I have been trying to get into my AOL account to update my account information but keep getting a message to try again later. Gold sucks!
Get rid of Gold and go back to the original AOL. Have a number where one can call AOL to change/or update account information. I need some help here and can't seem to get it from AOL. My credit card that AOL bills to was compromised with fraud and I was issued a new one and need to update my account. How can I do this?
You can update your account information, by accessing myaccount.aol.com or you can call our Billing department at 1-800-827-6364.

Marking emails as unread does not always work
It rarely works on the first try, mark it as unread and expect it to stay in your new mail then when you want to have a double take you can't find it. Go to old and have to mark it as unread 2/3 more times before it's move back to the inbox. (side note, why isn't my screenname good enough to leave feedback? since I have to add the @aol.com to leave feedback am I going to have to do so to email other aol members as well?)
Try refreshing the mailbox. Click on the Mail option on the top of the desktop screen and select Refresh Mailbox from the drop-down menu.
If the problem isn’t resolved, please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733 for more assistance.

Saving an Email - not working.
I wish to save the contents of an email, (older AOL desktop had capability)
What I've tried - but doesn't work..
On an email, I right click & "SELECT ALL"
Then Click (bottom left of email border" SAVE & on my PC, Select
the folder I want .. & NOTHING is saved..Try again with "Create a folder" .. enter name and again
NOTHING is saved and the folder was NOT created.What I NEEED is save the entired email as a PDF or as an HTML file with any images.. OR whatever!!
You can now save a copy of your emails as a PDF or Text file on your computer, which can be accessed outside of the AOL Desktop Gold.
To do this, open an email from your mailbox, then click on File on the top left and select Save from the drop-down menu. You can type a name for the file in the “File Name” box, select the location where you want to save it, and finally click on Save in the bottom right.
Please note that you can save one email at a time.

AOL DataMask Screenshot Issue
AOL DataMask Screenshot Issue
When I use DataMask and try to make a screenshot on Dell’s website, it would not work. And, I did put an X in the appropriate screen block option and also selected Exit in the notification area. Furthermore, I can make a screenshot on any other website or document. I use Windows 10 and AOL Gold.
Below is one Dell’s website where I could not make a screenshot.
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/quicktest?c=us&l=en&~ck=mn
Please fix.
Jerry
1/22/18Besides disabling DataMask, please also turn off the Screen Capture Protection from within AOL Desktop Gold. To do that, follow these steps:
1. Open AOL Desktop Gold and sign on.
2. Click on the Edit button on the top left corner.
3. Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
4. Go to the Premium Security tab.
5. Uncheck “Enable Screen Capture Protection” (changes as saved automatically).

Tech help needs help!
I tried to install a paid version of Gold on a new hard drive. One tech called me and we installed a program to let her do the install. She couldn't and then told me it was due to over 1000 viruses on my computer. Another called me back and tried to get me to pay Microsoft $99 to repair my computer. I'm a tech myself. So I found a link and installed the Gold software myself. I've been with AOL since they were out on floppy for dial-up. Bad advice is not what your Tech people should…

AOL 800# TECH SUPPORT ACTUALLY MAKE PROBLEMS WORSE. READ BELOW
AOL 800# Tech support is all foreign based so AOL Corporate officers can maximize their pay. AOL Tech Support usually creates more damage and make problems worse. AOL continues to utilize an idiotic, problematic browser arrangement that needs continuous reworking and updating. Their main default, workaround and fallback is to Reload the AOL Gold program via BOMGAR session, which most always causes loss of your AOL program-open settings and loss of all your personal TOOL-BAR settings and Icons which you have placed there, but, of course, always retrains the AOL commercial Icons, which actually can, and should be deleted. These…
