I don't like the change to the spam folder which no longer shows how many pieces of mail are in the folder next to the icon like New Mail and Drafts. I use to just glance at this folder to see how many were in there now I have to open it up. I just figured this out and don't understand why you would make this change.

People with AOL are being inundated with spam email. AOL has to do a better job blocking massive amounts of junk email. I will switch to gmail or yahoo as these two alternatives do not have this much of a problem.

Allow users to select a number of emails in spam folder and block them all at the same time, instead of having to block each one individually.

block spam messages

aol needs to provide a one click block to spam messages!!! I takes forever to block spam messages!!

Need to allow for auto delete of all spam folders upon receipt.

Opening any e mail you do NOT recognize is a risk for a hack. We REALLY need this safety feature. Can you MAKE IT HAPPEN ?

Block the MASTER sites and all other SPAM mail stop.

Setting "only from contacts" should block ALL other senders, yet it does not. Many of us don't have time for SCAMS and Massive unwanted advertising. Even snail mail has never been this inefficient when a resident request unwanted mail to stop; otherwise a law suit can be the next message the unwanted company/scams may face. Yet, AOL Allows these criminals and does not protect the user. AOL enables constant massive overwhelming spam email. The settings need to give the user the ability to protect their mail box. Cost free, on regular mail a lock does this basic security task.

Segregate more the Delete and Spam toolbar buttons, they are right next to each other and it's easy to accidentally mark something as spam when one mean to delete the message.

My AOL mailbox receives many, many unsolicited emails. I do use the AOL feature of right clicking on the unwanted emails. That allows me to send that email's address to the AOL blocking file. That file has a limit of 1,000 blocked unwanted email addresses. In just a few months I have added 751 unwanted email addresses to that file. The unwanted email addresses file will soon be full.
Please expand your AOL unwanted email address file to 3,000 or 5,000 or some unlimited number. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Recently I received a spam email below.

I hope AOL could drop emails which does not have the sender address.
Otherwise, some people may actually send a lot of money to spam email senders.
And also, it is a little bit difficult to block such kind of spam emails.

Best regards,

Shin

I got the AOL "mail suspended" phishing email today on my laptop. When I logged into AOL to report it as spam, it was already in the spam mailbox. If AOL had already put the email into the spam mailbox on the website, why was it forwarded to me on my laptop as a piece of good mail?

Verizon Mail

Spam should display number of unread items.

This is essential so that items are not missed.

Often very important email is sent to spam

I have to look at the spam folder every time I check my email

Since AOL has not responded to two previous notices that the spam notification has not been working then it can be decided that AOL is purposelessly allowing intrusive marketers to deliver spam unhindered to user email. Unless I go directly to spam folder there's no indication spam has been sent.

The spam has increased exponentially again. AOL please do your job! We pay for this service!

I keep getting a request to update my aol mail.Says it is from aol. Is this spam?
