  1. You have a section where you can block emails and sites but you don't have one where you can allow sites.

    You have a section where you can block emails and sites but you don't have one where you can put the "Good" sites you don't ever want to go to SPAM. Other browsers have that. AOL does not. Any chance we can get it?

  2. RE: GOLD AOL Why in the world would I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category???

    If I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category what is the point. The "Inbox" has not only the "New" but it also has items I have deleted. If I deleted items, I would think those should be in the "Deleted" area...not in a unnecessary category titled "Inbox". Get ride of Inbox and just have New, Deleted, Spam, etc. The "Inbox" is not necessary if there is New and Deleted.

  3. When expanding a folder, the pfc goes to the top.

    In previous versions of AOL Desktop and AOL GOLD, when expanding a folder that has a sub-folder, it would stay at that location. Now it goes to the top and one has to scroll back down to select the sub-folder. This needs to change

  4. Forwarding emails to yourself Strips Link Functionality:

    Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but when forwarding a "your item has been shipped" email from Amazon, AOL strips the link functionality from the orange "Track Package" button in the body of the email. Very annoying, can this be fixed please?

  8. Yellow bar

    I still don't like the yellow highlight, but it is much less annoying now that it does not shift everything because it was larger vertically. But there still is one exception - when the yellow highlight overlaps the blue (selected) highlight, the size changes and this is visually annoying and distracting. Simple fix get rid of the yellow bar altogether, but otherwise fix the size issue when on the selected (blue) line.

  13. email in aol desktop gold

    I like the latest build of aol desktop gold. A lot of fixes in place. The software is a lot more better than before. AOL doesn't seem to crash as much

    A big thank you to the IT department.

    However, I know that there is still work to be done and I'm sure that aol desktop gold still needs work.

    The email is still not quite as smooth as it could be. I have both a gmail and yahoo email account and both of those email accounts are very smooth when switching from new to old to sent email.

    For…

  14. **@aol.com

    On desktop Go;d up and down scroll bar should be on left side of page as writing is from left to right and would certainly help left handers or maybe put it on both sides and keep everybody Happy

  17. Automatically insert a space after inserting an emoji or pasting in a hyperlink.

    Hitting the spacebar doesn't work to add a space. It is annoying and frustrating to find AoL adding text to the hyperlink or having to type text after an emoji in order to go back and add a space before the text.

  18. Stop emptying Spam Address Folder every few days, let it fill up to it's max 1st.

    I follow the Desktop Gold instructions to the letter regards blocking SPAM by listing the SPAM Addresses into the "Blocked Mail Folder". Yet AOL keeps cleaning the folder every few days and I have to start all over again, with same SPAM addresses. And AOL is charging me for this stupidity...

  19. Why did you remove the ability to see the photos in a sent message?

    Before your update, the emails stored in the Sent folder had their photos that were embedded in the correct spot. Now they are just squares. Why the change? I am often asked to send another copy of a sent message with the photos and now it is much more difficult to do.

  20. Any chance we'll get back the ability to hit Ctrl and Enter and have it Send our emails?

    AOL used to allow us to use our keyboard to Send an email by simply holding down the Ctrl key and hitting the Enter key.

    Any chance they can add that back again. It should be a very simple macro command.
