  3. GOLD continually does NOT show me my current e-mails. I am PAYING for this and am frustrated. What the **** is wrong with GOLD?

    GOLD should show current e-mails first. Mine continually do not show up. GOLD is a mess.

  4. Marking an email "UNREAD" does not restore BOLD black.

    It does remove the 'hard-to-see' red check, but leaving the senders ID and subject in gray makes it blend in with all the emails that had been read.

  6. Editing My Address Book

    When Editing My Address Book, once I delete an entry, the system jumps back to the top of the list. Very annoying! Make the system stay at the point of "edit."

    A O L has now made it impossible for me to open a story on mostly any e mail I receive. This started about three hours ago; I am completely unable to open a story where it says, "Read more or Delete." FOr 25 years now I could ALWAYS open those stories. Tor three hours, now, that ability has stopped. I NEED TO HAVE THAT ABILITY: please reinstate that ability.- it is IMPORTANT to me!

  12. Get immensely better at what you are supposed to be doing

    You have been shut off now for 20 minutes and I have no access. Three other browsers are working. This is unacceptable and I will now begin looking for a new source of internet after using AOL solely since getting the internet many, many years ago. ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. mail

    I do not like the new version of email started in July 2020. When I click read, the email comes up blank.I close it, click read again and it comes up with the contents. I then have to go to top of email and click "allow xxxx" to be able to open anything in that email. More steps and nothing is improved, please go back to the way it was.

    Memo to AOL

    On Sunday 7/19,
    I called AOL concerning a problem receiving emails. I spoke with Precious. To verify my account and since I have only a landline that does not do text, we had to find another way to verify my account. She found a way and we proceeded. I was concerned about possible hacking of my account and Credit Card. Precious handled everything and cleared problems. She added Malware to my account. She also provided me with some helpful tips. A very positive experience

    On Monday 7/20, I cancelled my Credit Card (which is…

  18. Mark emails as being read within your file structure after you actually open them up and read them!

    When I see an email in my Inbox, and move it to an email folder of some kind, then click on and open up the email to read it, and then back out - the email still stays bold, without the red "checkmark" on it, and there is NO indication that it has been read. The system always worked the way I just described, but changed today (7/15/20) and no longer works the way it has for years. Whenever one clicks on a "bolded" new email to read it, it should always change state and become unbolded so that one…
