It should not be necessary to sign on to read mail saved on one's computer.
The last time I complained about this, Product Support responded "The personal filing cabinet is stored in a local database folder, which can be opened by accessing the path below in the Windows Run box (press the Windows key + R): LOCALAPPDATA\AOLDesktopData\db." That suggestion is male bovine excrement. If you do that, you get a message "Windows cannot find LOCALAPPDATA\AOLDesktopData\db. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." And why SHOULD Windows be able to open an AOL file? As with all your suggestions, your "fix" is laughable. Equally laughable are your repeated troubleshooting solutions for slowness…

Redesign AOL Desktop Gold so that when there is a breakdown like today, we can at least access email save on our computers, like the old AOL DT. It's really ridiculous that DT Gold claims that we can save email to our computers, but in reality we can't see it unless we go online and log in.

Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send my email like I used to be able to do.
Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send them. This desktop software doesn't always load my emails once I've signed on...but it NEVER fails to load the advertising!!!! (Obviously advertising has precedence over my need to read and respond to emails!) Also, when I am responding to an email and delete what the other person has sent me in order to respond, the program doesn't recognize my preferences in font and size any longer. It is changed to some weird default font and size; I have to change it back to my preference…

Before Gold I was able to see emails by putting cursor on "Read" mail icon on top left side. Now, that no longer works.
Before Gold I was able to see emails by putting cursor on "Read" mail icon on top left side. Now, that no longer works and I have to open the mail box to see what they are.
This feature is now available. If you hover the mouse over the Read icon it will show the first 10 new emails. You can check if the feature is active for you by clicking Settings > General > Toolbar > “Display Quick Views when signed on”. Also, you can set the display speed for Mail Quick View: Slow, Normal or Fast. Changes are saved automatically.

AOL GOLD JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE
I just spent an hour and forty five minutes trying to answer ONE e-mail.
Mostly this software just runs endlessly and the screen locks up, making it completely USELESS. Nothing like going backwards.....I almost think that dial up was faster than this monstrosity. Trying to refrain from belligerence....20 years with AOL for this????? Depressing...This issue is fixed in the latest revision. Please make sure you have the latest AOL Desktop Gold version by clicking the “Help” button on the top, right corner of the window, and selecting “ About AOL“ from the drop-down menu. In the middle of the “About AOL” window, you’ll see the version you have installed.
If the version is lower than 11.0.1630, keep the AOL Desktop signed in for at least 20 minutes then close and reopen the software. The update should automatically upload. If the issue persists after updating the AOL Desktop, please let us know.

Thank's for taking those annoying ads of the write page but please bring back 9.8 so I can pick the sounds I want for my AOL greetings etc.
Combine the best of both 9.8 and Gold and stop trying to make changes we don't want. I DO PAY for my AOL every month and will not continue to if you keep *****with it.

3. Select ‘General Settings’ from the drop-down menu.

You can also preview the sounds before and after applying them, by clicking on the Play button next to the sound name.
If you do not have the custom greeting sounds, it means that you will have to upgrade your AOL Desktop Gold software to the latest revision. To do that, click on the ‘Help’ menu…
