Revert to allowing individual emails open at same time onscreen rather than as tabs in one box
The previous protocol allowed one to have multiple emails open on screen simultaneously and to order them (overlapping) as needed, and in a way that allowed subject-line/date/etc to be visible and findable.
The new protocol of all open emails existing simply as tabs in a single box is counterproductive. You can't change the order or see the subject, so useless for easy toggling. -
Link Buttons Disabled When Forwarding an Email to Yourself
I've reported this issue many times and still no fix or response. When forwarding an email to yourself, for example an Amazon shipping confirmation email that has the yellow "Track Package" button in the body of the email, AOL mail is stripping the links' functionality.

RE: GOLD AOL Why in the world would I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category???
If I have 50 emails in the "New" category and 428 emails in the "Inbox" category what is the point. The "Inbox" has not only the "New" but it also has items I have deleted. If I deleted items, I would think those should be in the "Deleted" area...not in a unnecessary category titled "Inbox". Get ride of Inbox and just have New, Deleted, Spam, etc. The "Inbox" is not necessary if there is New and Deleted.

ads
Advertisement for discount on Pizza ....and low and behold there is a picture under the advertisement of a man on the toilet with a horrible look on his face. Why should I have to look at that!? I am sure your Pizza advertisers would be thrilled to see their product with this other ad. How sick is that...disgusting....please be more judicious in pairing ads.

VIEWS FOLDER
PLEASE ALLOW US TO MOVE OR DELETE THE NEW "VIEWS" folder that's now appearing in our FOLDER list. It's not useful when people are already using folders to manage their mail. It's cumbersome in that it has to be closed whenever logging into AOL.

window in "Write" email no longer is functioning as it should
The "write" window's text (at my normal size: Tahoma 12pt is no longer readable. the text is tiny and so is the preassigned text in the write window itself and nothing the AOL remote technician has been able to help. She wanted me to change the size/resolution of my computer screen, but I do not want to -- because it is at it's recommended settings

AOL's email ***** up
Your new app for phones is disgusting. Go back to the old app that does not lead the person a news feed and other ****. When someone is on their phone they wish to check their email, not see your news feeds. Or at least on the new app give the user the ability to direct the opening page so they don't have to go through the news page. I know that it is probably a money making issue for AOL but please have some concern for the folks that use the app.

The updated revision of AOL has some terrible changes
When responding to an email the FONT is NOT CLEAR like before ...
It is NOT the FONT that I choose to reply....
The Tech stated that it was changed by the UPDATE ....
This is NOT satisfactory and needs to be reversed to a clearer FONT.In addition .... when deleting an email the response is another windows asking if I want to delete the the email ..... THIS IS REDUNDANT .....
The tech stated this was changed with the updated version ....
PLEASE REVERSE THE CHANGES .....DO NOT LIKE THE CHANGES BECAUSE IT TAKE EXTRA CLICKS AND WASTING…

SPAM folder improvement!
Indicate how many emails are in the SPAM folder. Would prevent the user from having to constantly check the SPAM folder for content!

lmprovements needed in steps to clear out old messages
1) I have too many saved messages in my Old and Sent Folders.
2) The first improvement is to give AOL customers the option to sort by To/From and within that grouping by DATE
3) The second improvement is to allow AOL customers to go back to where they were in the list of messages under review-NOT THE TOP of the List.What will it take for AOL to make these improvements?

AOL's Algorithm is Still Highly Inadequate
I again had a comment that AOL said has to be reviewed. How many times are you flagging because of a word but is a comment that intended to not be negative except in calling a spade a spade. Words need to be examined based on content in which they are used. If your using AI, you can enhance your algorithm almost without limits. If AI can be used in helping to predict complex areas of inquiries, your algorithm can do better! ! !

Double Line Spacing
When I compose an email and send it, sometimes the lines get double spaced on the "sent" email. This has only started happening in the May/June 2023 time frame. Please correct this issue. I have contacted AOL Tech Support, and they have not been able to help me. Please Help!
This is often caused when copying and pasting from applications like MS Word etc.. These applications often contain invisible code that when copied results in double spacing and other odd behaviors.

Move the recently deleted button away from the mail button to prevent confusion as to which screen you are on.

Why is it all of a sudden taking so long for an email to delete?
Why is "delete" taking twice as long as it used to? I click to delete an email and there is a wait time now.

Please Bring Back Ad-Free Paid Option for Desktop Gold
Back when AOL still offered Advantage Plans, there was a little-known bolt-on called "Ad-Free Desktop Gold". It was unrelated to the Ad-Free Mail that works to remove ads from webmail. Since the new plans rolled out, there is no way for a Desktop Gold member to pay for having no ads in their Desktop Gold client. I've tried each Premium plan to test this, and I've spoken with Support - they have confirmed what I'm saying is true. If AOL could please bring back the Ad-Free option for Desktop Gold, I'd buy it tomorrow! Thanks :)

Desktop Gold Mail
Why do you have to keep fixing things that aren't broke. Can no longer use previous or next when reading mail. Have to close out the individual mail and then click on the next one. When you close an individual mail it goes automatically into old mail. Please fix this problem.
