Restore the old spam settings. Now we only have one setting.
First you took away stationery and vast choice of fonts, emojis, etc. Then you changed how mail is set up (from new, old, sent, spam, deleted mail to current style) and the Spam settings from numerous choices to only one (blocked). it seems the longer we continue to PAY for AOL Gold, the less we are getting for our money. I see by the Feedback that I'm far from alone in feeling AOL Gold does not seem "golden" to your PAYING customers.

Spam blocking needs to have a "Contains the phrase" option. Spammers are adding suffixes to domain names so you can't block them all. I get hundreds of these a week, all with slight changes to the domain name, such as 124418747@addtocartnow-653zr.co.uk, 124418747@addtocartnow-22327.co.uk, 124418747@addtocartnow-5t5g8.co.uk. I got 42 of these in one day!

Most of my spam comes from 2 or 3 places. They change the beginning words with different stuff....but the ending words (domain) are all the same. Please come up with a SPAM CONTROL where we can just put the domain in there to stop them from entering my emails.
Example:
1234@marksmarket.com
5678@marksmarket.com -

Instead of having to enter a full email address to block in spam filter. Should allow use of key words or number to block for spam. A lot of spams have same initial aspect of address and then varied second part of address. If could block a key word or number series...would stop so much. Aware can put a filer in email...but that route doesn't allow to block completely, only allows to designate to a folder instead of being able to block completely.

Should be wild card * to replace the before the lincon.

Blocked mail needs to be able not only to block the original send but also the regenerated spam with just slightly changing the address. Example is ABC@85lincon.com to ABC@86lincon.com. The option that would work could be *@*lincon.com that you could manually enter.

Has AOL's SPAM filtering stopped? I've been receiving copious amounts of SPAM both in my Inbox and in my SPAM folder of late. Today alone, at this writing, there are 78 SPAM emails in the last 24 hours. I've taken to adding them to my blocked emails list, but it's just too overwhelming. I've been an AOL subscriber for decades and it's never been this bad. What's going on?

I have set things so that I only get mail from those in my address book. Yet, I have received one mail that was not in my address book and I no receive mail I used to get daily from an address that is in my address book. What gives? My phone has a more efficient process for receiving calls and blocking calls than AOL has for spam email

Help. I am deleting 20-50 SPAM emails a day. As a customer, I do not pay a monthly subscription to help you delete SPAM. AOL has done better in the past regarding bad email's. Especially the same addresses being delivered over & over to our mailboxes. Thanks and please help.

Seems they use multiple email addresses so blocking them doesn't work. At one time I could block emails that contain certain words, "renter", for instance but can't do that now. AOL should bring back that option.

You do not seem to act on what your members want. I get hundreds of spam emails a day and send them to spam only to get more a few hours later. Why can I not copy more than one email to post to my blocked emails. This is very time consuming and I may look into another email account (not aol) just to get rid of them.

I am receiving 50 to 100 spam emails a day from overseas senders that make a small change to their to their name, so that I have to add every email they send to my block list. AOL needs to block these spam senders. It ruins the experience and I don't want to keep paying for this!

Need a Wildcard to block Spam. Used Spam Block control option for 707892@zoqloq.com recently and then I got 707892@zoqloq1.com, which I added to block and then I got 707892@zoqloq2.com. It won't stop until you allow a WILDCARD!

My idea is to allow paying email customers to report spam email that fills up our mailboxes and AOL actually work at stopping the thousands of spam emails their paying customers receive every month.
The current system has the customer doing all the work to block spam while (I assume) AOL profits from companies paying AOL to blast their customers with spam on a daily basis. -

I've tried using the email filter function to block the countless emails I get from "116776969@addto cartnow-", but it doesn't stop them. I've tried sending the address to the block file, but who ever sends them just changes the last few characters. Why doesn't this function work?
