    My email used to show the number of spam emails that had been saved. Now, for some unknown reason, it doesn't. Please restore that function. It helps to remind me to delete them.

  5. If an article is a made up story and not truthful reporting of an event, then it should be labeled as fiction!

    Any articles you publish that are fictitious should be so labeled! Your subscribers need to be able to rely on AOL.com being truthful at all times.

  10. moving report spam or delete button

    Can you move the "Report Spam" or "Delete" button on the bottom of the "mail window"? Often times when going through my inbox and trying to delete groups of mail, I inevitably hit the "report spam" rather than the "delete" which is what I intend to click, because they are next to each other. Then I have to go through the spam folder and click on the emails and click on "this isn't spam" so that when new emails come in, I will actually receive them. I can't be the only person this happens to. If you put "delete" on…

  11. Allow open email tabs to be shifted side to side to order/prioritize as desired

    Allow tabs of multiple open emails to be able to be shifted side to side (as Google and Chrome window tabs do) to allow one to order the emails (priority, timeline etc). One could previously do this when each open email remained in its own box by simply shifting around or overlapping in order of importance. Preferable would be to revert to that old system, rather than this "all in one box with tabs" where one can't even see the subject on the tabs.

  12. Revert to allowing individual emails open at same time onscreen rather than as tabs in one box

    The previous protocol allowed one to have multiple emails open on screen simultaneously and to order them (overlapping) as needed, and in a way that allowed subject-line/date/etc to be visible and findable.
    The new protocol of all open emails existing simply as tabs in a single box is counterproductive. You can't change the order or see the subject, so useless for easy toggling.

  13. Link Buttons Disabled When Forwarding an Email to Yourself

    I've reported this issue many times and still no fix or response. When forwarding an email to yourself, for example an Amazon shipping confirmation email that has the yellow "Track Package" button in the body of the email, AOL mail is stripping the links' functionality.

  14. Why again??

    Why is it that AOL is always changing things on our welcome screen that we don't care about but don't do ANYTHING about the problems we tell them about? It makes no sense.

  17. search window upgrade

    I am suggesting to your Technicians to return the search window as it was before you upgraded AOL SEARCH. It was much easier to do a google search when looking for a particular subject. THE SEARCH BUTTON IN THE ADDRESS BAR IS TOO SMALL.
