  2. Ads

    I see you've made the ads side bar larger with no way to make it smaller, only to reduce the size of my email space. This is unconscionable.? Soon it will just be big ads and a little space to read our emails. Plus we can't eliminate these ads. Any ideas how to keep this decades long time client?

  3. Multiple Large Ads to the Right of Every E-Mail

    AOL has suddenly forced not one, not two, but MULTIPLE ads to the right of each e-mail panel—and you made them considerably larger as well—to the point that all e-mails are now of a minuscule size.

    As I've said before, you can never have too many ads—and as large as you can possibly make them—right, AOL?

    Why don't you just come right out and say it? You want to get rid of all your long-time loyal customers and become exclusively a huge ad platform. Trouble is, you won't have anyone left to whom to advertise.

    Ever think of that, AOL?

  4. Out going emails

    When building an outgoing email every time I click in a different spot the email jumps, also if I delete one address in the address bar the remainder jumps to the end. WHY? Please find a way to make them remain still until I send!

  5. What am I paying a monthly fee for when I get over 100 spam mails a day with no way to block them?

    Posting for this same subject has been going on since at least 2019. Even if we could block them (AOL makes certain we cannot) it would show AOL cared about customers. I pay a monthly fee so am a customer. If you right click to block AOL tells you to wait five minutes. That is a joke, try it. If you click spam to send it there then you have about 200 a day to delete or keep and add another 100 or so every day. Time to get qualified technical support or give the ones you have permission to…

  14. CompuServe Gold sounds

    It would be great to have the CompuServe welcome/gotmail/goodbye sounds on the CompuServe Gold client instead of the AOL sounds.

    I have the sound files from a CompuServe 2000 install if you need them.

  16. column width

    Requesting a feature suggested in 2021. The "Save Window SIze and Position" for the Mailbox window should also save the column widths.
    The "Save Window Size and Position" should also save the column widths in the Mailbox window. Every time I select "Read" to open the Mailbox, I have to make the "My Mail Folders" column wider to fit all my folder names, and I have to make the "From" column wider to see more of the email addresses. Other apps and programs do this without the user even asking to save them - they just keep the widths the…

  18. I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working!

    I like how AOL Gold just up and stops working and then presents a screen window that merely says "AOL HAS STOPPED WORKING" and then closes the program and says nothing else. I know AOL Gold is a junk, dumb program but just shutting off and collapsing is pretty stupid. All the while AOL takes your money. Sick.

    Thank you for this feedback. We are actively looking for an improved solution to storing passwords that maintains the same level of security.


    Also, we are actively looking to add more image edit capabilities back to AOL Desktop Gold. The original image editing feature became outdated. Please standby, these features are coming soon.
