I have called and searched..no one has helped me. The appearance of my email address is wrong when I send a email. How do I changed it?

If you’re using your email on different platforms (such as a smartphone, tablet, or Outlook) please check your settings on any email program to make sure that you haven’t changed your display name associated with it.

Confusion
I cannot figure out how to delete some things from my contact list and I’ve searched and been round and round and can’t even find a way to email you but this. All I see is the contact list but no way to edit. You say 9.3 app is needed but the highest number at the App Store is 5. Something ????????????
To manage your contacts list, you will have to access your account from a desktop computer.
Also, the 9.3 version is for the iOS operating system and 5.5.1 is for the AOL App version. -
Once you’re viewing the news tab if you tap Home to return to your home screen the next time you go into the app it will start on news instead of mail.

Thanks for the feedback. We’re really sorry to hear your displeasure with the advertising on the AOL App. In order for AOL to offer things like web content and products, we need to sell advertising just like any newspaper, magazine or television station would. But we certainly don’t want to get to a point where we start to lose our valued audience, so your feedback is greatly valued.

Print function improvement needed
I tried to print an email. So I selected the info and then selected print.
Your response was no printer found.
Then it tried to air print and found my daughter's house printer, not my HP print app printer.
Can you make your app let me select from my wifi based printers and network printers instead of telling me my five different printers are not found.Hello there, please make sure your HP printer is connected to the same wireless network that your mobile phone is using.
Additionally you can check if the printer is setup properly, by trying to access it from another device on your network.
Thank you.

How do I make mail go to the iPad mail folder?
I have been with AOL for years and thanks. There are two. Things with this app that I don’t care for.
How can I make new mail show up on the iPad dashboard? Having to go to the aol mail button is a pain.
How can I make the mail automatically open expanded to full screen? The added steps are a pain.
Thanks
