  3. No way to cancel an email upload. A totally new problem

    I am attempting to send files to my boss, I have multiple emails to send. I was in the process of sending one and decided I'd put the rest in my 'waiting to be sent' folder and each time I tried the mail started sending instead of going into the folder. Which resulted in 2 emails trying to be sent at the same time. There is NO cancel upload button anymore which resulted in both emails being sent at the same time. And with no way to cancel the second email from going, I ended up with Err35 message…

    Thank you for reaching out to us, we will send this to our Product Engineers and they will look into this to see if they can have it fixed in a future update or release of the software.

    Once you click on “Send Now” after composing the email, there is no way to cancel the action. If you want to save your email and send it later, you can click on “Send Later” and retrieve the email from the Drafts folder.

  4. Unusual AOL problems the last couple of days.

    Has anyone else experienced unusual difficulty with AOL the last couple of days? Here's what's been going with my aol: 1) I take steps to save an email to a new folder. The email does not show anywhere in the new or old or deleted sections, but the new file folder with the saved email is not showing up in the saved area or anywhere else. 2) I wrote an email and clicked to send it. It doesn't send. I give it a few minutes and then click send again. It doesn't send this time either, and doesn't give me…

  7. Does anyone at AOL read the COMMENTS?

    It is hard to believe, that AOL has become **** For three weeks, every time I turned on my computer, I was alerted that AIM as of Dec 15 was NO LONGER AVAILABLE. It kept going till Jan 2nd. Now four days ago, I get a AOL ALERT, that I can only use AOL GOLD. No notice, no nothing. Then waiting 40 minutes to speak with a AOL tech and listening to the twangy music, I am told " SORRY"
    What ever Team worked on AOL GOLD have to be FIRED. They are Incompetent. There are so many issues…

  8. FIX AOL GOLD. IF I KNEW HOW, I'D HAVE YOUR JOB.

    AOL GOLD IS PROBLEMATIC WHENEVER AND WHEREVER I USE IT, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OR BRAND COMPUTER. AOL GOLD PROBLEMATIC STATE IS MOST CONTINUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY AOL TECH SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. I HAVE USED AOL GOLD IN DIFFERENT CITIES, STATES AND COUNTRIES WITH CONNECTION SPEEDS FROM 0.25 MBS TO OVER 50 MBS AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. AOL GOLD HAS BUILT-IN FLAWS AND INCONSISTENCIES MAKING IT ONE OF THE WORST AND USER UNFRIENDLY ONLINE PROGRAMS IN EXISTENCE. SADLY, THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE VERIZON ACQUISITION AND THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE AOL PROGRAM INTO "AOL DESKTOP GOLD". IT HAS…

    I have a major complaint, this has been going on for such a long time, but I have just about had it with ads hitting me in the face constantly, even when I was paying for your most expensive membership. On the Welcome page over to the right hand side, it constantly is showing me things I have searched, I know what I have searched, I dont need to be reminded, but this is the problem, we all have 7 email addresses on our accts, so I have one and my husband has another.

  11. You want to improve "gold"? Start over cause it ain't working

    What has happened. Now when I sigh on, there is NO option for a screen name and when I tried to open an email, it took over 6 minutes and it still was not open. I gave up trying after that. You "fix" one thing and break 5 others.

    Unfortunately, the option to check the status of a sent mail is no longer available.

    I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents investigate the issues you are experiencing with the software. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733.

  13. Getting blue bar when trying to correct words that deletes the following words

    When I'm typing and make a mistake, I go back to correct it and I get a BLUE bar, that deletes letters on the next word. I have to change positions, correct the misspelling and then put it back in place. That happens with no warning. And it happens, no all the time, but a lot of times.

  14. AOL telephone numbers

    I am very confused about what phone numbers I should use. I have been using a VIP tel. number with my VIP number but it doesn’t work. What shall I do with my number? Do I keep it?
    I have a number for tech support and billing.
    For Assist I have these numbers:
    1-800/361-5440 Assist.*
    1-844/209-7254 ”
    1-855/221-0416 “
    1-844/218-2840 “
    AOL 1-800/827-6364 Tech support and billing
    1-855/265-8477 VIP tel no. which the voice mail forwards me to then it says (“This number is experiencing technical difficulties Try again later”.) for quite some time now but calling later doesn’t help…

    Hi there, these are the phone numbers for the AOL support channels:

    AOL Billing/Tech Support 1-800-827-6364

    Assist by AOL 855-845-8255

    Regarding the double spacing in emails, this might be a result of using a certain Font type or size. You can adjust the Font type or size in order to reduce the spacing.

    I don't know how many times I have gone to the SENT mail in the dropdown and clicked it and have lost the connection to AOL.Go ahead and do your regular fix, just merge this with something else and forget about it.

  18. Photos and text from Word documents don't paste into email message.

    Unlike AOL 9.8.2, photos/ graphics/ text from Word Documents don't paste into email message box.

    Very frustrating in trying to communicate in a professional way.

    AOL 9.8.2 allowed pasting of many photos and graphics, as well as large amounts of text---almost like a newsletter publishing software.

    AOL Gold is just not sufficiently professional to give a good impression.

  19. password save

    AOL gold does not prompt me to save usernames and passwords, even though I have selected that function. I do not know how to fix this. I am trying to do it on my Craigslist account. Google chrome saves the username and password. Because of the ease of going to websites on Chrome, I have to have 2 browsers open all the time.
