Email "Saved on my PC".
PLEASE I ASK FOR THE 10th TIME....give us a side bar to quickly access the folder when we are saving an email to "Saved On My PC". I have hundreds of email folders saved on my PC. Having to hold the ARROW, at the bottom of the folder listing until you get to the folder you want is SO ANNOYING AND TIME CONSUMING.
There is a side bar when I am looking for a particular email in a folder in the Saved on my PC and that is productive...so please make it easier and productive to Save an Email to…

IMPROVEMENTS
The technician was very helpful ... however, the AOL GOLD system tends to freeze ... prevents you from doing work on many occasions and you must re-start your computer ... also, it ERRORS when you are sending BCC (bulk) e-mails to organizations and groups that before was much easier ... Spam is now controlled - if needed - from everyones computer, no need to have such restrictions! Thank You!P.S. Loyal customer since 2004!!N.B. Also, your images are not holding like they did previously?PPS Please Change Policy on BCC/Bulk so we can stay customer friendly!!

EMAIL Options still missing important feature
When writing, or copying, text into an email. The option to INSERT a URL is present - BUT the option to REMOVE a URL is missing. It was in the pre-Gold AOL, but has been asked for many times, yet never replaced.
Sure, I can click "INSERT URL" and delete it.. But that's crude! and error-prone.
ALSO- when pasting words that contain a 'hidden' URL, the words are underlined and blue, but placing the cursor on them does NOT show what the underlying (hidden) URL is. Again, have to "INSERT URL" and read it... just crude again, and also error-prone. -
Downloading Emails - Need how Old AOL did it back
In the older versions of AOL, there was an option to Download an entire Email as a PDF.file.
Another Option was to Select and Download Some or ALL embedded images.This has been missing from Gold. Saving an email in AOL format only on either AOL or in a Local aol folder leaves it still in AOL format and not sufficient.

e-mail header and footer printing
Appears new AOL Gold update now prints a header (ie date and subject) and a footer (ie mailbox and page) when you print an email and the only way to turn off is to use print preview first and turn headers and footers off which is very time consuming but necessary to avoid the juvenile and unprofessional headers and footers from being printed by default. Better to have such headers and footers to be turned off by default. Otherwise, AOL Gold should be like AOL Online where the e-mail header contains a list of the files attached and only adds…

SAVING an EMAIL
Evidently the "SAVE" on the bottom border is not working..
here is the response to me from Product Support ..
(Why isn't there ONE PLACE to learn all the FEECHURS ?!?!?!You can now save a copy of your emails as a PDF or Text file on your computer, which can be accessed outside of the AOL Desktop Gold.
To do this, open an email from your mailbox, then click on File on the top left and select Save from the drop-down menu. You can type a name for the file in the “File Name” box, select the location where…

Why do you keep old mail on file that I have permanently deleted? As much as 4 or 5 days ago.
If want to delete a bunch of mail at one time: go to "EDIT","SELECT ALL". All mail will be highlighted to be deleted.

Store emails on our PC rather than on AOl Desktop Gold.
AOL tech support reinstalled AOL desktop gold on my computer. All of the emails that I had saved under the folder "save on my PC" from August 2017 to present were not there. I have contacted tech multiple time since discovering this issue. Many were not able to understand the problem. The last person understood the problem and told me that the email files were not saved on my PC but rather on AOL Desktop Gold. He believed that the files were still there someplace but that the tech support personnel in his office had no way of knowing were…

Improve Account Verification
ACCOUNT VERIFICATION
Improve your account verification process! I recently bought a new computer, installed AOL Desktop Gold and then you folks wouldn't allow me to use my email and sent me a verification code for security purposes at my recovery Gmail address. I entered the verification code into AOL Desktop Gold and instead of just accepting it and bringing me to my AOL email, a pop up appeared insisting I secure my account and reset my password. What's the point of a verification code to a recovery email address if you're going to force me to reset my password anyway?… -

The most recent update to AOL seems to have made an undesirable change to Spell Check. In the past, Spell Check would identify and hilight p
Fix spell check so that it only highlights potential errors when sending an email (as it used to do), instead of highlighting each and every word for my review. This change seems to have been made automatically in the most recent update to AOL, and cannot be rectified by either myself or your customer support technicians. According to the technician, this will have to fixed in another update. Please accomplish this ASAP. Thanks.
