  5. This version of AOL is very challenging

    This version of AOL is very challenging. I have watched as several problematic issues have been resolved, others persist.
    I have designated my email to font: ‘Arial’ 12. Your program is ‘defaulting’ to a font which is not even available in your drop-down list: ‘Segoe UI’- 10
    I have to take time each email to override this as I compose each email. As I reply to emails; the fonts are also changed from their original to smaller, often different styles. Very time consuming to correct.
    Email ‘signatures’ are also a big problem. The large reduction in available fonts, from prior…

  11. Err3 error.. what the heck is that about?

    When trying to get a piece of email to go to my waiting to be sent folder I got that message. Why should there be any delay or error sending mail to my waiting to be sent folder? Why isn't it going through immediately? This doesn't happen all the time, but it shouldn't happen ever at all for any reason.

  12. LET SOMEONE KNOW SOMETHING

    Today I was installing a new alarm and security system at my home and had to use my AOL email address several times. I couldn't get either system UP AND RUNNING because the companies I was dealing with COULD NOT VERIFY MY EMAIL ADDRESS???? A few days ago, my credit card was compromised and it was cancelled and a new one issued. About this time AOL trys to draft my credit card account on the old number, which was no good. AOL SAID NOTHING, I GOT NO NOTIFICATION......."NOTHING".....THEY JUST CUT OFF MY SERVICE right in the middle of what I…

  19. These instructions make NO SENSE TO ME... tried it and didn't work:

    To add a photo in the email signature… open the picture in a Photo Editor (we recommend Microsoft Paint), and after using the Selection tool to select which part of the photo you want in your signature, copy the selection using the Copy function in your photo editor, or with the CTRL+C keys on your keyboard. After copying the photo selection go to the Set Mail Signatures option in AOL Desktop Gold, and paste the photo in the signature compose window by using the CTRL+V keys on your keyboard.
