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.
3. BROWESER EDIT WORKS 50% OF TIME
4. 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!!!

Thank you + font
Thank you for now allowing emojis to be used in sent emails and also for emblems/crests in letter headings to be included on emails.
Is it possible to link the fonts on word processors to fonts on sent emails? This was done on earlier versions of AOL. Commercial script and Cloister Black would be welcomed by me.84th ranked -
This is not an accurate per AOL's answer and has not been fixed
Toolbar icons are exactly where I want them when signing out. When signing back in the next time, the icon positions have been changed. I only use one username and no one else uses my computer. THEY DO NOT STAY PUT and this has been going on for a long time now. Please do not merge or close comments until a real fix has been made to this problem. If this is closed or merged then either AOL doesn't read these comments enough to comprehend the real issues we deal with or they close them out so that others cannot…
17th rankedHello there, our engineers are currently investigating the issue related to the carousel position.
Regarding the Mail QuickView, the back-end development for this is finished, and in the following update you can enjoy this new feature.
Thank you.

'Reply to' feature
It would be great to have a 'Reply to' feature. In other words, if user A sends an email to user B and user B replies, the email goes back to user A. If user A could have a 'Reply to' feature e.g.,, user A could insert a different screen name for replies. I use AOL GOLD for our home owners association and most people have the tendency to reply to an email rather than forwarding it to an email address specified in the body of the email. In this case, a 'Reply To' feature would be great.

On the AOL APP for Android phones, there is ability to select: ALL, Read, UNRead, etc..
when I go to ANY email folder on the phone APP, I can choose 'view UNREAD' or others
This would be a VERY NICE enhancement for the Desktop.

Email "Emergency Brake."
There used to be a "stop sending" button on emails. Example, you click SEND and suddenly realize you forgot something, used to be able to stop sending, fix it, and send it again. Would be really nice to have again.

STOP resetting .HTML back to AOL Desktop handling
Every time you update AOL GOLD, which is becoming quite frequent!, you unset my default browser.
If I wanted to use the AOL Desktop, *I* will set it. Until you fix the browser (there is at least one web site that tells me to UPDATE my browser if I use AOL's) - I will stay with my favorite.

While writing an email, my font is "Segoe ,," yet it is not in the font list..
When I pasted other text into the email, it pasted in as my default "Comic Sans MS". There was no way to change it to match the "Segoe" font...
If you can *identify* a script, why can't you allow us to use it???

Service Error
There was a problem handling your request. An unspecified error has occurred.Yeah, I know, I shouldn't click on embedded images ;-) ..
65th rankedThank you for your feedback. Our engineering team is currently working on fixing this issue.
As a workaround, you can right-click on the attachment preview and select “Save image as” in order to save a copy of the image.

Send Feedback Forum Disorganized
This Feedback forum was a nice idea, but has become useless. New posts need to be on top, posts need a date. We're confused as to what happened and when. Recently Aol pulled back the Beta version, but to what? Where are we now? How are we supposed to help you if you don't help us?
