What happened to being able to send BCC bulk emails to a list of emails for my group that meets each week. We have always been able to send
What happened to being able to send BCC bulk emails to a list of emails for my group that meets each week. We have always been able to send to our entire email list of group attendees. But today I am trying to do this for my co-leader, and received an undeliverable mail notice from the postmaster...though I did receive a sent email notice from AOL showing that the email with all BCC in bulk were sent! Then after sending and receiving the sent mail notice, I received two minutes later the Undeliverable mail email from postmaster@pdes-usa.com saying:
User mailbox…Hello there, for more information about our bulk mail policy, please check the following article: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-limits-on-sending-bulk-mail
Regarding the issue you are experiencing, this might not be related to the fact that you have sent a bulk email. The bounce-back error you provided us, mentions a problem with the @pdes-usa.com recipient’s mailbox (the type of problem that their email provider will have to resolve).
When you receive an email with a bounce-back error message, it means that AOL was not able to deliver your email, or that the recipient domain rejected your message.
If you continue to receive a bounce-back error after sending mail, please call us at 1-888-265-3733, and one of our technicians can analyze the error and provide you information about why the message could not be delivered.

Spam box shows nonexistant e-mail
My SPAM folder always shows 4 more pieces of SPAM than are actually in the folder. For example, when reading my e-mail the link at the bottom shows 14 pieces of SPAM. Open the folder, you see just 10 pieces of SPAM. The link shows 4 pieces of SPAM but open the folder and there are 0 pieces of SPAM. What's up with that? How do I fix it?
Try refreshing the mailbox. Click on the Mail option on the top of the desktop screen and select Refresh Mailbox from the drop-down menu.
If the issue persists please call the AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733 in order to have one of our technical support agents assist you further.

NOTIFY CUSTOMERS WHERE AOL MAIL IS SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER
When one buys a new computer any AOL mail is saved on your existing PC, it is lost due to the fact that AOL’s Programmers failed to allow you to pick a folder to save those e-mails in so that you can easily transfer those folders to your new computer. AOL wants to charge for technical support to help you with moving the files to the new computer when all AOL customers should be able to do it easily. Just one more bad problem with AOL GOLD Desktop. I do not expect to pay a dime for AOL technical support…
