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

SPAM -- HERE ARE SOME MAIN - A FEW - SPAM SENDERS
I will furnish the way their spam emails start, but as you know they use varied names after their primary opening name
A@
Admin@
newsletter@
contact @
These are by no means the only heavy and continued senders of SPAM, but so many of the spam emails start with the above.
Had over 150 today and you did a good job of getting them into the SPAM Folder. However, I am still having to constantly go in and delete them.
I am others have repeatedly asked that you - AOL - block all items coming from these and other names that are ruining AOL customers online activity
AOL - you owe to your paying users an update telling what you are doing to stop this. Have stated previously as today just stop all these emails from the known senders. Block them or fix your system to automatically REJECT and RETURN the emails to the senders-- BOMB THEIR SYSTEM!!! DO NOT LET THESE EMAILS HIT YOUR CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTS
I know you see all the users asking for help and it is time you do what is necessary to stop these or go after them legally. I know many of your users - almost everyone would gladly agree to furnish evidence of what is harassment of your users.
AOL - LET USERS KNOW SOMETHING - DO SOMETHING TO HELP!!! . -
FRANK PAYNE commented
How many unhappy users does it take before AOL does something about the SPAM. By saying does something I MEAN --- STOP IT FROM HITTING MY EMAIL ACCOUNT!!! I am tired of constantly having to delete all this.
AOL - YOU KNOW THE DOMAINS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THIS SPAM IS COMING FROM --
BLOCK THOSE DOMAINS SO THEIR SPAM DOES NOT HIT OUR ACCOUNTS!!!!
Today I get many spam emails starting - newsletter or just with the letter A
AOL - PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR USERS!!!
LOOK AT ALL THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE SPAM PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING WORSE!!! -

Spam is ruining AOL -- sure I can delete it but now getting over 100 spam emails daily and tired of dealing with these
AOL - YOU CAN STOP THESE. When spam hits you can fix your system to immediately return the spam to the sender - bomb them with their own spam.
Common names of spam I see daily start with certain things, and I realize the address after that common start varies and the sender can change them
BUT if you simply start blocking the emails that just start with the common letters or names the spammers use you can mess them up
Here are common starts - you know them - stop all emails starting with---
Contact - A - newsletter - just these three starts are used on a majority of spam I get daily.
AOL - it has gotten so much worse despite using the various methods your people told me to use - you need to STOP these or at least try by automatically returning to sender the spam staring as mentioned above and other common spam starting words or letters!!!! -

Do something about all the SPAM! I'm getting over 100 pieces of SPAM everyday. Using the blocking feature on email doesn't help. sometimes the same ad comes from several different addresses. I've been with AOL since 1998 and never had this happen before.

How about AOL increasing their security so that I don't receive up to a 100 Spams a day in my Spam folder. AOL security suck !. I have better security with my Virus software and if it was used by AOL I would not have to waste time reviewing each Spam to ensure that a valid E-mail was not put in the Spam folder. As soon as I delete a batch another batch is dropped into the Spam folder. This goes on all day, seven days a week at all hours. I have had AOL since 2003 and this was never a problem in the past. Stop sending these annoying Spams, courtesy of AOL faulty security !!!!!!

I also get mucho spam that I have tried to block but it does no good and they keep coming. Also my emails take time to open and I often time out trying to open a favorite. I have switched all my favorites to explorer as I get much faster responses using explorer.

I follow the instructions for putting SPAM into the SPAM folder. My daily SPAM drops from 25-30 to 5-6. Then AOL empties the folder (now almost daily) and I'm getting 25-30 every day. Why is the folder emptied when there is room for 1000 SPAM addresses??? Most I've every listed was approx. 225 before getting emptied by AOL.

In the spam folder you can only block one sender at a time instead of being able to select multiple senders and block them all together.
