  1. Why

    Why when I send someone an Email with a picture and I look at my sent mail all I get is a blank screen with a tiny box in the upper left that can't be opened or expanded? It didn't used to do that. Extremely annoying.

  4. Technical support issues re: email

    For the last couple of weeks, almost all of my email is going directly to spam. I've checked every 'settings' and 'email' option available to make sure I have no one blocked, but it still goes to email, EVEN AFTER I have clicked on each entry to say "This is not spam." I've 'chatted' with tech support twice - no luck. I've also called aol twice,
    no luck, even tho one of those calls was to a 'higher level' of tech support. Now what do I do?

  11. See below

    I can only delete one incoming mail at a
    Time. It takes forever. That is rediculous. It was not always that way.
    On comcast Email. I can check on a whole bunch of mail and delete all of it
    The same for “yesterday”. It depends on when you check your mail. There is no date. Nor or what day.
    Who has time to guess and for why.
    I would think this would have been all figured out.

  12. Bug in New Spam Settings

    I mistakenly added a word to the list of specific words and phrases (then realized it was a bad idea, as now hundreds of emails are being sent to the Spam Folder). When I try to remove it, I get an error: "We seem to have trouble sending this request. Please try again in 5 minutes. Code: Forbidden." No matter how many times I've tried, the "spam" word I want to delete won't go away! Please fix this!! I can provide a screenshot if you need it.

  13. Delay in getting email on desktop

    I can't see any emails after mid-August from the AOL desktop. Emails show up much faster on the mobile app and in other apps using my AOL account. On the desktop, whether on the AOL desktop or by going to aol.com, there is a serious lag in the time an email shows up.

  15. The swamp has hit my address book

    something stupid is happening. My address book is swamped with additions I did not enter !
    How can this happen ? Most important , how do I stop this intrusion !
    Just when one reaches the point of accepting the fiasco of changes that have been passed off as "improvements" then you find another curve ball

  18. Forwarding E-Mail from Indiana University E-Mail Address to AOL E-Mail Address

    I have been an AOL subscriber since I went online, over 25 years ago. I have also been an adjunct professor of law at Indiana University's McKinney School of Law over that same time period. For the convenience of both myself and my students, I have always forwarded e-mail sent to my IU e-mail address to one of my AOL screen names, **@aol.com.

    However, following my usual practice in preparation for the new academic year which will start this next week, I tested the forwarding feature last week. Much to my chagrin and disappointment, it no longer worked. Instead, I…

  20. Problems with receiving "Next Door" emails.

    For the past three weeks, I haven't received any updates from "Next Door". I have checked with Next Door. They say they are not having problems. I checked my settings on Next Door and they haven't changed.
