Tell us how we can improve your AOL Desktop Gold experience.

← AOL Desktop Gold

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 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.

  • BOB KRAMPETZ commented  ·   ·  Report

    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

    duh read above message !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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!!!!!

    when I try to block spam address, i get Code ET-5003

  • Patricia Carlos commented  ·   ·  Report

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

  • DHM commented  ·   ·  Report

    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?

  • s commented  ·   ·  Report

    Same here. Last few months went from no spam to wasting so much time everyday adding names to block list. Something changed. Unable to block emails with certain words like "Welcome" or "Noreply". Something changed and not for the better.

  • Mark commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why am I still getting emails from spam/scam addresses that I already have blocked in my spam controls ???

  • CARY PEPPER commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am unable to add the address noreply+noreply@*.info
    to my Spam Control.
    How do I fix this?

  • MICHAEL GLUHANICH commented  ·   ·  Report

    I don't understand why AOL can not permanently block all emails that begin with "noreply+noreply" (not just put them in the spam folder)

  • John Lehman commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow 40/50 spam emails a day using the same names like WHY, submit, and noreplay before the @. Need a way to be able to block them all.
    WHY@* etc.

  • PAT CIPOLLA commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ever since AOL GOLD, this AOL isn't worth a ****......bring back old AOL

  • PAT CIPOLLA commented  ·   ·  Report

    PUT **** SPAM in the SPAM area...NOT in my INBOX

  • George commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just want to pass on a compliment for a change. My Spam Filter is working great. It is catching all the email I tag as Spam and continues to catch it in the future. The filter is also catching lots of stuff before I even get it. It is very accurate. Nice work.

    Any item we delete from spam should be blocked automatically.

  • WALLACE BUCKLEW commented  ·   ·  Report

    I had over 100 spam mails yesterday. I select delete all and they all then go to recently deleted folder. Then I have to delete all of then individually. Why!!!! I guess I will have to get rid of aol and go to another email carrier??

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am receiving a lot of spam from one domain: .HOST and after calling AOL tech support, they say that there is nothing they can do... They messages/emails have already been identified as spam...so these emails from Domain HOST have already been ID as spam...
    There should be a method to stop ALL EMAIL FROM THIS DOMAIN: HOST
