  5. Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send my email like I used to be able to do.

    Still waiting for the capability to write emails off-line before I sign on to send them. This desktop software doesn't always load my emails once I've signed on...but it NEVER fails to load the advertising!!!! (Obviously advertising has precedence over my need to read and respond to emails!) Also, when I am responding to an email and delete what the other person has sent me in order to respond, the program doesn't recognize my preferences in font and size any longer. It is changed to some weird default font and size; I have to change it back to my preference…

  8. The rolling news ribbon on the Welcome screen no longer has a pause selection.

    The rolling news stories on the welcome page used to have a pause selection where you could stop the news from advancing to the next topic. Shouldn't be difficult to restore it. Just curious why it was removed.

  10. Windows OS - Alt Key Numeric Codes have stopped filling in email composition field.

    Windows OS - Alt Key Numeric Codes have stopped filling in email composition field.

    I frequently use the Alt Key Code characters to impart a thought when corresponding with peers via email.
    Currently after moving the cursor to the text composition field and pressing the 'Left ALT' key the cursor disappears after the three digit numerical code is applied.
    I do find that now when the 'Left ALT' key is depressed along with an alpha character that is the first character in the AOL drop down options at the top pf the desktop it opens the corresponding title.
    I have…

  14. this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could

    Mildred E. ***** (m****10@aol.com) this is my 9th time trying to correct this problem I decided to try one more time to see if it could be corrected.
    It is hard to explain however below is my explanation of what is happening. I do not have the boxed check to save my email addresses.

    1. When I put in group emails the emails immediately transfer to the section where I have my single emails by name.

    2. Consequently the emails address only from the group are mingled in with my emails by name.

    3. If I delete the emails only that's…

    Due to recent adjustments to the AOL Mail platform, any new email addresses you add to the Address Book Groups, will also appear as individual contacts.

  15. Upgrade mobile site

    Upgrade your mobile browser security.
    Whenever I'm using AOL on my mobile browser I get spam pop ups preventing me from reading my emails. Stuff like "You've won a walmart gift card" Its really annoying.

  20. Address book problems

    I have spent the last hour on the phone with tech support trying to be able to edit and/or delete contacts in my address book. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it. Nothing the agent tried has worked and when I try to edit an address in the address book, no change is made. I also cannot delete any contacts.
