  2. filter

    I need to set a folder for email containing the words "payment receipt". The filter system will not allow a two word filter criteria. Only emails with the exact words "payment receipt" need to be filtered, but your filter system will not allow me to use two words. If I use "payment" all emails with the word payment will be captured, even the ones similar to "amazon payment receipt" would be trashed. That is not acceptable. I need to be able to receive legitimate payment receipt emails so your filter system is not effective for my needs. Would you please…

  3. REMOVE THE NEW UPDATE ON THE E-MAIL PAGE (Delete,Mark as read & Report to spam)

    The most resent update DELETE, MARK AS READ AND REPORT SPAN on the new E-mail page is the worst I ever seen in more than 25 years as a member of AOL. I have been deleting and reported e-mails to spam by accident. I am kindly asking you to remove that option ASAP. It makes me very unhappy.

  4. Unhappy with new email update

    On 6/16/21 I saw a new light blue bar appear in my emails which moves up and down whenever I move. It's annoying and serves no purpose. I called AOL and was told it's a new update and they are receiving many calls from users complaining about it. I hate this new feature and want it eliminated.

  5. My email is not saving to both computer folder and AOL web side

    If I save an email to an email folder on my laptop computer it saves and then closes itself and goes to the email trash can. This means anything opened and saved cannot be seen on the web side of the AOL email from other devices like my phone. This is very very bad. I spoke with Paul at AOL and I was told they are opening a tech ticket and will respond to me with more info once they know what the problem is.

  8. sending problem

    Initially the issue is that an email with a attachment (MP3) that had 13 valid cell numbers that is being sent out through vzwpix.com (internet for sounds) did not sent out totally getting 7 undeliverables that do not tie back to the cell. My complaint is that i just wasted my time with tech support and wanted me to re send the email one by one to identify which cell number did not go through.

  9. Hi - I would like it if you could block emails with certain words in them.

    Please allow us to block emails with certain words in them. I get about 20 emails a day that are spa but I can't block them with keywords. The email addresses with todays tech have about 20 different character combos so you can't effectively block them by selecting just the email address.

  13. I would LOVE to see a new added catagory for email

    Now we have INBOX & SPAM that AOL places incoming emails.

    I would very much appreciate, and use a new one of (say) SUBSCRIPTIONS.

    I let many of my subscriptions go to the SPAM folder, and friends & family emails go to the INBOX. (I've noted that AOL 'remembers' which go where)
    The problem: One sender of a subscribed newsletter dropped me claiming I wasn't reading the newsletter, I WAS, but it was in SPAM and I'm wondering if they get notified when I labeled it SPAM to move them from the INBOX

    GMAIL, as you may know, has MANY…

  15. What do I have to pay in fee to get 36,678 incoming mails out of my computer

    My idea is to return to your old AOL mode hat keeps customer on your site. At the rate you are going - and I have been with you 1993 (count the years!!) there will be one more leaving, if not many more. Wake up your customer service has gone down the drain.

  16. Read Mail Retained in New Folder after Refresh

    I have been seeing an anomaly where some read emails are retained in the New folder even after the folder is refreshed. This seems to have been addressed twice in recent Desktop Gold version releases:

    Version 11.0.2978: "HOT Fixed! - return to New folder with read mail, read mail still shown".
    Version 11.0.3001: "HOT Fixed! - returning directly to new mail folder after close, mail marked as read still shown"

    I just closed and opened Desktop and it updated from version 2984 to 3001 and the bug remains. (For some reason the version did not update to version 3012 released…

  17. No mail lists, or emails show when first loaded.

    Just a Heads-Up to AOL programmers/testers

    This only happened two days, yesterday & today. The next time I will send a Bug Report.
    Both times, AOL appeared to come up as expected, but none of the mail folders or emails displayed. Waiting didn't help. I'd never seen this happen before.

    Both times, I KILLED the AOL Gold process's and restarted AOL, On both restarts the email folders and expected email immediately showed up..
