1. problems with saving emails on aol - There should be a search bar to put in the file & save on my PC is unclear

   Problems with saving emails on AOL:
   1. There should be a search bar to allow to go immediately with out having to scroll when very often the email goes into some wrong folder as I am scrolling & if I did not resend to myself before trying to save it to make sure I still have it if it does go into the wrong folder, it is lost.
   2. Create a new folder should be at the top not the bottom
   3.The option to "Save on my PC" is apparently not what you think it is as explained to me by the customer service rep - it means it locally saved on this softwear (if have 2 computers) - she is trying to explain it to me but I am still confused

   Note - Improving the ability to save emails on AOL would become a big attraction to businesses for a convenient filing system

   Other Ideas for Improving AOL & dramatically increasing the number of subscribers:

   I have many important ideas I would need to be hired as a consultant with the provision that if, in fact, these ideas do increase the subscriber base, I would be compensated in an agreed fashion

   Thank you for sharing your feedback, we will make sure this gets to the appropriate team for review. There are two ways to store your emails in folders. You can either “Save on AOL” and there email folders can be accessed from other computers and devices, or your can use “Save on My PC” and have the mail folders stored locally in the AOL Desktop personal filling cabinet (email folders can be accessed only from the computer where the emails were saved). For more information about this, please check the section titled “Using Mail in the new AOL Desktop Gold” from the following help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/the-new-aol-desktop-using-mail-aim-browsing-the-web

2. Approved emails are now landing in the spam folder and spam is in the approved emails.

   Approved emails are now landing in the spam folder and spam is in the other folder.

   Also, if you delete a few emails, the computers auto deletes ALL OF THEM. FIX THIS OR GIVE ME 98.2 back.

3. Excessive ads and liberal-slanted news!!

   You've now found a way to post advertising in the white space behind our email? Just another way AOL has found to take up band space to make everything work slower and jam up which is a constant problem. I pay for this service. TAKE AWAY THE UNNECESSARY ADVERTISING!!!!! While you're at it, try to be a little less liberal in your "news reporting". Remember, I pay for this service. I don't pay for your liberal-slanted news or your excessive advertising.

4. PROPERLY ASSIST OR Call your customers back WHO PAY FOR SERVICE

   I have been contacting AOL for OVER 1 year (open ticket 07256897). I have continually had every problem you can imagine. Slow email sending, cannot open mail, try again, email crashes. Template issues, etc, etc. Each time I call tech support, I must wait a minimum or 10-15 minutes, go through a lengthy id process, wheras I need a text sent to my phone with a code. THEN, I need to explain my TECH PROBLEM to billing, so they can then transfer me to tech support, who has another wait. If they cannnot resolve the problem, they will say, are you there? Are you there? and then they will hang-up, knowing all well they could hear you perfectly. You then have to cal again and repeat the same insane process. What happened to wonderful AOL that I had for over 20 years. The day I was MANDATED TO KEEP to purchase Desktop Gold, was the day I started hating AOL and their new tactics of charging for a SERVICE THEY DO NOT SUPPORT OR PROVIDE. I have contacted AOL customer service over 8 times within this year to request assistance, to involve a supervisor and to respectfully request a satisfactory refund. I am STILL WAITING. I called today, because my business email address has an extensive template I utilize for sending my emails to clients. The state of Texas requires that this template contain specific license info. This morning I went to send an email and it has been mysteriously deleted from my account. I paid a web designer to install this information. When I called an waited over 31 minutes, I received a tech who was untrained in this area of expertise and pretended she could not hear me and released the call. What a freaking shame!

   I want to know WHY THERE IS NO CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST AOL. I am willing to provide any documentation of my claim and refund request.

6. For crying out loud - stop trying to change how we reply to posts! It was fine the way it was and there's no need to have a pop-up box!

   The original way to reply to posts was fine - we just clicked on "Reply" and posted the reply. There is absolutely no need for the stupid box, especially when the darned thing pops up enabling me to reply to myself. Out with the new, go back to the old! As my daughter has said for years, most often when people come out with what they think is new and improved what it really amounts to is new and fu**ed up. This new method you've come up with to reply to a post is a perfect example of how correct she is.

7. I shouldn't have to pay for less...

   The message window always pops up too small. I have to widen it to see messages clearly. It’s fine when I stretch it out, left to right, but I wish it would stay that way (my preference). I have to constantly reset it every time I boot up the window. I should be able to set the column widths and have them stay where I set them, permanently. It’s very annoying to have to reset them each time I go to my mailbox.

   The old mailbox version allowed the user to see the sender’s address, and the entire subject, simply by placing the cursor on the address or the subject, before opening the message. This was a convenience that shouldn’t have been eliminated.

   When I try to drag messages to a file, the file box scrolls uncontrollably, even if I widen it to see the full file name. Also, in the old version, the file name would highlight when you placed the cursor on it. This doesn’t happen anymore, so it’s not certain that the user is dragging to the correct file, even though the window pops up, afterwards, telling you what file it’s going into. Again, a nice (common sense) convenience that went away.

   The subsets, ‘New’ and ‘Old’ messages, are useless and unnecessary. Take them out! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix or change it!

   The ‘Mark Unread’ button works only in the Old Message mode. Plus, it doesn’t return the message to bold text like it used to. Again, ‘ain’t broke, don’t fix’.

   Finally, since I’m a paying member, I should have the option to remove the ad box that’s stuck to the right side of the mailbox window. It prevents me from widening the window to its maximum width. Make it a separate window that can be closed and restored at the user's discretion.

   The old version of AOL was intuitive and easy to use. AOL Gold…IS NOT!!! Please fix it or I may reluctantly change to another e-mail provider; which would be a major inconvenience. Thank you!

   Thank you for your feedback, will send it over to the AOL Gold desktop team, making sure the features you mentioned become a priority and will be added in the future releases. Currently, we don’t have an estimated time frame, but we hope the majority of the features our members are asking for will be implemented soon.

   To adjust window size, please follow these steps:

   1. Drag one of the four corners of the mailbox window to your desired size and position.

   2. In the top right corner of the AOL Desktop, click “Window” then choose “Save Window Size and Position” from the drop-down menu.

   Please keep in mind that the setting will not work if the window is set on full screen.

8. AOL Desktop Gold feedback page needs to display posting dates

   This post is being made on 2018-08-22; I am on version 11.0.1916.
   I was prompted to provide this feedback because in the process of trying to provide feedback I could not tell whether the other feedback items I could see in various topics were current or not. Not until I chose to delve down into an item someone else posted did I discover that the posting date for the original post and comments were displayed.

   This reflects less than optimal page / functional design, and needs improvement -- even if this is a minor issue, it is a barrier to constructive engagement. FYI, I've been an AOL user since its inception, and involved in computing and software development for ~50 years, so this is not my first rodeo and I have the chops to comment on interface design.

10. EXISTING + LONG TIME ONGOING

    been over 8 months now - this post will probably closed , merge into another that is not related or hidden in some other non pertinent topic -
    1 - Gold still undependable + not working - can not sign in with out multiple attempts ( internet filled with this complaint - welcome screen does not load -
    2 - intrusive , invasive privacy agreement -
    3 - AOL , OATH , VERIZON are extremely untrustworthy - customer unfriendly + do not listen to or care about long time paid consumers -
    4 - chrome browser is inefficient + outdated - warnings about it is currently posted on Ebay + others about doubtful security if using it -
    5 - worst inefficient way to organize favorite on the entire web - total joke ! -
    6 - this forum does not listen to , care about , or take any actions that users all agree are needed -
    7 - amateur + knowledgeable tech support - many techs have a problem with the English language - booting user's computers , reloading gold , creating settings that adversely effect users computers will not cure the problems built into Gold + chrome by second class developers + programmers ! -
    8 - totally biased + outdated news from amateur journalists - trying to control what readers read instead of reporting facts + topics that readers want + deserve -
    9 - email erratic , slow , + fails to load at times
    
    so many posts on this forum all stating these + other problems + no positive actions are being taken - tech support + report a bug have done nothing to alleviate these + other issues in over 8 months now - total disrespect of all your long time paid subscribers -
