  3. Email contents disappear after placed in DRAFT folder

    Since I installed Beta 2690, I had reports of empty emails that I had sent out?? . I wrote it off as some kind of fluke..

    But just now, I wrote an email, added a some words and a URL and an image. Placed it in the DRAFT folder to send later.

    Found something I wanted to add to that email, re-opened itl to find it empty!!!! NO words NO Image!!! Userids still there, but the BODY of the email was 100% blank.

    This is exactly what I had complaints about days ago.

    Have you gotten others reporting this?

  7. email out

    Email is not working. They say customer support is available to paid subscribers 25/7. I call & get no answer. They say chat is not available due to corona. What about social distance requirements would be a problem with having a chat representative available. It's just an excuse for AOL's terrible service. Why am I paying $18/mo for AOL? Guess I'm stupid, but no more. Time to cancel after 35 years.

  10. Address Book

    garding addressbook.
    I attempted to make a minor change on the address of someone where the address was "dave" to just make it "Dave". However that one address change caused a number of other addresses to jump over into the name box and then have a complete blank in the address portion. I therefore requested AOL to take a recent entire address book for "*****@aol.com" and restore the entire address book with one from a few days earlier on the AOL's files.
    My phone number is *
    -*-or *--**and my cell is *-

    When I first sign onto AOL I get error ET-5005. "the requested message or attachment has an incorrect ID. " I get the same error when I access settings. It causes no further complications though, I can proceed as normal. I even uninstalled my AOL destop software and downloaded new software but the same message pops up.

  15. AOL Gold text

  20. SPAM stuck in SPAM folder

    I posted this a week ago. Got an answer to refresh my email box which I did and indicated in a response that I did. No answer; no fix. Then I posted it as a bug. No answer; no response. Still have the problem but I want some attention paid to this because it is the 3rd time it has happened. I'm tired of it happening...and having to fix it myself only to have it recur again. Clearly a problem with this Desktop Gold software, among many.
