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 am a 79 yr old male - On the Mailbox page, I don't need the constant flow of women's underwear, women's dresses, women's stuff. I can't make it sstop or change.

Can no longer put unwanted spam names in my keep spam folder for a long time. There should be a button in the spam folder to AUTOMATICALLY BLOCK THE EMAIL FOREVER.

would like a way to block an the top level of a domain. recently there is a domain that started showing up in my SPAM folder that I can block individually but I'd like to be able to block the top level of the domain. I've posted this idea before but it doesn't show up in the IDEAS area so I'm re-posting.

I have been getting large numbers of e-mails that are put into my SPAM folder but I have been unable to add this e-mail to block it from ever showing up. The site is "office@berly.net" without the quotes. I have tried numerous times to add this address so that all future messages would be blocked but I don't know how to do this. Hope you can help me because I am tired of seeing "office@berly.net" in my SPAM folder. Sometimes I get 15 or 20 msgs from that address. Please tell me how to do this. Thanks.

I can't find any button to press anywhere. Usually there's a box to point and click, at least there was in the old days? What happened? I'm starting to get more spam again.
I'm doing all the right things, but this is WRONG!

You promised us to add back the 2nd section of Spam Controls (blocking by name) a year ago, but i don't see it on my screen! Also, there is NO button or section to press to add my spam control items at all. Then, I'm not sure that they even GET ADDED! YOUR PROMISES ARE A JOKE! AOL is the laughing stock of the internet world these days, and I've been a member for 24 years!

Again - please put Spam back like it was - so I can open links. At the very least, if I say it is not spam, move it to New Mail, not Old Mail. I am not longer able to unsubscribe from Spam mailings without moving them or read the articles to see if it is something I want to keep getting. Your change has really complicated things.

Bring back the old handling of SPAM! I can no longer unsubscribe or read something before I decide because you disabled the links. If I move them out of SPAM they go to 'old' and can be hard to find. You are helping the people sending SPAM!

I get a lot of JUNK emails with over a hundred random characters. A simple way to bock them would be a Filter that Limits the number of characters in email. I would chose the number 40.

Agree. The last two months it is non stop despite adding email blocks. Can no longer block certain keywords.

I'm careful and delete old emails in INBOX, SENT & SPAM folders but when I delete Spam from my INBOX or SPAM folders,I never expect to see them continually accumulated in the "Recently Delted" folder - AND NEVER AUTOMATICALLY deleted after a short period time.
AOL FROZE and LOCKED up when I went to find an accidentally deleted email. I found EVERYTHING for the last 6 years clogging AOL emails!!!!
PLEASE!! AUTO DELETE anything in that folder after 30 days or SEND WARNINGS Before AOL locks up on that Fat Berg

This is AT LEAST my 3rd request. Appreciate you returning our spam controls BUT I cannot add any new items to the list because there is no "save" button to save the additions. You can type the additions in but, as soon as you leave the Spam Control menu, the additions are deleted. So, what good does the Spam Control list do if you cannot make any additions? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE US A "SAVE" BUTTON AGAIN!!!!!

Be able to "permanently delete" trash without selecting as I can "delete all" spam without selecting

Something changed. Previously, deleting e-mail from the Spam folder was permanent, no back up anywhere (a 1-step method). Now, e-mail deleted from the Spam folder goes into the Recently Deleted Folder where you have to then permanently delete it (a 2-step method). Bring back the old 1-step way.

I have to open a spam e-mail and then right click on senders address and view nasty photos to send to block list. Why don' t you have a selection at the bottom of new and spammed page the option to send it to block like you have for sending to spam?
