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'm getting over 100 spam emails everyday. This has to stop or I will be leaving AOL!

  • MARIANNE SPRINGER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Instead of having to enter a full email address to block in spam filter. Should allow use of key words or number to block for spam. A lot of spams have same initial aspect of address and then varied second part of address. If could block a key word or number series...would stop so much. Aware can put a filer in email...but that route doesn't allow to block completely, only allows to designate to a folder instead of being able to block completely.

    Should be wild card * to replace the before the lincon.

  • Doyce Dugan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Blocked mail needs to be able not only to block the original send but also the regenerated spam with just slightly changing the address. Example is ABC@85lincon.com to ABC@86lincon.com. The option that would work could be *@*lincon.com that you could manually enter.

    There is way too much spam getting in my mailbox. How can this be eliminated? Thank you

  • Dan Shier commented  ·   ·  Report

    Has AOL's SPAM filtering stopped? I've been receiving copious amounts of SPAM both in my Inbox and in my SPAM folder of late. Today alone, at this writing, there are 78 SPAM emails in the last 24 hours. I've taken to adding them to my blocked emails list, but it's just too overwhelming. I've been an AOL subscriber for decades and it's never been this bad. What's going on?

    I have set things so that I only get mail from those in my address book. Yet, I have received one mail that was not in my address book and I no receive mail I used to get daily from an address that is in my address book. What gives? My phone has a more efficient process for receiving calls and blocking calls than AOL has for spam email

  • PHILIP W SOULE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Help. I am deleting 20-50 SPAM emails a day. As a customer, I do not pay a monthly subscription to help you delete SPAM. AOL has done better in the past regarding bad email's. Especially the same addresses being delivered over & over to our mailboxes. Thanks and please help.

  • RICHARD Smith commented  ·   ·  Report

    Seems they use multiple email addresses so blocking them doesn't work. At one time I could block emails that contain certain words, "renter", for instance but can't do that now. AOL should bring back that option.

  • NOEL MURPHY commented  ·   ·  Report

    You do not seem to act on what your members want. I get hundreds of spam emails a day and send them to spam only to get more a few hours later. Why can I not copy more than one email to post to my blocked emails. This is very time consuming and I may look into another email account (not aol) just to get rid of them.

  • John Fergus commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am receiving 50 to 100 spam emails a day from overseas senders that make a small change to their to their name, so that I have to add every email they send to my block list. AOL needs to block these spam senders. It ruins the experience and I don't want to keep paying for this!

  • MATT MISIASZEK commented  ·   ·  Report

    My idea is to allow paying email customers to report spam email that fills up our mailboxes and AOL actually work at stopping the thousands of spam emails their paying customers receive every month.
    The current system has the customer doing all the work to block spam while (I assume) AOL profits from companies paying AOL to blast their customers with spam on a daily basis.

  • ROBERT SHARER commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've tried using the email filter function to block the countless emails I get from "116776969@addto cartnow-", but it doesn't stop them. I've tried sending the address to the block file, but who ever sends them just changes the last few characters. Why doesn't this function work?

  • dlswpfl dlswpfl commented  ·   ·  Report

    What is Aol doing about spam? I get 200-300 a day, it is as if you're doing nothing to battle i!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    same here.....has gotten worse lately All from an alleged email address ending in @theoffers1.com. Come on AOL block this spammer.

  • servicestinks commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get that many spam emails in less than 24 hours. If AoL ignores this problem, I would suggest that users seek other email providers.

  • RONALD K GRESS commented  ·   ·  Report

    The problem gets fixed or I quit an urge other to do the same.

  • RONALD K GRESS commented  ·   ·  Report

    Individual blocking of email is a slow process when one gets dozens of such emails each day. The ability to do a mass selection of emails that can then be sent to blocked email would be extremely helpful. Limiting the blocked list to only 1,000 addresses is too limiting when senders change their addresses randomly. This last point actually begs for a longer term solution. If I have to change email address to get away from this problem, I will go to another provider.

  • Bill GRACE commented  ·   ·  Report

    come AOL, getting NUMEROUS spam messages from the site 121294068@addtocart ***** this is getting really really bad, ca't understand why you cannot block massive messages to subcribers
