I just downloaded what I thought was the new AOL Desktop Gold, but I was in for a surprise. The Version No. is 11.2510, and it has the look of the AOL that I started with way back in the 1980's. Your latest update calls for a much higher version no., so I was wondering why the number I received is different.
I will appreciate a response to my feedback.Thank you,

Returning Comments on Bug reported issues.
When contacting AOL techs by phone on problems, they tell us to use the “Bug” link to do so. This can be hopefully helpful since so many of the AOL phone contacts are unproductive and inconsistent from one tech to another. On average, most of the phone-in tech calls’ answers to tech issues are to reinstall AOL Gold, where that often is not the solution. Their tech resolving expertise is usually very shallow. They spend more time trying to sell me a protection package than trying to find an experience supervisor to answer difficult…

When doing a SEARCH of emails -- When one letter is typed, the cursor jumps out of the search box, back to email list
.
So a search of, say, a 8 letter word, I have to reposition the cursor back to the search box to type the next letter, and AGAIN, cursor jumps out of the box251st ranked -
Quit trying to get my cell phone number. That is one of the least secure forms of identity for me. Everybody seems to have that number.

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…

Two factor verificaiton
Two factor verification is becoming a real pain!!! I have to do it several times per week every time Windows or AOL updates. It is wasting my time!!! Nice to prevent hacking, but not at the expense of using the software.

If there are posts in this forum about political biases in AOL, why are they "reviewed" with the Vote button turned off. There may be others who feel the same way about the subject but they are not allowed to "raise their hand" along with everyone else.

"BLOCK EMAIL" made simple + easy!
PLEASE, include a "BLOCK EMAIL" option in the drop down window when an email is clicked on. Having to type in the address(es) in the current block email system is VERY tedious and they change their addresses hourly. I AM SICK-AND-TIRED of all these, "I want to have * w/ you." emails, etc. **! Make it easy!

Restore being able to see the number of emails on each screen name when changing screen names. It was absurd that you removed this helpful feature just because someone whined about privacy!

When I save multiple emails from AOL Desktop Gold into a folder on AOL, I receive a small confirmation message from AOL. However, if I save only a single email, I do not receive that small confirmation. Can you kindly fix this? The confirmation is very helpful because if I accidentally save a message into the wrong folder, the confirmation alerts me to my error. If a mistake is made and I have no confirmation, I'll never find the message again. Thank you for considering this.
