  5. My email box is going hey wire....

    When I read an email and then mark it unread it would stay in fine print, that way I knew that I had looked at it. Now when I open an email and mark it unread, it goes back to bold like I have never opened it, so now I have a box full of what looks like to me, emails that I have never looked at and it has screwed up my entire system. Emails that I had a handle on and now I can not tell what is what anymore and it looks to me like I need…

  6. Mail I have read is staying in my New mail folder instead of just the IN or Old mail folders as it did until 2 days ago.

    Mail I have read is staying in my "New"mail folder instead of moving to the "IN" or "Old" mail folders upon closing Mail on the AOL Desktop Gold -- this just started happening 8/17/2020. Was there an update that caused this?

  8. font

    There is a problem with the font and it must be repaired. It does not change including incoming emails. The computer is not allowing me to choose the font of my choice. This is NOT an idea, it is a problem with a complaint.

  11. mail screen clutter

    When I read and close an e-mail, I have to close out of mail completely and get back in to read another e-mail. If I don't, although the e-mail I'm closing does go away, it is replaced by solid blue covering the rest of the mailbox. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH MY GOOGLE MAIL ACCOUNT or any other application.

  12. Why can I only see a limited number of the emails in my inbox?

    Desktop Gold will only let me view a very limited number of new and old emails, though I have many more. I have to go to Google and aol.com to read and deal with the rest. This is annoying, as I am paying a monthly fee for more convenience and help.

  13. Big Graphic change in Email

    As a member of several graphic groups, we have always been able to see all graphics included in the email. Now all of a sudden you have completely changed it. As usual without a warning or explanation, you are making us work much harder and take extra steps!!! Why is it that it appears to be your goal to take all the good and popular things we've enjoyed for years away and make things so difficult..... WHY???
    can't you return the way we showed our graphics just a week ago??

  20. I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing.

    I cannot view my email or spam in AOL Gold. I have run iexplore which has worked in the past , but now it does nothing. I have to get my email via my phone, but now I am getting messages from AOL that may not work after October and want me to do some app upgrade on my android to continue, I pay 16.99 per month for your service but only use it for mail.It may be better if I go to gmail for free.
