  1. Download Time

    The download manager is great. However, could you update it to say how long it would take to download a file that is in the process of downloading?

  2. addressbook is gone

    i have called service. All address contacts are not showing up. Service did not help. Why am I responding here when it states that this is not monitored for support issues. This is not a solution.

  3. Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop.

    Stop relocating the AOL icon on my desktop. I have placed it just where it is most convenient for me. Please leave it alone. Not a big deal, but it is an irritant.

  4. Facilitate transfer of AOL files to other devices

    I have been trying in many ways to copy folders and files I saved on AOL My PC and place them as backup in a folder of Documents in my Desktop computer but I have not succeed. I call Costumer Services for assistance, after trying with the assistant we were not able to have results and he said that Gold AOL do not permit to do it. I am really disappointed to know that always will have to depend on the AOL platform to access many old files. I want to know if AOL can give me option to provide…

  8. Add an Update Password Feature

    The convenience of the Password saving feature is marred by our inability to change the password when necessary. I just got an alert about a Google data breach and had to change that password. AOL refuses to allow the change in the Browsers' Password manager's box. Data breeches are now almost a monthly event, so this feature would be a great addition.

  9. bring back the hover animations from version 9.0 optimized

    AOL desktop gold still looks and feels like 9.0 optimized from 2003 however, there are no hover over animations like in the 2003 version, that would be a nice aesthetic touch! also provide a toggle within settings to give users the option to turn it off it they don't like it. I can provide examples if needed lol :)

  12. 2 factor authentication issues

    AOL recently added 2 factor authentication for my account. My first option is getting a code sent to another AOL email - if I leave my primary email to get code in other email, how do I get back to my primary?
    Second option - get code on What's App - but I never go to that app and don't know how to.
    Third option - click other options & then I can choose a text or phone call to my cell phone. Why are you making it so complicated? Why not just send text to my cell phone to…

  15. Please add a "Delete All" to the recently deleted mail folder. Please don't respond with using the CTRL key.

    I receive on average 30 to 40 items of spam mail daily. Using the Ctrl key is a pain in the Azz.

    Thank you

  19. I don't like printing AOL Say the email is 3 pages and I only want to print the first two I can't because it does not give me that option.

    Also I can select two or single sided printing. The only way I can get around this is to print to PDF and print that on my printer I have the option to select the number of pages I want printed or single or double sided.

  20. Quick Find D

    Quick Find will not find email addresses. It will only find matching words in the SUBJECT area. This always used to work. Just stopped two weeks ago. Searching for past correspondence is an important tool for our business.
