  4. OATH, ONE, VERIZON, AOL: Colossal CORPORATE ******** from one end to the Other

    Consummate, colossal, pedestrian, corporate ******** of the century back there in Virginia selling AOL GOLD, which is a total rip piece of *. What ball to sell this * and then fancy themselves as some sort of innovators. The Oath Corporate officers should have been dumped in the trunk of Elon Musk's space Tesla Spider. Get rid of them off the planet.

  5. Allow Access to Level II Techs

    Every Tuesday morning I sign on and the splash page and icons are all for the United Kingdom. I am in the US. Forty minutes on the phone with a level one tech at AOL - who has to get a level two tech to fix it - lasts for just one more week. The Level two tech takes forty seconds to make the repair. AOL is no longer convenient to use or customer-centric; now it takes time out of my day to use and maintain.

  7. When I open Gold and the sign in area is shown, there is no indication that the "Data Mask" function is present.

    I don't want my keystrokes to be seen by anyone. When Gold is opened, the Data Mask feature should be shown before login and password. Please fix this in Gold.

    I am missing a Download later function on my mailbox. If I have a number of emails with attachments that I want to download and extract I can only do them one at a time. Also the function always unzipped the file when finished downloading.

  9. E-MAIL STATUS REPORT.

    In the past I could block the STATUS information on E_Mail sent to me.
    It is important that the E-Mail sent to me cannot be verified by the sender that I have read it. Your tec. support tells me that I can not block the STATUS REPORT. Please make this feature available.

  12. Bring back a "Working" AOL!

    Whoever changed the email settings so that email is deleted as soon as it is sent should be Hung, Drawn & Quartered, and then Shot. Many people want to send the same email to several people and do not want to have to recreate it each time. I am not talking just about distribution lists.

  15. Address Book

    We run a small business. With the 9.8.2 version, when I added a name to the address book, I put City, ST in the box for the First Name. With Gold, this didn't work, so I changed everything in the Address Book to the State in the First Name box and the City in the Last Name box so it would show up on the email as City, ST. Now you've changed it back and I need to change all my addresses AGAIN. This has been very time consuming. Is this the last time you will be changing this?

  16. Can you identify the file into which I am saving my email?

    When I save an email I get a message saying it has been saved. To make sure I save it in the right file, can't you add a feature that tells me the name of the file folder into which I've saved my email? The old AOL did this but new AOL Gold does not. I would appreciate it if you can add this back. Thanks

  18. Emails composed to "send later" change their format when sent.

    The screen you compose an email in is a different size from the screen it is opened in. When send it, the message opens in a screen that is a different size. If you have composed a business email with indented paragraphs or outlines, long paragraphs, etc. the size difference in the two screens causes sentences to separate, and this leaves large gaps between words in the sentences. This looks very unprofessional. If you enlarge the screen, the gaps are even larger. Can you make the two screens the same size ( composing screen and opening screen) so there will…

  19. Drop down list of last 100 sites is horrendously incomplete

    Clicking on the down arrow to the right of the address box USED TO produce a drop down list of the last 100 sites you visited. In this shameful AOL Gold "upgrade", it no longer does that. For some inexplicable reason, you get a drop down list of some randomly chosen previously visited sites. If they are not the last 100 (and they definitely are not), how on earth does that help me? And like I've asked about all the other aspects of AOL Desktop Gold which are WORSE than 9.8.2 - why on earth would your engineers have changed…

  20. When I send an email, where is the setting so that it stays open to change it and send to another person?

    Keep emails that I am sending open after they are sent, so I can change it and send again to someone else.
