  1. My Portfolio

    My portfolio continuously has pricing problems, etc. It is limited in the securities it supports. Can it be replaced with a more reliable system? What about Yahoo Finance is it better or at least more reliable? Aren't your companies combined? AOL God is better than a year ago, hopefully it will improve to the previous versions that were free.

  2. this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could

    Mildred E. ***** (m****10@aol.com) this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could be corrected.
    It is hard to explain however below is my explanation of what is happening. I do not have the boxed check to save my email addresses.

    1. When I put in group emails the emails immediately transfer to the section where I have my single emails by name.

    2. Consequently the emails address only from the group are mingled in with my emails by name.

    3. If I delete the emails only that's…

    Due to recent adjustments to the AOL Mail platform, any new email addresses you add to the Address Book Groups, will also appear as individual contacts.

  4. My portfolio

    As of today, 9-18-18, I am unable to access my stock portfolio on AOL again on my laptop and my iPad. This happened several months ago, and AOL techs fixed it. It’s happening again. I get the page where it states “sign in or sign up” and “view your portfolios,” but when you click on either one of those statements nothing happens. Is anyone else having that problem? I called tech support, and after being on the phone with them for more than 30 minutes, they were unable to fix this proble,.

  13. Need for Email Dictionary for Users Who Inadvertently Add Misspelled Words, Including Names!

    I wrote yesterday requesting that AOL Gold users have their email dictionaries restored so that if users approve a misspelled word, they can go into their dictionaries and delete a word or name mistakenly approved so that it will not be accepted by the AOL spellcheck feature in the future. Today, I know more. If I misspell a proper noun or name and, for example, spell Dr. Yaryura, Yarura without the second "y," AOL Gold will accept the misspelled "Yarura," and I will look anywhere from rude to insulting to stupid because intelligent people in the communications field use their…

  17. Comment#2 - How to read very old emails using AOL GOLD

    Per earlier response to my 1st comment, I called Tech Support who told me the provision that I need, is not available. I was told I needed an old computer to read old emails using old AOL 9.8.2 . My old computer crashed. I now have AOL GOLD on a new computer and need to read old emails from old PFC organize files that are backed up on a flash drive. There is no provision to import old emails from old PFC organize files from a flash drive to AOL GOLD. I don't want these old emails converted to AOL…

    The option to import a personal filing cabinet (PFC) file from an older version of the AOL Desktop, into the AOL Desktop Gold, is now available. Before following the steps below, make sure your AOL Desktop Gold is up to date.

    Go to the Help menu on the top right, select ‘About AOL‘ from the drop-down menu, and make sure you have the 11.0.2102 Revision. In case you have a lower revision, click ‘Check for Updates’ from the Help menu, and after 15-20 minutes close and reopen the AOL Desktop Gold.

    The ‘PFC Import’ feature allows you manually navigate to a PFC file on your computer and import data from that file. To use this new feature follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to AOL Desktop Gold.
    2. Click the Settings icon.
    3. While in the General settings, click the ‘My Data’ tab.
    4. Click ‘PFC Import’.
    5.…
