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.

The amount of spam I get has skyrocketed. I've AOL over 20 years, and I can block LESS spam than before. e-mail from legitamate senders I have had for years now winds up in spam. I am looking seriously into changing e-mail providers.

I am very unhappy with the recent removal of spam filters and without any notice of this change. I will seriously look at other email services and discontinue my AOL "service" which I have had for almost 30 years. Increasing price with decreasing service. What's with that?

My two biggest issues - first, SPAM!! I delete it every day, I have fixed my controls as much as I can to not receive ANY spam, however, every time I turn on AOL Gold, my spam folder is full of the same garbage from many of the same websites (all of which I've repeatedly deleted) is back again. We follow AOL's directions, which don't work. Now I am even beginning to receive important emails in my SPAM!!! Secondly, nearly all of your articles MAKE us go through your stupid slide shows to see what we'd opened the article to read. It's like a 'teaser', an AOL Dog & Pony Show that mostly cuts off in the middle of it, or has SO many pop-ups (which I've also tried to get rid of to no avail) that it makes it beyond annoying and sometimes even impossible to see the slides.

E-mail preferences need to have a "block all BUT named users" to receive mail to me. I tediously added hundreds of names over a twenty year period so that everything else would go to Spam. I easily sorted Spam by address, kept a few, then hit "Delete All." AOL wrongfully deleted this database, which was my personally-created intellectual property. This has further resulted in significant wasted effort required by me each day to review and delete Spam that used to be diverted to my Spam folder. The feature needs to be restored, and the data MUST be returned to me. The move to your new "platform" is a disaster. You must reverse course before you lose your last three customers.

Boy.... did you hit the nail on the head. I HATE the game playing of one month we have a feature and the next month.... we don't. I don't mind paying for something that is an IMPROVEMENT over the free version. THIS is not an improvement. I relied heavily on the status option on SENT mail. I needed that 'receipt'. It was not on AOL Gold, then it was and now it is gone again.
PUT THE **** THING BACK!!!!!!!!!!! -

Restore old settings AND address book. I don't know mail contacts addresses by heart!!!! This is also saying that my email is invalid!

I agree. It was so simple for 20 years--RECEIVE ONLY MAIL FROM ADDRESS BOOK NAMES INTO INBOX. ALL OTHERS WENT TO SPAM. NOW ALL INCOMING MAIL IS SPLIT BETWEEN INBOX AND SPAM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO, NO, NO CHOICE OF WHY. LET'S GET BACK TO SIMPLE--MAIL FROM NAMES IN ADDRESS BOOK GO TO INBOX. ALL OTHER MAIL GOES TO SPAM. HOW MUCH SIMPLER CAN IT BE???? AOL IS READY TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS--I AM BEGINNING TO LOOK AT GMAIL AND YAHOO, AFTER BEING WITH AOL FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

Fix the spam control! I will decide what is SPAM not AOL. AOL Gold is not Gold for sure. This is the worse programming AOL has ever done. What a mess you have made!

restore old settings. I can't stand that I get close to one hundred emails each day from unknowns that I have no interest in. Formerly I was able to get emails from only those in my address book and that is what I want

It would be REALLY nice, if AOL would simply block anything from (.uk). That's where just about all of my spam comes from. If they won't block it, let the user decide which addresses to just DELETE, not send to a SPAM folder. I like to keep things cleaned out but the (.uk) **** makes that almost impossible.

Please bring back the old spam settings! Over the last week I have been bombarded! I am getting close to 70+ a day! This is ridiculous! I have had my aol email address for over 20 years and this is how people know to reach me so I can't just change so easily. . . please make improvements!
