If you are staying on Windows 7, do NOT reinstall Windows unless you want a hassle!
If you are staying on Windows 7, do NOT reinstall Windows unless you want to go through the hassle of copying system files.
I have a few Win7 computers and noticed that when I did a fresh install on one of them I could no longer download AOL Desktop Gold. It gave a "download error". I called tech support and they said Windows 7 is no longer supported, which is silly. Windows 7 still works perfectly.
I had to take the installation files and Program Files folders and copy them from another computer to make it work. 11.0.4125 is…

Gold is getting worse and worse.
First you take away the ability to organize the favorites. Now you have removed the User ID's from the sign in screen. And the Add a New User does not work? And when you try and type an email, the address automatically goes into the body of the message. The problems go on and on. What are you doing?
Thank you for your post. The product team is not planning to change the alphabetical listing of favorites.
As you might have noticed we changed the login process in AOL Mail, to a more secure 2 step login, which helps prevent your AOL account from being compromised or hacked.
I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents investigate the email composing issue. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733.

It makes no difference if the people using this so called GOLD tell AOL what is wrong they do nothing. I am trying to get the group emails
Trying to get the group emails that I had in the old AOL and they are gone
It is possible that some contacts were saved offline in the old AOL Desktop (version 9.8 or lower). Since the option to export the address book from the old AOL Desktop is not available, we recommend opening the Address Book in from the old AOL Desktop (there is no need to sign in, in order to open the Address Book) and after retrieving the missing contacts, to manually add them in AOL Desktop Gold (they will be saved on the server, and can be accessed from different devices). If you need assistance with this please call us at 1-888-265-3733.

GOLD address file still not working correctly
The Gold address book is still working correctly. I have had issues with this from the very beginning. If you transfer a name from 'All Contacts' into an address folder it will not stay in there. I also get duplications in the address folders. I have lost names in the address folders also. I have contacted AOL techs several times and they reset my address book only to have it not work properly again and again. You have advised me that you have reset my address book and refreshed the servers. You have a bigger problem than resetting servers. You…

Scam Messages
I get at least 3 scam messages every day. The say I won something, an account of mine will be cancelled or my my computer has several viruses. I need to contact them immediately. It would be nice to be able to report these to AOL and once verified by AOL do not allow them through the system at all. Some probably use different addresses but AOL should be able to quickly identify them all by the common message. It is time for the various email networks do something.
Hi there! We are sorry to hear you are encountering these issues. Our suggestion would be to access our article regarding these kind of situations at: https://help.aol.com/articles/protect-yourself-from-internet-scams. We hope this will help you out.

Settings are all messed up
My Avast abtivirus did an update last night, and now I'm having problems with AOL. It no longer has my user name and password saved, even though I've repeatedly told it to. My mail settings are screwed up, and when I try to get to them, all I'm getting is a black screen. What's happening, and how do I correct it? Has anyone else had this problem?

Issues with everything
There's a huge problem when you can't log on to AOL from your own desktop but you can with any of the other servers! There's loads of disgruntled people who hate Gold but guess what.. they're not listening!!!!!! I could go on forever! No blocking mail the easy way. No address book on the side. No way to access emails when offline! When trying to access AOL the screen just sits there blank! I used to be able to click my search email without typing in an address so I could bring all of them up and go thru…

2 step verification for log in security
I set up the 2 step verification for log in security. The first time I logged in after setup desktop gold browser ask me for a 4 digit code sent by email before i could log in which was great. The first log in procedure never ask me if i wanted my computers i use or the wifi ip address i use (not sure which) to be remembered so the next time i log in i wouldnt have to enter 4 digit code. The second time i logged into my account after the 2 step verification was set up…
You can find more information on the 2 step verification and why sometimes you are not prompted to enter a code in the following help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/2-step-verification-stronger-than-your-password-alone

PLEASE, PLEASE , PLEASE FIX "THE BASICS"
FIX THE BASICS AOL GOLD IS WORST PROGRAM I EVER USED. I BEEN USING COMPUTERS SINCE 1987.
1.) SAVE DRAFT SHOULD SAVE THE ORIGINAL DRAFT ONLY
"1 TIME" IT SAVES MULTIPLE COPIES.2) COPY, PASTE, CUT, UNDO, SPELL CHECK WORKS ONLY 50% OF TIME.
BROWESER EDIT WORKS 50% OF TIME
IT TAKES 4-10 CLICKS FOR EMAIL TO OPEN SOMETIMES IT FREEZES.DOESNT OPEN AT ALL, OR WILL NOT SEND.
THESE ARE BASIC EMAIL FEATURES WE USE EVERY DAY. ARE WE HAVING A LANGUAGE BARRIER HERE, YOU ARE FIXING THINGS NORMAL PEOPLE USE ONCE A MONTH!!!
- Don't see your idea?
