Ads
I see you've made the ads side bar larger with no way to make it smaller, only to reduce the size of my email space. This is unconscionable.? Soon it will just be big ads and a little space to read our emails. Plus we can't eliminate these ads. Any ideas how to keep this decades long time client?

Multiple Large Ads to the Right of Every E-Mail
AOL has suddenly forced not one, not two, but MULTIPLE ads to the right of each e-mail panel—and you made them considerably larger as well—to the point that all e-mails are now of a minuscule size.
As I've said before, you can never have too many ads—and as large as you can possibly make them—right, AOL?
Why don't you just come right out and say it? You want to get rid of all your long-time loyal customers and become exclusively a huge ad platform. Trouble is, you won't have anyone left to whom to advertise.
Ever think of that, AOL?

What am I paying a monthly fee for when I get over 100 spam mails a day with no way to block them?
Posting for this same subject has been going on since at least 2019. Even if we could block them (AOL makes certain we cannot) it would show AOL cared about customers. I pay a monthly fee so am a customer. If you right click to block AOL tells you to wait five minutes. That is a joke, try it. If you click spam to send it there then you have about 200 a day to delete or keep and add another 100 or so every day. Time to get qualified technical support or give the ones you have permission to…

CompuServe Gold sounds
It would be great to have the CompuServe welcome/gotmail/goodbye sounds on the CompuServe Gold client instead of the AOL sounds.
I have the sound files from a CompuServe 2000 install if you need them.

Add an Update Password Feature
The convenience of the Password saving feature is marred by our inability to change the password when necessary. I just got an alert about a Google data breach and had to change that password. AOL refuses to allow the change in the Browsers' Password manager's box. Data breeches are now almost a monthly event, so this feature would be a great addition.
22nd rankedWe are working to improve our password manager and the functionality to updates passwords etc.

Fix the celebrity voices that haven't been working for a month!
Fix the celebrity voices that haven't been working for a month!
22nd rankedWe have investigated this issue and are not able to reproduce any problems with the celebrity voices on AOL Desktop Gold. Please consider uninstalling your AOL Desktop Gold from the Add/Remove programs function. Then re-install AOL Desktop Gold.
In some cases, we have seen that Anti-virus software sometimes removes the sound files from the machine.
Please also use the Report a Bug feature from the Help menu of AOL Desktop Gold if you continue to see this issue after installing new. This will send us critical information that we can use to determine the cause of the issue.

Download Time
The download manager is great. However, could you update it to say how long it would take to download a file that is in the process of downloading?
