  6. Big Graphic change in Email

    As a member of several graphic groups, we have always been able to see all graphics included in the email. Now all of a sudden you have completely changed it. As usual without a warning or explanation, you are making us work much harder and take extra steps!!! Why is it that it appears to be your goal to take all the good and popular things we've enjoyed for years away and make things so difficult..... WHY???
    can't you return the way we showed our graphics just a week ago??

  10. Mail and mailbox slow to load

    Last update has broken the mailbox. Messages in folders are extremely laggy - slow to load, load out of order and then reload, deleting messages is slow - everything was working great and now it's a mess.

    The spam folder has had an issue for awhile. Clicking on "this is not spam" causes the message to disappear completely. It does not get transferred to the inbox.

    Let me put you in touch with one of our Technical Support agents to investigate this. Please call at 1-888-265-3733.

  11. Marking an email "UNREAD" does not restore BOLD black.

    It does remove the 'hard-to-see' red check, but leaving the senders ID and subject in gray makes it blend in with all the emails that had been read.

  14. Mail jumble

    Every so often my New mail gets all jumbled showing stuff from 2014, '15, etc. in no particular order. New mail is buried somewhere. The only way to restore it is to restart the computer.

  15. Why

    Why when I send someone an Email with a picture and I look at my sent mail all I get is a blank screen with a tiny box in the upper left that can't be opened or expanded? It didn't used to do that. Extremely annoying.

  17. imbeded pictures

    pictures inserted don't always come through when I get an email from friends. If i go to another browser and aol.com they come through fine. What'sup after I know my settings are right I checked and double checked. This needs to be fixed soon or I'll have to get rid of AOL after all these years. It's always screwed up when they make these big changes like this. They should cross their t"s and dot their i's before they do these updates.
