  1. Scam Messages

    I get at least 3 scam messages every day. The say I won something, an account of mine will be cancelled or my my computer has several viruses. I need to contact them immediately. It would be nice to be able to report these to AOL and once verified by AOL do not allow them through the system at all. Some probably use different addresses but AOL should be able to quickly identify them all by the common message. It is time for the various email networks do something.

    We received a lot of feedback from users that wanted to see more space for the typing area of the email when they were typing so we collapse the rest of the write mail window to accommodate that. However, if you prefer to see the CC or BCC fields all the time, you can easily turn them back on in settings -> Mail -> General, near the bottom of the window. 

  11. I'm receiving a lot of emails like this---Your xyz account has expired.

    I'm sure that most of the AOL customers are getting a big increase of these emails that are designed to entrap the poor unsuspecting (me included) into proving their credit card information to these thieves! Does AOL have a plan to help stop this predatory practice?

  13. Why are we not allowed to use any font we have downloaded on our computers in email? Why are we limited to only a few fonts to choose from?

    AOL Desktop Gold uses fonts that are available by default for most users. Fonts on any specific computer are only on that one computer, meaning, if you were to write an email using a custom font on your computer, it would not be the same font on the computer where a recipient is reading that email which could corrupt the view the sender was expecting.

    In some cases, you can click on "Details" on the read mail window. This will show you the coded header files and possible display the true email address where the email came from. You can then use this email address to block mails.

  19. Can AOL change the InBox setting with the senseless OLD MAIL

    I hope someday that AOL will realize how disastrous the OLD MAIL feature is in the IN BOX. The email drops into the OLD box and if you do not notice it, you lose the email!!! It is one of the worst settings that I have ever experienced in my 23 years of using AOL!

  20. AOL GOLD CREATED NON-PAYMENT VIRUS

    AN AOL GOLD SENT VIRUS WILL LOCK UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR NON-PAYMENT
    IF A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT TO AOL IS DECLINED, IN THIS CASE A $3.99 MONTHLY FEE, THE AOL GOLD PROGRAM UPON OPENING, WILL SEND A COMPUTER LOCK TO DISABLE ANY FURTHER MOVEMENT, ACTION OR NAVIGATION REQUIRING CUSTOMER TO Ctrl-Alt-Delete TO ESCAPE THE AOL COMPUTER LOCK. NOT ONLY IS THIS ACTION ILLEGAL BUT UNETHICAL. THIS ILLEGAL TACTIC FURTHER CONFIRMS AND DEFINES THE ONGOING UNIVERSE OF CORRUPTION IN WHICH AOL OPERATES. HOLDING A PAYING CUSTOMER'S COMPUTER PRISONER FOR NON-PAYMENT OF A MONTHLY CHARGE IS DESPICABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE AND CORRUPT CORPORATE…

    AOL Desktop Gold requires a subscription to use it. If you no longer have a current subscription the product will not allow you to sign on until you do have a current subscription. AOL will NEVER prevent or block anything on your computer. If you received a communication stating anything different, it is a scam. Please call 866-265-5070 and report it.
