chrome update
Chrome Browser is very out of date. AOL Gold on new windows 11 computer uses chrome 106. Google docs, secure payment sites and other highly secure site will not accept this. However, if I open AOL in another browser, firefox, chrome, etc access the same email i can open the links. Why will AOL not update my browser to the latest version. Have worked with your technical support team and the lead of the department. We have uninstalled and reinstalled AOL and the old browser still populates. This has been going on for months. I can not change my browser…

AOL Gold-previous commentator
I was a loyal UK commentator during the early days. I now find my AOL Gold is inaccessible and I have lost my Address Book. I am happy to pay but this is blocked. Please make AOL Gold accessible to the UK. Alternatively, return the earlier version of Address Book - which is used on Gold

ADG Icon in Toolbar
Need to change size of toolbar icons. My old Dell 17 inch shows smaller toolbar icons (23 that I added across the screen) whereas my new 17 inch dell xps only has 18 icons that I added across the toolbar.
WHY? How to reduce toolbar icon size? (Note - we know how to reduce taskbar icon size, but NOT toolbar icon size. -
Restore the old spam settings. Now we only have one setting.
First you took away stationery and vast choice of fonts, emojis, etc. Then you changed how mail is set up (from new, old, sent, spam, deleted mail to current style) and the Spam settings from numerous choices to only one (blocked). it seems the longer we continue to PAY for AOL Gold, the less we are getting for our money. I see by the Feedback that I'm far from alone in feeling AOL Gold does not seem "golden" to your PAYING customers.

AOL on desktop computer
I want aol mail on my computer. How can I do that? I've always gotten it there in the past. Now there seems to be a problem with it. I don't understand because that has always been my go to mail source! I enjoy seeing it on a big screen and typing on a real keyboard. By the way I have been an AOL customer for as long as I can remember and pay for it monthly--not the free version! Help me!
To access AOL Mail on your computer, go to the following URL in a browser such as Safari, Firefox or Chrome:
Thank you!

delete all
The delete all button in spam is the first button on right. All other windows have the delete button as the first button on right. This creates confusion. Habitually I hit the furthest right button. However, in spam I delete all msgs accidentally. Is there any help to re-obtain messages once permanently deleted? HELP!
This has been fixed based on your feedback. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

larger font for mailbox
Larger font size for the mailbox, listing new mail. It used to be larger before but it seems that after the update and it gives me option to select small, medium and large. Upon selecting large, still its to small of a font size for me. I cant read my email on mail box. Please add XL or XXL font selection.
The option to change the font size in your mailbox is now available.
You can now choose between four font sizes, small, medium, large and extra large. To change the font size, first open your mailbox by clicking on the ‘Read’ button on the top left, then go to ‘Mailbox Options’ on the top right, and select your desired font size from the ‘Text size’ category.
In case you do not see the Text Size option, you will need to update the AOL Desktop Gold to the latest revision. To do that, click on the Help menu on the top, select ‘Check for Updates’, and after 10-15 minutes close and re-open the software.

Give back old sign in screen where you can see primary and secondary names and if either has messages.
On the old sign-in screen, you could see at a glance your primary and secondary screen names and if either had any messages. Now you only see one user name and you do not see if it has messages. And when you log into it to see if you have messages, it is a huge waste of time to have to get out of primary name and log into secondary name just to see if you have any messages there. Why would you go backwards and create a sign in screen that's not user friendly and one that purposely wastes…
