  2. My husband& I have the same problem: Not able to actually REPLY to emails w. images attached.Unable to "send" reply unless we delete images

    I cannot believe we are the only two people with this problem .We aren't using the same PCs (his is desktop, mine is laptop). You told me to contact Tech Support and then you closed the issue to comments. I'd like to see if others have the same problem. This is an AOL problem. My husband WAS able to reply w. attachments recently when he went to AOL thru Internet Explorer.

  3. Improvement of tabs on Mail new-old-sent: WASTE OF TIME

    Your last Beta fix on 2/27/18 was to improve the mailbox tabs so they would stand out better: http://beta.aol.com/projects/desktop/windows/

    THIS YOU ARE WASTING TIME ON WHEN SO MUCH ELSE THAT IS CRUCIAL NEEDS TO BE FIXED??

  4. Cannot return to New Mail tap once I'm already in an AOL what I call cloud stored file. Also when I open an AOL stored file which I created

    When I open an AOL file in mail a special tap should show, not the new tap. Allowing me to go from this tap to "New" should be easily accomplished by just clicking on the "New" tap.

  5. AOL Gold is Terrible need a new browser. inbox not necessary. cursor cannot open anything sometimes.my2018 emails disappear at times

    why do you need inbox , new and old mail. inbox is redundant. liked the old way. my cursor at times cannot open anything and then i have to reboot or restart my computer every time. my 2018 messages disappear at times and then reappear at another time. Lower my price. I am paying for a inferior product. Like the old browser that was replace with Gold

  7. At least make it work like 9.8

    I don't like Gold either. Just making it work like the 9.8 AOL would be a great step. When in the address book, pressing a letter should take you to that letter''s area of the address list. When an email is selected in the email list, it will only stay selected for a few seconds. Right clicking on an entry in the list of emails will not select that email.

  8. I went on AOL today and this evening to check my emails and it would only open in the screen used for accessing through the internet.

    Please return this to the previous screen for when all I had to do was click on the envelope that appears on the welcome screen. Otherwise it takes me eight times as long to go through my emails. Every Time AOL thinks they are making an improvement, it creates 5 or more additional steps to achieve the previous result.

  9. I wish you would on your spam email screen move the delete all from the delete button or ask when you hit the delete all if you want to do

    I wish you would, in the spam email screen, separate the delete all button from the delete button or ask when you hit the delete all button if you really want to do it. The delete all button is in the same place as the delete button on other screens and I often hit it when I just want to delete one email. No way to recover from this.

  10. Please bring back the online clock that tells you how long you've been on AOL.

    AOL used to have a feature where you type in "Online Clock' in the Keyword tab on the very top & it would tell you how long you were signed into AOL each session.

  14. Why does your software also publish the name of an e-mail sender along with his e-mail ID Totally unnecessary, and making it easieI

    Do not publish the name of an e-mail sender, along with his or her e-mail ID. You are making it easier for Identity Theft and is totally unnecessary.

  15. There are so many improvements needed that I need to talk to someone in engineering or decision making. This new version is a step backward

    Please call. THere are so many problems that I can't describe them all. Should have been worked out in engineering. Jim Kimsey would roll over in his grave if this product had been produced when he founded AOL. This is NOT easy to use for email and reading things. If you're trying to make this into a substitute for an I phone, it has lost its utility and you'll be driving people to Apple. AOL was for MAIL primarily, NOT TV, and so on. Those features are useful for some people, but you've lost the ease and utitily and SCREEN…

  17. Please add "insert photo" to right button mouse click for Email like the old AOL had. It really sucks having to open each photo to C&P

    Please add "insert photo" to right button mouse click for Email like the old AOL had. It really sucks having to open each photo to Copy & Paste them.

    Also when saving email as unread it would be very helpful if the subject line would be made bold like AOL use to do.

  18. Please make Control+S work to save an email.

    And make it possible for me to save an email that I compose. With the current system, if I want to save an email that I compose, I have to send it to myself, open it, then save it. I have to do three steps instead of one.
    Also, is anybody working at AOL? I've written about this before and not gotten a reply. And look at all the other complaints on this page. Does anybody there care?

  20. 'Finance' on the tool bar

    the old and better AOL I could simply scroll over the Finance tab on the toolbar and have it automatically drop down showing the DOW etc. Now I have to click on it to open an entire page of info - some of which doesn't work... when I input a stock symbol such as XOM, Exxon, the page goes blank and remains so for 5 minutes. What's up with that?
    More poor performances from GOLD. Blah
