  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!!!!

  5. "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.…

  6. 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 !

  7. 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

  10. 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.

  12. 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.
