  2. 2402 Gold added a NEW 'Write Mail Editor' - that doesn't work

    "Write Mail Editor" Icon came in with the latest Gold update, 2402.

    If clicked, it gives an error msg of:
    Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol
    "waol-embed" does not have a registered program

    And sure enough, the URL in Properties has:
    waol-embed://aoldesktop.htmlresources.zip/StartEditor.html?prefix=In%20a%20message%20dated%2009%2f04%2f19%2009%3a29%3a53%20AM%20Pacific%20Standard%20Time%2c%20copious%2egarden%40gmail%2ecom%20writes%3a&message=%3cimg%20style%3d%22visibility%3avisible%3bborder%3a%201px%20solid%20%23DADAD6%3b%20cursor%3a%20pointer%3b%20margin%2dbottom%3a%2030px%3b%22%20filename%3d%22IMG%5f7499%2eJPG%22%20partid%3d%222%22%20class%3d%22AOLAttachedImage%22%20src%3d%22https%3a%2f%2frpc%2email%2eaol%2ecom%2fwebmail%2fgetPart%3fuid%3dAK2ZkWEkOslfXW%5fmgQL9oPnrFUU%26amp%3bpartId%3d2%26amp%3bsaveAs%3dIMG%5f7499%2eJPG%26amp%3bscope%3dDWEB%22%3e&message=%3cimg%20style%3d%22visibility%3avisible%3bborder%3a%201px%20solid%20%23DADAD6%3b%20cursor%3a%20pointer%3b%20margin%2dbottom%3a%2030px%3b%22%20filename%3d%22IMG%5f7499%2eJPG%22%20partid%3d%222%22%20class%3d%22AOLAttachedImage%22%20src%3d%22https%3a%2f%2frpc%2email%2eaol%2ecom%2fwebmail%2fgetPart%3fuid%3dAK2ZkWEkOslfXW%5fmgQL9oPnrFUU%26amp%3bpartId%3d2%26amp%3bsaveAs%3dIMG%5f7499%2eJPG%26amp%3bscope%3dDWEB%22%3e&quote=False&reedit=False&signature=&isMailto=False&fontCSS=font%2dfamily%3a%20%22comic%20sans%20ms%22%2c%20sans%2dserif%3b%20font%2dsize%3a%2016px%3b%20font%2dstyle%3a%20normal%3b%20font%2dweight%3a%20400%3b%20color%3a%20rgb%280%2c%200%2c%200%29%3b%20background%2dcolor%3a%20rgb%28255%2c%20255%2c%20255%29%3b&extras

  4. Emails: Personal File Cabinet Folders Disappeared! HELP!

    PFC folders: a random selection of about half of my AOL GOLD email folders mysteriously disappeared. The AOL Service Technician advised "not stored anywhere; no way to retrieve". How can this be possible?!
    I lost dozens of old emails with critical information.
    Per an Internet search, this has happened to others within the past 6 months, and has been reported to AOL by others.

    Have the emails simply vanished? They never even turned up in my trash. I want them back!!

  6. Games, we want games, not more ads.

    Fix games. Either can't get on or if i do and am playing a game, it stops.
    because something else is loading, Games should be working as they are part of your plan.

  7. Why

    Why when I send someone an Email with a picture and I look at my sent mail all I get is a blank screen with a tiny box in the upper left that can't be opened or expanded? It didn't used to do that. Extremely annoying.

  14. The New Way for AOL

    AOL needs to figure out why it is a failing company. It is greedy and puts its needs above those of its long suffering customers. After 30 years of being an AOL member they freeze my Desk Top for $3 casing me to loose all the documents I was working on. Shame on you AOL. You deserve to fail. My idea is you go into receivership and let someone who can run a company take over for the benefit of the investors and the customers.

  16. AOL Gold Desktop will not let me save my passwords. I have to enter my passwords each and everytime I sign-on. This just started a day ago.

    Suddenly over night. AOL Gold desktop makes me sign-in with my password. It will not let me save the password making it easier to sign-in each time.

  17. AOL Desktop Gold not displaying emails

    Hi AOL Support

    I have a user trying to use AOL Desktop Gold from behind an enterprise grade firewall. I need to know the specific ports this program uses to. I reinstalled Flash, DotNET, Browser updates and the AOL Desktop Gold Program but the program still does not display emails. I called tech support an spoke with Gabriel and he could not answer this question and said this was the only way I would be able to get this information. How does your technical support group not have access to this type of information?

  18. Technical support issues re: email

    For the last couple of weeks, almost all of my email is going directly to spam. I've checked every 'settings' and 'email' option available to make sure I have no one blocked, but it still goes to email, EVEN AFTER I have clicked on each entry to say "This is not spam." I've 'chatted' with tech support twice - no luck. I've also called aol twice,
    no luck, even tho one of those calls was to a 'higher level' of tech support. Now what do I do?
