight overlaps the blue (selected) highlight, the size changes and this is visually annoying and distracting. Simple fix get rid of the yellow bar altogether, but otherwise fix the size issue when on the selected (blue) line.

  17. auto-suggestions

    I am told by AOL Help that you cannot edit auto-suggestions on Desktop Gold. That should be fixed. I mistyped an address and it keeps trying to send it to that bad address. I want to delete that auto-suggestion.

  19. Past few days new incoming mail does not scroll up to be seen must be done manually. Return to automatic new incoming mail to scroll up

    Past few days new incoming mail does not automatically scroll up to be seen, must be done manually. Return to the automatic new incoming mail to scroll up.

    I had an AOL tech in my desktop Gold AOL and all is working normally and he suggests this must be a new feature. This may be true but I cannot believe AOL would do this as it inconveniences the Gold member.

    Fix and or return my feature to automatically scroll to the top and newest incoming mail fro me to see.
