  2. I am American and now working internationally, based in UK. Why can't I get access to Gold?

    My account has been totally screwed up of late. I can't search any of my online emails, new, old, saved, sent, etc. That is a huge problem since I have had an AOL account continuously since 1992!

    2 weeks ago ALL of my new emails just vanished, no where to be found. What is weird is ALL 3100 of them are still showing as new, but only 30 are visible from last 2 weeks.

    I am desperate to get this fixed and would even consider using Gold to retrieve them and be able to store everything on my laptop. But…

  4. Non-specific error message each time I forward

    I get a non-specific error message each time I forward a message to my local contacts list. Worked perfectly for years until recently.

  5. STOP SCREWING around with email.

    Yesterday I tried to send an email, and al that happened is AOL closed. When it reopened the email was still there. TODAY, I tried to send an email (thinking that you fixed it), it just sat there and made AOL FREEZE.
    WTF people, can't you do anything right??? Fix the email situation permanently and stop screwing around with it.
    I believe that, whoever is screwing up the email system "SHOULD BE FIRED"!

  6. Listen to your customers

    AOL has to start listening to its customers--or leave the business. If they don't, their customers will leave it anyway. Technicians are just running hog wild--introducing new networks, making changes in existing ones without taking into consideration whether their customers want them or if it will harm their customers. Case in point: why upgrade your network and remove security filters (i.e. restricting mail to people I know). Now, all spam enters my inbox--and anything reported as spam cannot be retrieved if inadvertently deleted. This is just crazy. I've never, ever seen a company like this one. Never!

  7. Email problems with AOL gold!

    I open the email tab but no email appears any more. Also when in email we must click each message to delete. Takes long time, unlike old AOL that allowed you to highlight many emails at once and delete. AOL gold not worth paying for, bring back the old. This is like many other software upgrades from many sources. Upgrades are usually worse!

  8. Can't get rid of spam number

    Not only am I still getting a lot of spam, which I keep deleting, but it STILL says I have 5 items DESPITE the FACT that I have already deleted them. What is wrong with AOL? I don't need this aggravation...I'm going to have to go if you can't return 'Gold" to some semblance of 9.2, which I never had problems with!

  9. Please bring back the copy and paste ability in the address boxes

    Copying and pasting addresses in the address boxes. Also please allow for editing. It is ridiculous to ave to erase an entire address since the ability to edit is no longer in existence.

  10. BCC RECIPIENTS NO LONGER SHOWING UP + GETTING ERROR MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO SEND

    As of today, the BCC recipient address no longer show; I have to click on the Details link for a window to pop up which is a bothersome extra step. What happened??? Also, when I try to send the same list of recipients, an error message no pops us, "Mail failed to send due to error", but it doesn't say WHAT IT'S DUE TO OR HOW TO FIX IT. ASAP PLEASE ADVISE!!!!!

  12. "Block mail containing specific words and phrases" doesn't seem to be an option

    In several other posts re "Spam," you suggest:

    "We recommend setting up a content filter in order to block mail containing specific words and phrases. To do this in AOL Desktop Gold, please follow these steps:

    1. Click “Mail” at the top left.
    2. Select “Block Unwanted Mail” from the drop-down menu.
    3. Check the “Block mail containing specific words and phrases” option.
    4. Add postmaster-relay the in the box below.
    5. Click Save at the bottom."

    The problem is--"Block mail containing specific words and phrases" doesn't appear to be an option anymore! Where did it go?

    I am using AOL Desktop Gold Revision 11.0.2007.…

  13. VERY IMPORTANT email photos disappearing when save into a "saved on aol" folder. Why does this happen?

    I have had some extremely important photos sent to me via aol email and have tried to save them in a "saved on aol" folder, only to discover that they are no longer accessible when I try to retrieve them. A short note/description of what the picture may contain appears in writing but no picture/photo. I have lost some extremely important family pics because of this. I am truly frustrated with this and would like to know why it keeps happening. FIX IT....SERIOUSLY !

  14. I have been using group email for my classes for years and now it seems you are not allowing me to do that!!

    you are preventing me from using my group emails that I have done for years to send info on my classes, this is a private group of people who want to be in it.
    And often, my addresses seem to disappear!! this sucks

  17. My AOL Desktop Gold is not working

    I noticed there are others who cannot use their AOL Desktop. It freezes up when I login to AOL through AOL Gold, and the only way I can even get on is to go through Firefox. What is going on? I liked the old AOL better. They really messed up AOL. I have been with for over a decade.

  19. Mail Service

    Go back to the old way. Set up AOL letters to be larger. Do something about 1/2 email I never get. I am slowly using other email addresses to move out of AOL. I have been using this service for years and I must agree with all the complaints being sent to you. I may lose $31 bc an email ***** sent me did not get through. Have you gotten too big? Sometimes less is more. Keep it simple and fix what is broken before making changes.
