  1. View Message Source is broken in Basic\Accessible Version

    I am using https://mail.aol.com/webmail-std/en-us/basic (Basic/Accessible Version).

    When viewing an email message,if I select More\View Message Source, then a new tab opens with https://mail.aol.com/webmail-std/en-us/basic in inbox view, not a tab with the message source.

    If I switch to to Standard Version, View Message Source opens a new Window with the message source, not a new Tab.

    Also, when I Save As from the new Window, the file name is always "rawplaintext"instead of a unique name such as MessageXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.txt which was available in Basic\Accessible Version.

  4. Security

    The Recent Activity function within Settings does not allow the USER to see at the same time if there are more than one device logged into the email account. For instance, sometimes when I log off, the LOG OFF pop up prompt does not always appear. So I don't know if another unknow device is accessing my account. Recently Activity function should display all devices (phones, laptop) log onto the account at that moment. Thanks for listening.

  7. addresses not being blocked

    I have BLOCKED addresses, however I CONTINUE TO GET EMAIL from these blocked addresses! WHY? And the amount of spam on AOL is absolutely RIDICULOUS! If I block an address i should NOT get ANY EMAIL including SPAM from the blocked address.

  15. auto-forwarding email

    I am disappointed that you do not allow auto-forwarding of email. I have been a subscriber since 1989. I will spend the next month updating all of my accounts that used the aol email address to another service.

  17. I only want "UNREAD EMAILS"!

    Instead of just unread emails... my inbox now shows every single email (thousands) until I click the dropdown box and hit "see unread".

    The next time I sign in or refresh, those thousands of emails are back again. WTF?

    Never had this problem before ... I just want AT ALL TIMES to see unread emails in my inbox.

    AOL is getting horrible especially with all of the ads everywhere (that now look like emails) after almost 20years it's about time to move on...
