  1. How do I delete email headers & footers when printing?

    If I don't want email headers and footers to appear on printed email, how do I turn this feature off by default? The workaround in print preview has an easy check the box option, but only for that particular email.

  2. Saving individual mail folders in Gold

    Bring back the old way of saving mail folders in your Personal Filing Cabinet like it has been since the beginning of AOL - yes I have been a paying member since the day it started and with Gold can no longer save the individual folders in the Mail to another location like a DVD or memory stick. These folders get way too big and non-manageable over time
    If you right click on a saved mail folder now in Gold it says :"Save Folder As" - like it always has - but when you click on it nothing happens.

  3. Buttons are too close to the sliding/scroll bar

    Member is having a hard time with navigating through the email window because the scroll bar is way too close to the buttons. As a consequence, the Report Spam button is occasionally activated and in one case caused the member to be unsubscribed to an organization in which he is on the Steering Committee.

  6. Advertisements fill empty Spam, Sent and Old Mail box's

    Seems like every time there is an Windows update something in AOL goes wrong or unusual.

    My latest issue is that when the Spam Mail, Sent Mail or Old Mail box's are cleared an Advertisement is inserted to the empty box.

    If I leave one email in any of these the advertisement is not inserted.

    Does anyone see the absurdity of an advertisement being put there?
    This is probably just an over site that was not realized by the programmer by making an advertisement fill blank spots.

    Please make all advertisements in the email system go away. That should fix…

  9. there needs to be a way to save multiple emails, as a group to a flash drive or hard copy

    there needs to be a way to select multiple emails, and save them all as individual files, to a flash drive, hard drive, etc so they can be used/viewed individually... OFF SITE from AOL or required internet access.

    I have a situation where I need to make a copy of 249 emails and present them all, as separate, electronic files, as evidence in a court case. All 249 emails are saved - on AOL, in the PFC, and accessible... but only through internet access. I need to submit a flash drive to the court with all of the files, as…

  10. forward mail

    I would like to be able to forward all of my mail to another email address for answering while I am away. But all I can do is use an auto responder. There should be a an email setting of "forward all mail to: [enter an email address]" with an option to choose "until revoked" or for "X" number of days.

  14. Email "Saved on my PC".

    PLEASE I ASK FOR THE 10th TIME....give us a side bar to quickly access the folder when we are saving an email to "Saved On My PC". I have hundreds of email folders saved on my PC. Having to hold the ARROW, at the bottom of the folder listing until you get to the folder you want is SO ANNOYING AND TIME CONSUMING.

    There is a side bar when I am looking for a particular email in a folder in the Saved on my PC and that is productive...so please make it easier and productive to Save an Email to…

    For what we pay a month for AOL Gold, how long are we going to have to continuing deleting emails twice? Why did you change it. If I didn't want to cancel the email in the first place, I wouldn't cancel it.

  19. allow spelling changes within spell check.

    after generating an email, one uses aol spell check and comes across a misspelled word-
    if the correct word is not in the suggested list, one must close spell check and manually correct the spelling in the email.
    spell check should allow for changes to be made dynamically in the box where the misspelled word shows up.
