  2. What happened to the back arrow?

    What happened to the back arrow? Recently after reading a message, I have to go to "inbox" to go back to the inbox. I used to be able to hit an arrow within the message menu that would take me back. The way it is now, I have to wait for all of the messages to re-load. I like the old way better so I can be back at the inbox and decide how to manage my messages.

    To return to the mailbox, you are able to click the “X” option in the top right instead of clicking Inbox. You are also able to select the down and up icons to go through mail in your inbox.

    You can easily disable the ‘Today on AOL’ news feed by following the steps below:

    - Click the ‘Options’ menu located in the top right corner of the screen
    - Select ‘Mail Settings’
    - In the ‘General’ tab, un-check the ‘Show me Today on AOL when signing in’ feature

    This will allow you to go directly to your Inbox when signing in to your email account.

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but AOL is just doing its best to protect your online safety. In case you sign in from a new device or using a new network you will be asked to verify that you are the owner of the account for security purposes. Once the device gains enough reputation you will no longer be asked to verify your login.

  7. Bing

    Hi! On my iPhone I tried to use bing to pull up aol, I click the button to get the menu of folders. I click a folder but nothing happens! I click search box, but can’t type anything. I do person icon to sign out, and see click to close bar, but click doesn’t do anything. All these things work fine on safari. Please fix them.

  9. Website is not working as it should ( and used to ).

    When trying to clean up my E-Mail it does not allow me to click on a box and go down a bunch to the last one I want to delete and the shift-click and auto fill DOES NOT WORK. It used to and now it doesn't. I went to the AOL "help site" and it does not let me ask a question or inform them of their problem unless I upgrade my service. TOTAL *** when it is an AOL problem - GEEEEEZ.

  11. Be able to see mail filtered to folders, in Inbox or other notification

    Hello AOL,
    Thank you for the ability to create filters for email to go folders. The challenge is that we do not see the auto-filtered to folders email, in the inbox, so it is often overlooked.

    Is there a way to see in the general inbox, and also find in the folders? If so, along with subfolders, I would use this filter feature more frequently and effectively.
    Thank you for your consideration,
    Kim

  12. Can't get into my account on a Sunday and I am suing you for a lost contract

    On a Sunday morning when I am finalizing a business deal I was unable to enter my AOL email because it decided, for the 1st time in 15 years, to do a phone verification check. I no longer own a phone a do not have any access to my prior numbers, and therefore I have lost this business deal, and your company has cost me over 50,000 dollars. I intend to sue you and am contacting my lawyer now

  13. log in issue related to guce.advertising.com

    I am unable to log in to my AOL/Verizon webmail at work:

    I try to access my webmail via this link: https://mail.aol.com/webmail-std/en-us/suite

    Note: My corporate network is very slow and pages sometimes time out, but I can usually get to them by simply reloading the page.

    Over the past several months, by using the link above, I would get to the log in screen, enter my email, get to the password screen and enter my password. After hitting enter, the browser "circles" for a long time, then the URL bar changes to: https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=1_cc-session_d250abfc-bcd0-41ec-b5ab-d9112d7df63e

    AND I get an error message stating:…

  20. bookmarks no longer working from aol

    Cannot transfer to another site via bookmark in MS Edge for the past month or so, must open another tab and access the bookmarked site from there. This used to work just fine - clearing the cookies and other suggested remedies do not do the trick.
