  1. Improve the sign off feature!

    It should be as it used to be...when ever we want to sign off, we merely click on 'sign off' on the top task bar. I am unable to do that with the Gold version. When I attempt to sign off using the traditional method, I get a pop up screen of an ad for AOL Gold with a 'sign on' button.

  2. emails and alpha transfers

    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. this needs to be alpha again. this is not gold...this is tin...go back to 9.8...i am an attorney and this is incredibly time consuming i can't waste this much time…

  4. "Status Screen"

    What is the purpose of the "Status Screen" that pops up when action is taken on an email. This serves no purpose and we existed for 20 years I am aware of without it !
    Just another irritation, requiring more mouse clicks, brought on with the unwanted, unnecessary "Gold" issue. Should be renamed LEAD

  9. Bring back mail download decompress option.

    Bring back the Mail Download option of decompress YES/NO. By automatically decompressing your loose the file name of the original compressed file. This prohibits business tracking of the original transmitted file in its zipped/compressed file name and format.

    When saving an e mail into a folder, under prior versions, clicking the first letter for the desired folder took me to the location of the folder. Now, I have to do so manually. You should go back to the prior versions. It is simply easier to save or move files under the old versions of AOL.

  11. Posting comments on AOL articles... Mouseover "like" count is now ridiculous!

    AOL responds to the feedback I posted with telling me how the new hover feature works. If they would have read my comment, they would have realized, I understand its function but hate it.

    Are you kidding me AOL? I told you about my experience. Did you even check out to see how annoying it is? Then you close the feedback so no one else can comment on it because you know 90+% of the feeback you are getting is entirely negative on the product. Pathetic!!!

    One more bad tick mark for AOL! Lack of caring for customer experience.

  12. INSERT LINK :-(

    1) ... INSERT INTO EMAIL "LINK" FROM A WEBSITE
    IS INSERTED IN ANY ALREADY OPEN EMAIL PAGE,
    WHAT A ****?
    IT SHOULD OPEN IT'S OWN NEW EMAIL PAGE?

    2) ...  WHO ARE  THE DEVELOPERS AND FROM WHAT COUNTRY,
    YOU CAN TELL RESPONSES, THAT DEVELOPERS, ARE FOREIGNERS,
    WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND AMERICAN'S HAVE A VERY LOW TOLERANCE FOR INCOMPETENCE & ERRORS!

    3) ... YOU HAD A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A WORKING PERFECTED AOL 9.8  VERSION !!!!!!!
    WHY NOT SPEND A MONTH EXPLORING= "USING IT" AND THAN JUST COPY IT. E-X-A-C-T-L-Y

  13. Allow all AOL.com mail free users to use the beta software

    As of January 24, 2017, you all have cut off letting free AOL mail users to beta test, use, and contribute to this beta program. I had all four of my screen names registered and set up to use this service and so did my mom. Mom and I have both been involved with your service in some form or another since we first signed up as paid dial up subscribers back in 1993. Remember that? That was back when AOL ran on DOS from a 3 and half inch floppy drive. Now, look how far you all have progressed.…

  19. It's no longer possible to "break" the blue bar when replying to quoted text. Just one more way Gold is inferior to previous versions.

    It used to be possible to add replies between lines of quoted text by pressing Enter, and a new line would open with no blue bar, but that doesn't work anymore. There is also no option anymore to use <<(text)>> to quote text instead of the blue bar. It's the blue bar, or nothing. Every day I discover more reasons to ditch AOL Gold and use some other email program. The new Gold is inferior in so many ways to earlier versions.

    I have been a loyal AOL member for over 20 years, much to the chagrin of many others telling me to get with it. I am struggling with your new AOL Gold as items I used a lot, like being able to have the address book at top of page to use link quickly as I use it a LOT in my work (real estate). Now I have to go to mail, and hit Address to get to the addresses. It takes more time now than before. I also like just having a "send" file, not have it clutter my…
