why am i getting so much spam ?
why am i getting so much spam ?
The best way to resolve this is to mark the emails as “Spam”, that way you can train the spam filter to better identify unwanted emails in the future. You can also block specific senders by going to the Mail menu on the top left, and selecting “Block Unwanted Mail” from the drop-down menu, then adding the senders emails address in the Sender Filter’s block list.

My SPAM folder has gone from 0 to over 45+ daily! Copying the email address to spam folder block does nothing! What has happened? How can you fix?

when I get spam now it is no longer stopped by the Email address book blocking option which has been removed. so, how do I stop future spam?
here's the issue....unwanted mail that may be harmful is received, to add the address to spam control I first have to open it to copy the address and add it to the spam filter thus exposing me to an unwanted intrusion. if I just report it as spam and then go to spam folder to delete it, it is not really blocked in the future and so it will be back again another day. while adding a few addresses to spam control may work for an unwanted site that keeps the same address, real spam keeps changing their addresses so around we go to my first problem....having to open the e mail to add their address to spam control. this is not effective, safe or efficient. I don't want to open spam email so that I can stop it in the first place!! is there any other option? solution?Btw, some of these address are 20-30 characters long of just gibberish numbers and letters so I really don't know why there is not some easier way for AOL to deal with this obvious spam so it never gets into my good email in the first place?
Alternatively, when I report an email as spam why would that not be added to the spam control automatically to stop it in the future. That would seem to be a pretty simple fix and one that would make reporting spam much, much easier for all of your users. One click and it's done!!!

My son (the IBM computer guy) HATES AOL. But I'm old, and I don't want to make the extreme effort to change to something else. In the past few months my spam folder has been exploding with things I don't want. I click "unsubscribe" but the same stuff just keeps coming. Isn't there some way for AOL to make this go away?
Also, my draft folder holds many items (blogs?) I intend to send to my readers. Before the new and improved(?) page, when I sent something out, it disappeared once it was sent. Now, it doesn't. So, if I forget to delete it, I see it again later when scrolling through and wonder if I sent it already or not. It's a problem. My poor memory and your stupid program not getting rid of sent mail, work together to make me seem impaired or stupid myself. Help me out here!

In the older versions of AOL there were several different ways to block unwanted mail, now I only see one way where you manually have to put the addresses in to block, also you cannot click on the email now and auto block it, disappointed in this because now my inbox is full of junk!

Block incoming spam and not have it go to Trash mail.

Why does no one respond to all these similar complaints? Why are there no reasonable spam controls anymore? They certainly worked at one time and were very effective.

Unless I'm missing something, In order to "block an address" in the spam control box, you have to type the address in the box. It is not only time consuming but is seriously prone to typos. There should be a way to cut or copy and paste the unwanted email address from the spam folder to the "block the address box".
Within the past month I have, all of a sudden, I've been covered up with spam. Yesterday it was 60, today it's 48 at this writing. Many of yesterday's addresses were the same with different subjects. Which made blocking easier. But some body wised up and today's addresses are all different after the @ making infuriatingly difficult when typing each one into the "Box". Changing my address is not an option. I've been a aol customer since the early 1990's. -

Thanks to Yahoo I am receiving 75-100 spam mails per day. AOL have given up on making this a top service. I don't want to switch to Google because of all their data collecting. Get Yahoo out of the AOL space.

Since aol removed the filter option to accept only identified email addresses we are getting hundreds of advertising we do not want. Unsubscribe does not because the send emails from an infinite number of new address. Stop email ads based on the product not the address alone.
