  1. E-MAIL STATUS REPORT.

    In the past I could block the STATUS information on E_Mail sent to me.
    It is important that the E-Mail sent to me cannot be verified by the sender that I have read it. Your tec. support tells me that I can not block the STATUS REPORT. Please make this feature available.

  4. Not so fast....

    You guys think you're perceptive, sharp, cool, together and creative. You are none of those. Instead, you just sit at your computer screens to look busy so you don't get your *** fired, which you just so righteously deserve. You're like spoiled children let loose on a fools cyber playground which tells me the Oath corporate officers must be as inept and dense as you. Having money, control and power doesn't make you right, it just means you can, which in your case is neurotically misguided. Sad.

  6. Oath officers colosally stupid

    You people are consummately STUPID. You took a good featured program and ******* it up. You removed many great features from GOLD, which is a real piece of ****, by the way. Hard to believe you twits get paid for this. Instead of correcting a problem, you just offer an excuse error message. What dorks. You removed the Drag and Drop function from the Favorites list and alphabetized it instead. Are you a 9 year old? What a bunch of colossal fools. And then you charge for this service? Email takes forever to send, photos won't load and usually crashes…

  7. RETURN IMPORTANT 9.8 FEATURES TO GOLD PROGRAM

    The Corporate Officers of Oath, LLC who bought AOL are obviously a bunch of twit-brained Baboons. They are living proof that having money and power has nothing to do with intellect and good management.

    And the programming staff are consummately STUPID. You took a good featured program and ******* it up. You removed many great features from GOLD, which is a real piece of ****, by the way. Hard to believe you twits get paid for this. Instead of correcting a problem, you just offer an excuse error message. What dorks. You removed the Drag and Drop function from the…

  9. Allow all AOL.com mail free users to use the beta software

    As of January 24, 2017, you all have cut off letting free AOL mail users to beta test, use, and contribute to this beta program. I had all four of my screen names registered and set up to use this service and so did my mom. Mom and I have both been involved with your service in some form or another since we first signed up as paid dial up subscribers back in 1993. Remember that? That was back when AOL ran on DOS from a 3 and half inch floppy drive. Now, look how far you all have progressed.…

  10. Address Book

    We run a small business. With the 9.8.2 version, when I added a name to the address book, I put City, ST in the box for the First Name. With Gold, this didn't work, so I changed everything in the Address Book to the State in the First Name box and the City in the Last Name box so it would show up on the email as City, ST. Now you've changed it back and I need to change all my addresses AGAIN. This has been very time consuming. Is this the last time you will be changing this?

  11. Can you identify the file into which I am saving my email?

    When I save an email I get a message saying it has been saved. To make sure I save it in the right file, can't you add a feature that tells me the name of the file folder into which I've saved my email? The old AOL did this but new AOL Gold does not. I would appreciate it if you can add this back. Thanks

  12. AOL Gold won't display pictures in emails even when box to notify me before opening mail with pix is unchecked.

    The AOL Desktop Gold software is not displaying pictures in emails even though I have the "Notify me before opening mail containing pictures" box unchecked. If I reply to the email informing the sender I didn't get the pictures, the sender tells me the pictures are right there in my reply. And if I open the email on mail.aol.com, the pictures are indeed there. Increasingly, there is no reason whatsoever to use the AOL software. It won't do nearly as much as previous versions did and it's full of bugs. I often have trouble even sending, opening, or moving mail…

  17. Appears to be unexplainable issue with old emails missing

    Went looking for an old email. After searching, I am actually missing all my emails from 2006 to beginning of my account(1996). My wife checked her account with same result. Tech support said there is nothing they can do. When I was on with tech support they confirmed they saw back thru 2007. 2 days later my account is now missing 2007. Again they cannot explain what happened. Also being told I cannot export my emails. Not Good AOL

  18. AOL you all need to fix this **** !

    AOL you all need to fix this **** ! I did what you said with regard to changing font in mail display; didnt work. You content has gone downhill, some of my bank sites wont let me sign in through AOL because the browser is outdated. $27 is too much. I have been with AOL since 1994. My first month was free, thereafter war $4.95.
