Ever since I went to AOL Desktop Gold I'm getting a lot of ad e-mails and **** e-mails and I'm not very happy about it!!

Ever since I went to AOL Desktop Gold I'm getting a lot of ad e-mails and **** e-mails and I'm not very happy about it, especially since I'm paying you. Also, there's no easy way to block these sites without opening the e-mail. Please respond with a solution.

The best way to resolve this is to mark the emails as “Spam”, that way you can train the spam filter to better identify unwanted emails in the future. You can also block specific senders by going to the Mail menu on the top left, and selecting “Block Unwanted Mail” from the drop-down menu, then adding the senders emails address in the Sender Filter’s block list.

    get rid of the spam folders iam getting to much spam daily and very tired of it

  • Dwight commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a limit to how much spam I can block? I've recently added a couple of persistent addresses to my blocked list, but they are still coming through. Help!

  • RONALD FLORA commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL -- are you even listening? What are you planning to do about this? And don't say "call tech support". That doesn't help. Yesterday I had over 30 SPAM emails. Do something!!!

  • IMOGENE G. BOSEMAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Improve on the SPAM settings...I get between 35 and 50 pieces of SPAM daily!!!!!

    My complaint is about MAIL/SPAM. I see that this issue is rated #1, and this is for the specific reason that it is NOT just "I" having this uptick of SPAM emails. I called and talked to a Tech. Support associate less than a week ago. It seems strange to me after talking to a tech. support associate that those number of SPAM emails drastically increased from two or three a day, to at LEAST thirty (30) per day. Is there an "insider" at the AOL server, deliberately playing with our MAIL INBOX/SPAM folder. It takes ONLY one "insider" at the AOL server to ramp up our receiving spam emails. The solution I was given was to change mt password, which I have done repeatedly ad nauseam !!! To me, this is an internal issue with some demented AOL associate doing this on a regular basis on many paying AOL membership people.
    I've talked with several Technical Support people over the past six months to a year. And, it seems very strange to me, that those SPAM emails increase drastically after an AOL technical support associate takes remote access to my computer by utilizing BOMGAR !!! WHY?!?!
    I am NOT making this up, AOL. AOL is having a problem that many paying AOL members are having on a daily basis.
    FIX THIS ISSUE NOW, TODAY ......... PLEASE !!!!!!

    Up to 27 spam emails since last night. I'm getting more and more every day!!!

  • RONALD FLORA commented  ·   ·  Report

    No 2 have the same address, so it's difficult to add them to my "blocked" list. AOL -- What can you do about this?

  • RONALD FLORA commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL -- You responded to a previous complaint about all the spam emails to add the addresses to Block Unwanted Mail. That's not possible to do when they all have a different address. I am getting more and more every day. Can't you do anything?

  • s commented  ·   ·  Report

    Same here. It's out of control the last week.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Many of the SPAM emails either incorporate my email handle as the sender OR on the subject line. How is this happening?

  • Pat commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have been getting spam emails from other countries, UK, India, Germany. Verizon should be blocking these from coming through. Should be an easier way to block them instead of typing in each email address.

  • james reese commented  ·   ·  Report

    you need to check out this e-mail I got, it concerns me alot, and I have Mcafee, and other securty please respond like I said I'm concerned

  • Lynn Miller commented  ·   ·  Report

  • PAT CIPOLLA commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's now been 2 years ...ever since AOL GOLD started...This mail system flat sucks ....SPAM GOING TO INBOX IS JUST RIDICULOUS

  • PAT CIPOLLA commented  ·   ·  Report

    BRING BACK OLD AOL.....NEW ONE ISN'T WORTH A ****

  • s commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ditto. Spam is out of control lately.

  • Eddie commented  ·   ·  Report

    I started using your spam blocker two weeks ago. Now I get 25 or more at a time, over 100 a day all from different urls. I can't block every one. Can't you stop this ***?
