  1. mail screen clutter

    When I read and close an e-mail, I have to close out of mail completely and get back in to read another e-mail. If I don't, although the e-mail I'm closing does go away, it is replaced by solid blue covering the rest of the mailbox. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH MY GOOGLE MAIL ACCOUNT or any other application.

  2. password save

    AOL gold does not prompt me to save usernames and passwords, even though I have selected that function. I do not know how to fix this. I am trying to do it on my Craigslist account. Google chrome saves the username and password. Because of the ease of going to websites on Chrome, I have to have 2 browsers open all the time.

  3. AOL Desktop's Background picture flashing off and on

    I reported this as a "bug" the other day but it's still happening so I figured I'd try this. Whenever I delete or move emails, my AOL downloaded home screen picture flashes black and then comes back on. It sometimes happens too when I use the browser and change sites I am looking at. It doesn't happen on other browsers on my laptop, just AOL Desktop Gold. Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this or not but it's been doing this for several days now.

  4. Why can I only see a limited number of the emails in my inbox?

    Desktop Gold will only let me view a very limited number of new and old emails, though I have many more. I have to go to Google and aol.com to read and deal with the rest. This is annoying, as I am paying a monthly fee for more convenience and help.

  6. Big Graphic change in Email

    As a member of several graphic groups, we have always been able to see all graphics included in the email. Now all of a sudden you have completely changed it. As usual without a warning or explanation, you are making us work much harder and take extra steps!!! Why is it that it appears to be your goal to take all the good and popular things we've enjoyed for years away and make things so difficult..... WHY???
    can't you return the way we showed our graphics just a week ago??

  8. Windows 10 was updated and AOL doesn't display favorites in toolbar or save sites passwords.

    Are you doing anything to solve this this problem? I have to continue to re-boot 3 or 4 times until I get all my favorites back in the toolbar but I still loose my signed in passwords no matter what. And when I switch screen names my favorites are gone under that screen name. You can contact me under either of my screen names. Or will you ignore me as you've been doing? posted 12/2/2020

  9. Need a way to move mail back to the original Sent Folder. I moved emails by mistake and can't put them back

    Can't put emails back in the sent folder that I accidentally moved to other folder.

    ALSO, I can't move between folders New to Old and Sent.
    Keeps getting jammed. What did you do in your latest update? Something that ruined by AOL Gold?

  15. Database cleaning?

    why am I getting this garbage of "database is cleaning up files..." and after this runs, clickable links don't work in emails, my computer is so **** slow its unreal. It was bad before you started once again reinventing the wheel and screwing things up. Stop with this ******** already. We pay for your services and you do nothing but jack things up. Stop with the database ****.

  18. Wouldn't it be swell if AOL could allow you to sign on with the first try, deliver a non-blank welcome screen and show mail folders?

  19. Mail does not work.

    If I click on Old or Sent mail the whole mail screen locks up. Have reported this three times with no feedback. And I pay for this nonsense?
