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.

I keep filing Spam to the Spam Folder as AOL has instructed. Yet, every so-many days, all the addresses are deleted and the **** starts again. Is there any way I can direct "Man with wife and 18 African priests having Sex" to the HQ of AOL??? Kinda tired of this GARBAGE!!!!

I have two AOL user names. One gets an average of about 20 spam emails a day. The other, most often used gets up to 300 spam emails a day. That is very annoying. My gmail account may get 2 or 3 spam emails a week? Why do i have to waste so much time filtering out spam emails from AOL that are filtered out by gmail and never make it to my spam folder?

I'm suddenly getting slammed with hundreds of spam emails in my Spam folder. I've had over 100 a day. This olld issue is new again. Twitter help gave me lots of advice, none of which I could use as I couldn't find the option to Block on my dropdown list on my Windows laptop and on my Mac. It's way too time consuming and futile to add them to to a list under AOL Mail Settings. I didn't see any AOL solutions in the old thread. Can you fix this AOL tech dept? or is this beyond your expertise? TIA

When I try to add an address to my blocked list I get a message that there was an error and to try again later.

As it is now, the AOL Gold "Block Mail" file functions are too cumbersome and inflexible to be of much real use for realistic, modern email / Spam blocking protection needs. Considering one of the major draws of AOL online use in the first place is its Email functions, belies a major purpose of the AOL Gold program. SPAM and Phishing Emails constitute the biggest annoyance on AOL and elsewhere, that special "OPS" and attention should be given to it through a revamping and revisit to its functions, specifically the "BLOCK MAIL" File functions and options. One would think that AOL and its parent company Verizon would have figured this out long ago. But, remember, part of their function is in fact to disagree. Hence, antiquated operations and service, for which we pay them. Too bad AOL isn't a bit more of a Democracy so paying AOL customers could vote-in the helpful features they want and need.

I have complained previously on the excessive amount of Spam in my Spam folder each day. By the end of the day I will have deleted up to 100 Spam e-mail being delivered to the Spam folder through out the day. You security sucks and if you wanted to have satisfied subscribers you would make an effort to beef up your security so that these annoying Spam e-mail would not be sent. I have used AOL since 2003 and in the last few years the quality of security for AOL is horrible.

AOL GOLD SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SEND ALL SPAM AND PHISHING EMAIL SENT TO THE "INBOX" ALSO TO THE "BLOCK EMAIL" FILE TO PREVENT FURTHER SPAM DELIVERY ATTEMPTS TO RECIPIENTS ACCOUNT. ALSO, THE "BLOCK MAIL" FILE SHOULD HAVE MUCH EASIER ACCESS WITH A BUTTON WITHIN THE EMAIL MAILBOX ITSELF. NOW, AOL GOLD TECHS WILL OF COURSE MAKE AN ARGUMENT AGAINST THIS PROBABLY SAYING IT WOULD TAKE UP TOO MUCH ADDRESS SPACE. BUT THEY ARE WRONG.

For example, if we could block @dotra,matternation.com it blocks all using that domain. That would cut down on tons of spam. Unless of course you're trying to force us to buy your spam blocker. Just a thought.

Continually enter addresses of SPAM senders via AOL instructions, and after 5 - 7 days they are all wiped from Spam Controls. Then one has to start all over again, and with same addresses again. We pay for this "service".

The onslaught of spam from "not a valid email address" seriously diminishes the value of Block Unwanted.Mail. And can the thousand limit on blocked sources not be increased?

Why does the Blocked Mail box (1,000 address capacity) keep deleting the addresses I send to it, even when only 25-50 are in it. I follow the AOL Desktop Gold instructions and still get screwed by Desktop Gold when the PSAM is deleted and starts coming again, in troves. What am I paying for, monthly????
