  3. Sent mail is not being saved in the "Mail You've Sent" Folder

    I've sent emails over the last several days, Mail I've read, is in the "Incoming/Saved Mail" folder, but mail I send is NOT in the "Mail You've Sent" folder.
    Additionally my Inbox shows 5 unread emails, "Inbox (5)" .. but there is NO UNREAD emails ?!? All show red checks
    If I click on "NEW", NOTHING shows up

    It is making the email handling - UNTRUSTABLE ..

    I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents investigate this. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733.

  6. Sending emails is often very slow.

    Emails won't send. Instead get a message something like "We seem to be having a problem sending your email. Please try again later." Then you're stuck because you can't close it without losing it, and it won't save to Drafts either. If it finally does, duplicates or triplicates may occur when repeatedly trying to save it in Drafts.

  7. Six major issues still with AOL Gold, despite them being reported to Tech Support.

    AOL Desktop Gold still has major bugs after one month since its mandated use on January 14, 2018:

    1. Drafts are frequently not being saved despite hitting the "Send Later" button. Five minutes later, an error message appears saying that AOL mail is unavailable at this time and to try again in five minutes. The original draft has been "Pended" on the screen and displays either where it sat the whole time or it's placed behind the open Mail window.

    The only workaround solution is to try to save the draft another way when hitting the "X" (top right of draft)…

  10. Sudden need to sign in each time

    After being signed in all day, now when I close AOL Gold, I have to sign back in instead of automatically having the browser open. Then my personal favorites are missing in the task bar, Edit settings doesn't work and I end up having to restart the PC to only have to sign back in again which fixes the "favorites on the task bar, but I get the "welcome, etc. sounds each time. Mail isnt impacted. I reset the sound by disabling them, now every time I have to sign in. Why?

  12. My emails will not load.

    Now that I am paying a monthly fee to AOL, I have less service and less features. I have had AOL for 20 years+. This is unexcusable.

  13. News articles problems - broken links or contain viruses.

    Frequently when I try to open an article from the main page or a sub-page either the link is broken or a virus or worm infects my system. You need to do a better job making sure posts are clean.

  16. Gold lock up "not responding"

    After finally logging in and Inbox is displayed I try to open an email. Gold locks with with "not responding" and I have to go to Task Manager to kill Gold. My wife's account (on same computer) works fine. I'm paying for this why?

  20. When I click on offered News on AOL welcome screen I always get a web attack: Fake Tech Support Website, only on AOL, computer has no virus

    When I click on offered News on AOL welcome screen I always get a web attack: Fake Tech Support Website, only on AOL, computer has no virus. Norton always blocks this, but I want to read the news. I am paying for no news and risking some sort of internet attack from AOL. Not good
