  1. Why is it all of a sudden taking so long for an email to delete?

    Why is "delete" taking twice as long as it used to? I click to delete an email and there is a wait time now.

  2. AOL News - New (terrible) format

    Your not giving the full title of an article, just a partial title followed by.......in your new format for AOL News, is a terrible idea. I will not open any article that does not clearly state what the content is. This is bad for AOL and your advertisers a well.

  3. Email automatically going to "old email" while reading it

    When I open up an email and while I'm reading it the email is automatically sent to "old email". There are times when I want to keep that email as "unread". I don't like that it automatically goes to "old email" and then I have to go and find that email in "old email" and then mark it as "unread". I want to decide where it should go. It used to be that after you read an email and logged out of email, it was then that the emails would go to "unread". Please bring that back. If I have…

  4. You can improve AOL Gold by not changing how email is functioning without first asking the customer if they want that change.

    When some dumb IT person decides how emails can be better they either need to first take a survey or give those of us paying customers the option to have or not have the new function. Email being moved to "old" mail while you are reading it stinks and I want it to remain on the "new" mail page until I close it and can either delete it or move it. I don't want to have to go to "old" mail in order to do this.

  10. Don't expect anybody to read your news stories since you began truncating the headlines. Now no reason to click.

    Go back to the old style. Make the headlines complete sentences so readers know what the story is about. I'm not going to waste my time clicking on stories now that you've truncated the headlines.

  12. Latest software change to AOL Desktop is user unfriendly

    Latest software change to AOL Desktop is user unfriendly.

    1. the AOL search engine automatically shows up when looking at mail. It requires deleting.
    2. the indent space has been eliminated when typing an email message. Sometimes half the letter is hidden.

  15. Please Bring Back Ad-Free Paid Option for Desktop Gold

    Back when AOL still offered Advantage Plans, there was a little-known bolt-on called "Ad-Free Desktop Gold". It was unrelated to the Ad-Free Mail that works to remove ads from webmail. Since the new plans rolled out, there is no way for a Desktop Gold member to pay for having no ads in their Desktop Gold client. I've tried each Premium plan to test this, and I've spoken with Support - they have confirmed what I'm saying is true. If AOL could please bring back the Ad-Free option for Desktop Gold, I'd buy it tomorrow! Thanks :)

  16. Desktop Gold Mail

    Why do you have to keep fixing things that aren't broke. Can no longer use previous or next when reading mail. Have to close out the individual mail and then click on the next one. When you close an individual mail it goes automatically into old mail. Please fix this problem.
