"Today on AOL" Landing Page - Disable
In my settings, I deselected the box that says "Show me Today on AOL when signing in". Yet every single time I log in, it takes me to the "Today on AOL" page. I double-checked my settings and the box is still deselected, but it keeps doing exactly what I asked it not to do.
Any chance you can get the system to actually recognize the settings?
Thanks.By un-clicking Today on AOL when you sign in, you will be directed to your Inbox, not the news page, however this will not remove the news page from your mailbox. If this is not happening, please make sure to have the latest version of your browser or change the browser.

Can't find settings icon to add an email account
Running Windows 10. Can't find settings icon. Need to add another email account.
If you are using AOL web-mail (mail.aol.com) you will need to sign out of an account, from the top right corner of the page, then sign back in using another account. Unfortunately AOL web-mail does not have a switch account feature.
In case you are using an email client on your Windows 10 (e.g. Windows Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird), please follow the steps from the section titled ‘Instructions for common email apps’ from the article below, in order to add another account.

Thank you for reaching out to us.
We recommend using the ‘Standard’ version of AOL Mail. To switch to it, simply click the ‘Options’ menu located in the top right corner of the screen, then click ‘Standard Version’.

Your recent re-structuring now will not work on my MOTOROLA DROID MAXX cell phone.
You need to contact cell phone users of sync'g and let them know what unique changes in the "port" like settings need to be applied. Can no longer add the AOL mail sync.
Please check the Incoming mail server settings in your email application, and make sure they match the IMAP/POP settings in the section titled “AOL Mail POP and IMAP settings” from the following help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail
The incoming and outgoing mail servers require SSL enabled for all ports, and also the username field in the account setup, needs to contain your full email address, including @aol.com at the end.
In case your server settings are correct, open the link below (and sign in if necessary), and make sure the option “Allow apps that use less secure sign-in” is turned ON.
https://login.aol.com/account/security
After this turning ON this option, check if your mail application is able to connect. If the problem persists, verify if the “Two-step verification” option on the Account Security page (the URL above) is turned ON or OFF.
In case this feature is turned ON, you…

You've made AOL so **** difficult!
You've made AOL so **** difficult to maneuver through! No blocking of unwanted spammail! So, I get hordes of it everyday!
Where the *** is the place, WHERE I can deactivate one of my screen names???
Due to recent adjustments to the AOL Mail platform, the Spam Settings customization, are no longer available for all accounts. We apologize for the inconvenience.
In order to block a specific sender, go to Options – Mail Settings – Spam Settings and add the email addresses in the box below “Block Mail from Addresses I Specify”, then click Save Settings at the bottom, and in case you receive unwanted emails in the Inbox, mark them as Spam.

New laptop is showing "Today on AOL" for only UK. Also, the temperature setting is for Centigrade. Not sure how to change setting to show US news instead of UK news and Fahrenheit instead of Centigrade.
When you see incorrect local information (such as the news or weather for a different location) on your Welcome Screen, you may want to verify your location is correct. This can be done by making sure your correct City, State is in the top left of your Welcome Screen.
If it is not, please click “Update Your Location” under Local News and Weather, enter your Zip Code and press Save.
If this does not work, please clear your cache, cookies, and history.

Give option to not see reminder for 'backup email or phone' every time log in
Please stop asking me to verify backup email and phone before I access my account. Give an option to opt out of this pop up message. This information should be part of profile and the responsibility of account owner to keep up to date. My information usually stays for years without needing updated. The information could also have a way, if people want, a reminder for 30 days, 60 days, 120 days, etc. - then a popup could appear for them.
AOL is just doing its best to protect your online safety. It’s extremely important to have updated information should you ever need to change your account settings, reset your password or contact AOL customer support.
