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.
Hey,
Wanted to let you all know that you now have the ability to block mail from unwanted senders. Please click the link here to learn more: https://help.aol.com/articles/keep-your-inbox-clean-by-blocking-unwanted-mail-in-aol-desktop-gold

I get SPAM from UnknownSender@UnknownDomain and I cannot block it because its an invalid address. Why in the world dont you (AOL) stop this kind of obvious SPAM?

AOL - I know the various ways to deal with spam on my end, but YOU NEED to HELP US and DEAL WITH THE SPAM on YOUR END and BEFORE IT HITS OUR ACCOUNTS
about 200 a day now and it is growing!!!
Most- a very high percentage of the spam starts
A@ and the varied other names.
YOU CAN JUST STOP - REFUSE TO RECEIVE - BLOCK all emails coming in that have the A@ some name or entity in the title.
I do ot and talking to others get any legit emails starting A@ so block all of these and help rather than bombard your users with spam.'
Sure these senders may change to B@ or G@ or any other address they use, but you know what they are and you can block these from AOL rather as stated have all of your users continually having to clear the many spam emails we are getting. -

I am getting over 100 spam emails per day. The block feature doesn't work, as they just change 1 letter in their address. Why can't we block domains (like .uk) or words (like mcafee or elongation or dog barking) like we were able to do before? And why as a company can you not filter this spam?

Jerry Longden commented
Any and all deleted SPAM and "Report SPAM" Email addresses should automatically go to and be permanently stored in the AOL "Block Email from addresses I specify" file. You'd think this would have been an added feature years ago, but noooo, they just continue the AOL SPAM avalanche.

We need a safe sender feature so that AOL does not put a wanted email into spam when they feel like it, from one day to the next!!! Receiving that email for years, then suddenly into spam. WHY??
Happen with family emails all the time. WHY??? Old AOL was better and safer. -
Kathryn Jolowicz commented
My wanted emails which I use on a daily basis for years often go into spam, blocking me from the wanted emails. Do you have a safe sender feature as the other browsers do? Or a "do not spam" feature for wanted emails, which should never be put into spam??? PLEASE HELP! I have not idea they are put there since I have been getting them!!! How does one know that you have put them in there when I have been receiving them????

Each email address must be entered separately to the block list, either by typing the address in the block list or by right clicking on the email and then clicking on the add to the block list. If you get 30 or more emails to be block each day, that can take lot of time because you have to deal with each one individually. Senders can make changes to their addresses to get around blocked mail. Can't this process be improved by the AOL team or am I just not doing it right?

Looking for a way to make it more efficient for you customers.

I receive 30 to 50 emails in spam each day. Having to block them individually takes a lot of time. Over the last few weeks, I have used up half of the 1,000 to allocate to blocked email. There has to be a more efficient way to handle these emails. Most of them come from Admin@....... Unfortunately there is an infinite combination of the possible domain identities. Can you work out a way for us to highlight a group of these message and send them to the block list as group? Or can you just head them off from even coming to our inbox/spam box, perhaps allowing us to save any we might find we do not want to be blocked.

In less than a day, I receive more than30 spam emails every day. Most begin with the address "Admin@......." There are nearly an infinite number of combinations of domain names they can use. Each has to be sent to the block list individually. That takes a lot of time. Plus, in doing this I have nearly used up half of the capacity of the block list - 1,000 addresses. Isn't there a way to make this process easier and quicker? For example, blocking a number of the addresses and sending them to the block list all at once or designating any email address that begins with Admin with a interim list giving a chance to select out any that you don't want to go the block list? If something like this already is in place, please let me know.

It appears that it is impossible to block an email from Unkownsender@unknowndomain. Why? Can you make it happen?
-
servicestinks commented
We get mail from UnknownSender@UnknownDomain. Blocking it does not work. Seems like AOL should have the smarts to deny this mail to even propagate within AOL???

BOB KRAMPETZ commented
Make it easier to add Blocking.
a) allow "*" for ANY ID at a given site name
b) allow an option to add to BLOCK via right click on SPAM email

over 250 spams on one account and 75+ on my other account. Gotten really bad. AOL hire people to control these out of the blue spammers.

servicestinks commented
I have noticed that when blocking certain email addresses and presumably sending them to the list of blocked emails addresses, they are not there. I have tried one address several time by right clicking on the address, sending it to the blocked list and then checking the list and it is not there.

Block list should be able to block DOT anything not just DOT com and Dot net. I get alot of spam with Dot digital and Dot live. This is a problem because sometimes you put valid mail into the Spam Folder and when there is 45 messages in the Spam Folder I sometime miss valid mail.
