  2. Blocking Spam Domains

    We need the ability to block more than three Spam domains, after blocking the current offending spam domains, the old ones that were unblocked come back. Ten domains to block in Spam would be good.

  3. Compact email database

    Hello,
    Please bring back the compact email database feature. The compact email database was available several years ago, but now it is gone. This feature allowed me to reduce the size of my email database and speed up my AOL.
    Thank you

  4. AOL Comment Screening Algorithm is rejecting critical comments relative to the subject of the AOL event reported - Suicide of a 17 Year Old

    Your AOL comment screening algorithm is still screening for key words that are in the article AOL is reporting. When are you all going to fix that!!! The subject matter requires serious discussions and feedback. I'm assuming the algorithm picked out suicide in my comments!!! Because the subject of the article is suicide, any discussions might include that word!!! At worst, the algorithm should have made the comment subject to review!!! This is serious because, if you didn't know, there is a suicide epidemic in this country. You really need to fix this!!!

  7. I have used

    I have used AOL for many, many years but I'm about to end that relationship. They have now begun to censor what emails I can open and what I cannot. That is NOT their right. Just because the emails are from a far right, conservative sender, it will not open and I have an error message. Enough of that nonsense! I pay a lot of money to use your services, but that does not include censoring my mail

  8. See complete email address from sender

    Bring back the ability to see the complete email address of a sender so that you don't have to open the email to see who it's from. Revealing the sender's entire email address by hovering the cursor over it is a VITAL security feature!

  9. Email automatically going to "old email" while reading it

    When I open up an email and while I'm reading it the email is automatically sent to "old email". There are times when I want to keep that email as "unread". I don't like that it automatically goes to "old email" and then I have to go and find that email in "old email" and then mark it as "unread". I want to decide where it should go. It used to be that after you read an email and logged out of email, it was then that the emails would go to "unread". Please bring that back. If I have…

  13. mail

    AOL Gold Mail - you've changed the access to cc: and bcc: in write mail. Please restore the version that displays the cc: always WITHOUT requiring the click on th elittle (little seen) box at the upper right of "write mail".

    It would be VERY HELPFUL if AOL would send a "Heads-Up_ to users when feature changes are made. As is we have to stumble across or Search for them on our own. Be more Customer Sensitive.

  19. Add send only address option to Desktop Gold

    AOL WebMail has an option to set "send from" with addresses other than @aol.com.
    Since we are paying for Desktop Gold, we should be getting all the features of the free service.

  20. Worthless "View" section in mail

    The "Views" feature is not helpful and automatically filters items that I do not wish to have in multiple places. The most critical issue is the "subscription" area which automatically saves the companies that contact me. The "unsubscribe" feature does not work, therefore I would have to contact each company individually which is very time consuming. I do not like the "View" feature for any function.
