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

Is AOL TRYING to chase away paying customers? Restore the mail controls or do your job and stop the ridiculous influx of spam from "webserve" and "Info".

I.d like to know exactly why I should continue as a paid subscriber when it seems to be not much more than free AOL// And now I see that you are doing away with the portfolio feature.

Reinstall the wildcard option for blocking spam! And the rest of the anti-spam email filtering tools you removed! Spam is getting worse and worse and you have taken away the primary tools to block it. I want the E-mail tools returned to what they were when you sold my my subscription otherwise it isn't worth paying for anymore and I'll cancel my paid account.

Spam volume is escalating and the current SPAM control for blocking addresses is worthless. I get SPAM from HUNDREDS of sources. I need to be able to block by content/word as in previous versions of AOL. Recently, more SPAM started going into the New Mail folder so I'm getting excessive amounts there and hardly any in the SPAM folder. Plus, there is still an excessive amount of screen distortion when I access AOL Gold on my Windows 10 Asus. Expected a bug fix by now.

I agree with all of them - put the spam setting back to what they used to be - you don't catch any of them anymore - all other services catch them before they get to our e-mail box-- Webservice @ and info@ are they worst - hundreds of them every day - there is no way anyone of us can add all those as a block. Someone who doesn't use AOL mail, had a better idea and broke the whole thing -- since Verizon took over and has decided to make AOL work like a cell phone, everything has gone to ____.

if AOL GOLD is to be a platform for spam advertisers--stop charging us for AOL GOLD--your advertisers can be your sole source of income.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AOL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS PAYING CUSTOMERS, OBVIOUSLY.

It is unacceptable that we have to "block unwanted email" every time we receive a spam message. Restore the old spam settings ASAP!

I have never gotten as much spam as recently in all the time I have been using AOL. I get tons of spam from some spammer that starts out webservice. every day, As soon as I block one spammer, another takes its place...and often the block does not even work. Now that I am a paying customer of AOL, I expect AOL to do a better job of identifying and eliminating all this spam mail. Somebody in your company needs to do a lot of work on this if you want to retain your customers.

Put mail back to previous, now you have to handle all emails four times. Mail previously deleted both for regular and spam has to be handled four times delete and delete again. Too cumbersome
