  1. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  14. App Usage

    I am very disappointed in your desk top Gold to say the least. Ever since I started with it years ago, my computer will periodically freeze up and I need to restart it – even with a brand new computer I truly have to restart my computer at least 12 – 15 times per day. I use this for work purposes and find that the storage on AOL gold is most inadequate and probably should be marketed to those only using it for family & friends - I run a business using it. I cannot get files I stored on…

  16. AOL has attached my AOL account to my Yahoo Account but when I try to respond to a financial thing from my Yahoo Portfolio I get my AOL emai

    AOL has attached my AOL account to my Yahoo Account but when I try to respond to a financial thing from my Yahoo Portfolio I get my AOL email as the sending form with.. This I don't want because I use separate account so when the spam gets too great on my retail account name I just don't use (or close that particular) that particular account. I don't want to mess up this AOL account as this is my friends and neighbor account. I think the answer to this is to make an icon on my desk top to access…

  17. bad (or glitch in) update in past 2 days?

    About 1,000 of my "NEW" emails disappeared over the past day or two. It seems as if they, somehow, were moved to my "OLD MAIL" folder, but not by me. btw, it does look like there is a time cutoff going back about 2 years or thereabouts on these moves. I'm mentioning it in case someone else has this issue or in the event you want to share it with whoever does your software updates. I have a hunch someone messed up some code somewhere along the line with a recent update. There is no other explanation I can think…
