spam delete
Two agents told me AOL Gold spam deletes and goes into the recently deleted file. Not so for me and I have an AOL customer since the 1990's. This issue just started. I don't have time to delete spam mssgs then have to read and delete permanently out of my recently deleted email folder. Maybe it is time to cancel AOL.
There is an option in settings -> Mail -> Advanced -> to permanently delete mail that is marked as spam

Staff training: efficient customer SERVICE focus
Your online how to change password instructions are incorrect (No Account Security page/link-- it goes to Log In screen, without Change Password option).
I called for assistance, Tina asked more than 6 verification questions without starting pw change. I asked her to focus on resetting my password but she said more 'verification" was needed. When I did not have the last 4 digits of my credit card payment handy, she said I didn't know the answers so she couldn't reset the password. I said I answered more than 6 questions already and spent 30+ minutes trying to update my pw,…

AOL Desktop Gold feels plain and a bit boring
I think AOL Desktop Gold would be much better if it brought back AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) as part of the platform. Back in the days of AOL 9.0, AIM was a huge part of why people stayed logged in—it gave AOL personality and made it fun to connect with friends in real time.
Right now, AOL Desktop Gold feels plain and a bit boring because there’s not much to do besides email and basic browsing. Bringing back AIM, even in a modernized form, could make AOL Desktop Gold more interactive, social, and appealing to both long-time members and new…
We totally agree with you. Stay tuned for a future announcement that we think you will really appreciate.

web sites can't be reached, Copy text issue, spam moving,
Lately AOL keeps saying that some sites cannot be reached. That makes no sense as I can reach them through Google Chrome.
Also, when you copy something to put it in an email it puts it in twice.
When you move an email from spam to new mail it does not go into new mail right away. The number of new mail shows it is in there but it isn't until whenever it decides to go there.
None of this makes any sense.
Please use the "report a bug" option in the help menu the next time this happens. This will provide us with some helpful logging information that will help us determine the cause and put out a fix for it.

Next time you have an upgrade try not to have it affect access
A weeks ago on AOL a popup came up about an upgrade and I clicked it on and after that, I was not able to access AOL from the icon I have on my desktop. Your support team worked on this but when we kept trying to access it again from desktop again, it wasn't opening as it should
There was a Windows Update that caused an issue similar to this. This has been fixed in the latest AOL Desktop Gold update.

Show SECURITY status of my AOL GOLD!
My idea is to... HAVE THE DATE of updates, within where it says "You are up to date". I know I'm up to date, but don't know what or when the UPDATE was?
You can always see what updates are in each version by visiting our Beta site by clicking on the "What's New" shortcut from the top of your favorite places.
