    I have used AOL Desktop Gold since it started. Up until September 20th. when a new e-mail was delivered to me, it would automatically appear in my NEW folder, which I always keep open on my screen. Now, I hear the sound notification of a new e-mail, but it does not show up in my NEW folder like always. Now I have to refresh the folder, an extra step. How will I know that THERE IS a new e-mail? What if I can't hear the sound notification or have my sound muted? This has only started since a AOL Software…

  3. Red number on aol desktop gold email

    I have noticed that when I'm on aol desktop gold on my desktop which has amd hardware, the red number by the read icon goes down as I'm going through my email and yet on my laptop, which has intel hardware, the red number by the read icon doesn't always go down as I'm going through my email.

    Looks like a bug in the aol desktop gold software.

    THE EMAILS RECEIVED ARE DOUBLE SPACED.
    PLEASE FIND A WAY TO CORRECT THIS.
    I KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHERS

  7. improve aol desktop gold email

    After getting the newest update for aol desktop gold, the email, while improved, is still not right and I have had the aol software close out of the blue while going through email.
    Not a big deal though.

  11. My email box is going hey wire....

    When I read an email and then mark it unread it would stay in fine print, that way I knew that I had looked at it. Now when I open an email and mark it unread, it goes back to bold like I have never opened it, so now I have a box full of what looks like to me, emails that I have never looked at and it has screwed up my entire system. Emails that I had a handle on and now I can not tell what is what anymore and it looks to me like I need…

  16. mail screen clutter

    When I read and close an e-mail, I have to close out of mail completely and get back in to read another e-mail. If I don't, although the e-mail I'm closing does go away, it is replaced by solid blue covering the rest of the mailbox. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH MY GOOGLE MAIL ACCOUNT or any other application.

  17. Why can I only see a limited number of the emails in my inbox?

    Desktop Gold will only let me view a very limited number of new and old emails, though I have many more. I have to go to Google and aol.com to read and deal with the rest. This is annoying, as I am paying a monthly fee for more convenience and help.

  20. I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing.

    I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing. I have to get my email via my phone, but now I am getting messages from AOL that may not work after October and want me to do some app upgrade on my android to continue, I pay 16.99 per month for your service but only use it for mail.It may be better if I go to gmail for free.
