  4. E-mail

    Why does AOL e-mail ALWAYS go down?? Seems like everyday. Are people at AOL trying to chase people away? Doing a GREAT job at doing that. NEVER had this problem when AOL Owned the company. This before Time-Warner bought it out. SAD AOL decides what e-mail is rejected.

  5. Here we go again!

    Enough already! Someone else is posting as Judith, but that person is @J***8. I am @**77, was the first Judith to ever post, and now people are wanting to know why I'm posting things that aren't like me. I have to keep telling them IT'S NOT ME! It's frustrating, giving me a reputation that I don't deserved and, furthermore, I seem to have lost my blue star and leader designation on the forums! I'm ready to sue AOL for their complicity in this and not fixing it even though I've mentioned it numerous times.

    I have several groups listed in my address book with the names of the group listed. Recently when I send out an email in bulk, one or more of the names are deleted and they do not receive the email. When I check the address book their names have been dropped from the group and I am not doing this. I want to know why this is happening.

  10. Difficulty Accessing Emails

    Lately when I sign in I get two to three windows with my emails. Need to delete several in order to access. In addition, emails are constantly loading, then the system freezes. I need to sign out and re-sign in again. I have been an AOL user for years. This is getting real tired. Also, of late, only the current day of emails is available. Where are they rest of them? Why do I need a day for all of them to come back or not receive a message that my emails are not currently available?...for an entire day? The…

  18. Write new software and throw Gold into the ocean. Still having problem with the software not uploading/sending emails. Gives "try again in 5

    Return to old software and abandon Gold. It is terrible. Doesn't give or send email quite often. Gives "try again in 5 minutes" warnings. Also deletes my signature quite often and I have to re type it. Really awful, and they make us pay for this pain. Looking at Gmail.com.
