    AOL Gold is as terrible as it's been since day 1. It sucks up so much memory, RAM, and resources that it makes both of my computers run very slowly. AOL has been promising to improve it since Day 1, and it never gets better. Every platform that AOL used before Gold worked so much better than this disaster.I'm glad that Verizon sold AOL so maybe the new owners will care enough to improve it.

  3. Improve Account Verification

    ACCOUNT VERIFICATION
    Improve your account verification process! I recently bought a new computer, installed AOL Desktop Gold and then you folks wouldn't allow me to use my email and sent me a verification code for security purposes at my recovery Gmail address. I entered the verification code into AOL Desktop Gold and instead of just accepting it and bringing me to my AOL email, a pop up appeared insisting I secure my account and reset my password. What's the point of a verification code to a recovery email address if you're going to force me to reset my password…

  4. Just read below of which I TOTALLY agree with

    Just read above / below of which I TOTALLY agree.

    No wonder aol's gone out of business... and that's why you and I are having such great difficulity. Even spell check and full screen doesn't work anymore Chrome works the best and is the ONLY browser that allows me to see my Netflix and Hulu subscriptions. My best advice, instead of complaining to a brick wall, is to "Funk the Dumb stuff", (delicately put) and move on. Customer Service is at an ALL TIME LOW ! Forget trying to e mail them, (it NO longer exists), or for that…

  5. Features need to work!

    FIX SPELL CHECK! Asked until blue in face and nothing done and I am ignored, without response despite several requests! Click on "ADD TO DICTIONARY" and it does not, etc. You eliminated the "Ignore It," option also. This has gone for months without a fix, or rely. Further, for months heard once that you were working on why free McAfee cant be downloaded. How many more months needed to fix this??? Still my computer unprotected and you ignore all requests for update on what is happening! Gold goes down regularly and your firm ignores paying customers. WHY? Mail slow, adds…

  6. Menu keeps popping up

    PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This menu box keeps popping up with every click of my mouse...
    (Back, Forward, Refresh, Undo, Redo, Select All, Create Shortcut, View Source, Print, Print Preview, Add to Favorites, Properties, Pop Ups). It is popping up while I am typing this feedback. It is quite annoying. I have to click on another spot on the screen to make it go away and then I have to re-click to try to get to where I was going. This menu sometimes keep popping up, 2-3 times back to back, when I am clicking on another spot on the…

  17. 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.
