  1. Cant retrieve old email from trash

    Please let me determine when I want to permanently delete email. I just learned that emails are automatically deleted after a week. When I do a search in trash, all I get is a long list of "me" emails. There are times when I truly need an old email. Your cat assoc. suggested that I save all my emails in a folder. That's not efficient.

  4. Focus Test Feedback for Themes

    I've been testing the new themes in the beta build. Love it so far, but here is one small bug I've found so far:

    1) Changing themes sometimes requires a sign out/back in to apply the desktop background. Buttons, widgets, window colors and controls update no problem.

  6. I'm a USA Citizen and Don't Speak German. Why Does AOL Think I Do?

    Every time I try to submit feedback on one of your many inane ads (which I should never receive because I'm a paying member), the responses appear in German. Why?

  8. Views

    Provide a way to DELETE the "Views' folder. It opens up expanded taking up 6 lines and is of no use. Currently it can't be modified or deleted.

  10. Why does the search box at the right of the home screen go to full screen by itself? Needs to be fixed.

    I don't have a fix, that is your job. Perhaps if you put it back the way it was previous to this display change.

  14. drive

    When I click on a google drive link in an email, the browser can not open it, and it says the browser is out of date, even though my app is up to date. Also, I think it would be great if you could add extension capabilities to the browser so I could have the last pass extension already in the browser when I use it. Thanks!

  17. desktop gold mail composing.

    On Desktop Gold, when trying to write an email, there are no longer manageable margins. in other words, when typing a line in an email, it keeps going beyond the margins of the email, and when one hits "enter" to go to the next line, one loses sight of the cursor completely, with no means of scrolling to the left. There is no justification whatsoever.
    When I spoke to tech support, they are clueless, saying one must go to full page size to write an email. That is not workable.

    Also, the latest update appears to count words. that is…

  18. What Does GMME Stand For?

    If you're a beta tester, then you'll be using beta client software. The opt-out of beta to drop back to a GA release is to enter AOL Keyword "GMME". What I'd like to know is what does GMME stand for?
