  2. Message Moved

    Please remove the necessity to click on the "Message(s) Moved" box when I move an email to a specific folder. Having to use the cursor to delete the box is time consuming / frustrating. Make it so that hitting any key will make the box go away.

    Thanks!

  4. blocking emails from "host" server

    would be helpful if you could get a program written to block email that are coming with the designated server as "host" - i don't have any of my email contacts coming from "host" = they are simply coming from commercial entities that i do not need in my emails

  5. forward mail

    I would like to be able to forward all of my mail to another email address for answering while I am away. But all I can do is use an auto responder. There should be a an email setting of "forward all mail to: [enter an email address]" with an option to choose "until revoked" or for "X" number of days.

  6. Advertisements fill empty Spam, Sent and Old Mail box's

    Seems like every time there is an Windows update something in AOL goes wrong or unusual.

    My latest issue is that when the Spam Mail, Sent Mail or Old Mail box's are cleared an Advertisement is inserted to the empty box.

    If I leave one email in any of these the advertisement is not inserted.

    Does anyone see the absurdity of an advertisement being put there?
    This is probably just an over site that was not realized by the programmer by making an advertisement fill blank spots.

    Please make all advertisements in the email system go away. That should fix…

  7. Voice Command for Email

    I hope that you would develop or add a feature in AOL Desktop Gold that let us hear the email or have an option to make AOL Desktop Gold read emails for us.

  8. Bookmarks

    AOL should give users the option to star, highlight or bookmark emails received and read so they can be easily found and re-read. Gmail and Outlook both have this feature!

  9. SPAM

    You provide nice ability to direct designated Emails to Spam. Why not provide an option to automatically delete it. I get as many as 60 a day from a known Addresses, but now I have to scan Spam just in case something I want to see is imbedded among the known to be Spam.

  11. Can Music to an AOL email or AOL mail attachment that play when it is open by recipient

    To me, I think we need a way to Add Background Songs or music to email to play when the recipient opens his or her AOL email attachment note or letter. If it can be done AOL--Gold help desk live support just said cannot be done. I do not know how or if it can be done. But sure is a great idea. Thank you.

  17. ads

    Advertisement for discount on Pizza ....and low and behold there is a picture under the advertisement of a man on the toilet with a horrible look on his face. Why should I have to look at that!? I am sure your Pizza advertisers would be thrilled to see their product with this other ad. How sick is that...disgusting....please be more judicious in pairing ads.

  20. Update on the total count for mail folders

    Use version as of January 14: 11.0.3046 this is good enough. The inbox should should and new and the new folder should only show the new messages with indication of count. The old will also have a numeric indication. It is not necessary for the fonts to be bold.
