  3. mail screen clutter

    When I read and close an e-mail, I have to close out of mail completely and get back in to read another e-mail. If I don't, although the e-mail I'm closing does go away, it is replaced by solid blue covering the rest of the mailbox. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH MY GOOGLE MAIL ACCOUNT or any other application.

  4. Why can I only see a limited number of the emails in my inbox?

    Desktop Gold will only let me view a very limited number of new and old emails, though I have many more. I have to go to Google and aol.com to read and deal with the rest. This is annoying, as I am paying a monthly fee for more convenience and help.

  9. I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing.

    I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing. I have to get my email via my phone, but now I am getting messages from AOL that may not work after October and want me to do some app upgrade on my android to continue, I pay 16.99 per month for your service but only use it for mail.It may be better if I go to gmail for free.

  20. Mail I have read is staying in my New mail folder instead of just the IN or Old mail folders as it did until 2 days ago.

    Mail I have read is staying in my "New"mail folder instead of moving to the "IN" or "Old" mail folders upon closing Mail on the AOL Desktop Gold -- this just started happening 8/17/2020. Was there an update that caused this?
