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.

It shows loading sometimes, but mostly not. It just took me from an old site "IL Tax Forms" and kicked me out of AOL Gold Beta in the middle of my completing the tax form/

it's too bad aol can't come up with a program that will work on blocked senders, you need to hire someone who can fix it, what are we paying you for anyway. you are disappointing a lot of people. what are you going to do when people start going some whereelse? I've been a loyal member for a very long time

JEAN & BILL SIDDALL commented
I am receiving about 100 spam messages a day which AOL is catching for me.
Many of these come from "admin@" followed by many different suffixes.
I need an easy way to prevent e-mails from "admin@" other than clicking on each individual hundreds of addresses. -
EDWARD STEIN commented
I agree, Renter and Admin and Newsletter all have 100's of sub names after. Every day I get 100 spam mesages from these 3 senders. Can you permanent blocks on these spammers. We often get messages that end up in spam that are not. There is no easy wayto go through the files to find them when you have 100's of spam files from several major spamers

I have 84 spam emails representing Sat afternoon thru Monday at 11am!
Who is this renter-info....why can't AOL DESKTOP GOLD Techs develop a program that these spam emails don't even make it into my spam folder? This is so frustrating. I report it as a bug and no one responds. I've added these spam email addresses to be blocked but it doesn't do any good! AOL: YOU NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING!!!! -

I would like the block list limitation to be increased from 1000 to at least 5000 entries.

RENTER-109023info@*as well as more than a mere 3 BLOCKED Domains,

I have been requesting for a long time, the ability to block email addresses that are generating a lot of spam to my email box. I used to be able to type part of the address and use wild cards (*) to block the spam. That feature was taken away for awhile and then restored. But, when it was restored, there is not a button allowing me to add specific email addresses. I am using AOL Desktop Gold. I read some of your feedback and responses but none of them work in AOL Desktop Gold. I can only come to the conclusion that whoever owns AOL now is profiting from the massive amounts of spam generated to my email box and that you refuse to stop that kind of kick-back money by allowing a user to block off certain spamers. I'm at my wits end because a great deal of these are lewd and from the same, similar email address but at a different URL/domain. (The programming to block spamers would be really simple so why not update AOL Desktop Gold to allow that feature again?
