PUTTING AOL MAIL IN SPAM FOLDER
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH "AOL" NOW ?????? WHY ARE U PUTTING MY "AOL" MAIL IN THE "SPAM FOLDER" ???????? ARE YOU ALL GOING CRAZY AGAIN ????????????????????????????
The best way to resolve this is to mark the emails as “Not Spam”, that way you can train the spam filter to better identify important emails in the future. Also if you use a mobile device or email client to access your mail over IMAP, please check the Spam filters in that application, to make sure it’s not marking important emails as spam.

AOL Log in issue
Whenever we travel to Scotland, I am always having an issue with my
Password and a lot of changes is happening on my account last week of August. It's very inconvenient. Please get a fix on this as soon as possible for us to stay longer on AOLYour IP address is your location online and each session should start with the same few sets of numbers. Click any recent activity entry to view its IP address as well as the date and time it was collected. If one is drastically different from the others, remove it and change your password. Be aware that there are some legitimate reasons why your history can show unfamiliar locations, such as your mobile or AOL Gold software detecting the wrong location or Internet provider using a proxy server.

Need to be able to see the FULL email address to determine if it is SPAM or not
The shortened email address is helpful but does not allow me to see if it is spam or not.
Also the actual email date is more helpful than "YESTERDAY" or the time today.
I would like to be able to copy addresses out of the email bar when I send them.In order to see the entire email, you can enlarge the From column, by dragging the line between the From and the Subject columns.

delete or move multiple messages
using the shift delete keys are not functional. Your ASSumption is that the e-mails are consecutive within the in-box. a LARGE majority of the time e-mails to be deleted OR moved are scattered throughout e-mail. in the prior AOL version ( which I am told is no longer available) each e-mail had a box you could check so you could move or delete multiple e-mails at one time regardless of their location within new mail ( old mail etc.). Not having that functionality is a failure on AOL's part to properly vet and test the product. A patch needs to…
In order to select multiple non-consecutive emails, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard while clicking on each email you want to select from your Inbox (or other mail folders). When you are done selecting the emails, release the CTRL key, then you can delete or move the emails selected.

Autofill addressing prevents typing new addresses.
Addressing E-mail does not allow me to enter https://..... without automatically inserting the wrong address from stored addresses. I am trying to send a message to Microsoft billinginfo and cannot do it. Very frustrating. Please fix the bug.
The https:// prefix is a part of a web address, and is used only when accessing web-sites (is not used in email addresses). Please check the correct email address before sending the email.

Email addresses
when putting in an address,all prior versions of AOL, the address would be saved. Then it would only require a few letters to be recalled. Now it does nothing. You have to continue to memorize every email address. What was wrong with 9.7. Can we not have a better version than Gold?
Hey,
Thanks for reaching out. As long as a contact is saved, their email address should populate as an option in a dropdown box as you start typing it. More information about adding email recipients to your messages can be located here: https://help.aol.com/articles/add-remove-cc-and-bcc-recipients-to-an-email-in-aol-desktop-gold
We hope this helps clarify the situation.
Sincerely,

Feedback for unread and read emails
I like for the listing on the "New Emails" list be the following way:
The emails on the list that I've not read to be in bold type; and
The emails on the "New" list that I've read and clicked to be listed as "unread" to be in the light type.
This makes me able to see at with only a quick glance if I've already read it but still wanted it in the "New" list.
Due to recent adjustments to the AOL Mail platform, this feature is no
longer available. I apologize for the inconvenience. -

Permanently delete all trashed emails all at one time

Select one email from the list, and press CTRL+A to highlight all of them
or choose ‘Select All’ from the Edit menu then press Permanently Delete. -
