  1. Over 50 people reported they cannot put their signature at end of E Mails!

    How do you get AOL GOLD to PRINT your signature at bottom of E Mails? I have a "saved signature" and did all the right steps, but HOW do you get that signature to print out on the E Mails. Many people have written in on this...that AOL Gold is lacking the ability to do this!
    HOW DO YOU DO IT ???

  5. desktop gold mail composing.

    On Desktop Gold, when trying to write an email, there are no longer manageable margins. in other words, when typing a line in an email, it keeps going beyond the margins of the email, and when one hits "enter" to go to the next line, one loses sight of the cursor completely, with no means of scrolling to the left. There is no justification whatsoever.
    When I spoke to tech support, they are clueless, saying one must go to full page size to write an email. That is not workable.

    Also, the latest update appears to count words. that is…

  6. Automatic open

    AOL now automatically opens the next email. This is dangerous, as it could be spam, etc. We need a way to turn this off, or I am off AOL for good.

  9. Suspicious activity keeps blocking my emails

    AOL keeps blocking my attempt to send emails as 'suspicious.' They forced me to change my password. I did so. They then again blocked my ability to send emails. I have now changed my password several times with no luck in sending emails. It's a shame because I have had my AOL account for ~30 years. Looks like it is time to say goodbye.

  15. Emails: Personal File Cabinet Folders Disappeared! HELP!

    PFC folders: a random selection of about half of my AOL GOLD email folders mysteriously disappeared. The AOL Service Technician advised "not stored anywhere; no way to retrieve". How can this be possible?!
    I lost dozens of old emails with critical information.
    Per an Internet search, this has happened to others within the past 6 months, and has been reported to AOL by others.

    Have the emails simply vanished? They never even turned up in my trash. I want them back!!

  16. Mail

    I send a mail this afternoon. I know I did because she responded. I want some info from that mail and look at SENT MAIL. It's not there. :(
    I delete a few things. I know I did because they're not there any more. Go to RECENTLY DELETED and they are not there. :(
    I'm losing important info because of AOL GOLD.
    Dump it or fix it.

  18. 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!

  19. 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
