  2. Can't upload pictures.

    If I upload pics from camera or phone then click "Show Them" all is fine but they never get put into a folder under My Pictures. Did a mandatory update and hasn't worked since then.

  5. My email box is going hey wire....

    When I read an email and then mark it unread it would stay in fine print, that way I knew that I had looked at it. Now when I open an email and mark it unread, it goes back to bold like I have never opened it, so now I have a box full of what looks like to me, emails that I have never looked at and it has screwed up my entire system. Emails that I had a handle on and now I can not tell what is what anymore and it looks to me like I need…

  6. Mail I have read is staying in my New mail folder instead of just the IN or Old mail folders as it did until 2 days ago.

    Mail I have read is staying in my "New"mail folder instead of moving to the "IN" or "Old" mail folders upon closing Mail on the AOL Desktop Gold -- this just started happening 8/17/2020. Was there an update that caused this?

  7. AOL GOLD: "Ooops, Something Went Wrong" Anybody else get this a lot?

    There is nothing wrong with my connection of computer. AOL Gold apparently has built-in glitches that need to be corrected or customers should be reimbursed.

  12. Sent mail is not being saved in the "Mail You've Sent" Folder

    I've sent emails over the last several days, Mail I've read, is in the "Incoming/Saved Mail" folder, but mail I send is NOT in the "Mail You've Sent" folder.
    Additionally my Inbox shows 5 unread emails, "Inbox (5)" .. but there is NO UNREAD emails ?!? All show red checks
    If I click on "NEW", NOTHING shows up

    It is making the email handling - UNTRUSTABLE ..

  14. Trouble with Desktop Gold AGAIN when logging in

    We have 2 email addresses. We have to log in with user name and password every time. Clicking "save password" doesn't do a thing. The font is off also, and when I click on Mail Settings to change the font, nothing comes up.

  15. font

    There is a problem with the font and it must be repaired. It does not change including incoming emails. The computer is not allowing me to choose the font of my choice. This is NOT an idea, it is a problem with a complaint.

  17. Help! My address book is not working well at all.

    Hello; For the last few days, anytime I make a change to my aol address book, I'm getting messages where the address book function is having problems and to try again in five minutes. I wait ten minutes, try again, but continue to get the same message. Yesterday I created several groups and this morning, they showed up just perfectly in my address book. Tonight, all but two are gone. This is really causing me a lot of stress, since I use aol to notify my church family of sickness, info, etc. What's going on? Thank you!

  18. Changed Passwords not being saved

    Thank you for not closing this.. See my Post below

    When I do a changed password, I never see the "Do you Want to Save this new Password" (or some such check-off), and of course the old passwords keeps coming up..

    IE, Edge, Firefox & Chrome all work as expected - not AOL's Browser.

    The Email "Mark Unread"  function does not work to restore Email from the "My Mail Folders" "Incoming/ Saved Mail" file.  Why is this?  Can you fix it?  This same restore function from the "Recently Deleted" file is also intermittent and problematic.  Can you fix this too?

  20. Old mail

    If I'm finally able to open Old Mail and try to open one all I get is a blank gray box, the same thing I get when my bank sends me the weekly update. Norton has scanned my hard drive and nothing.
