  2. Identify phishing/scams separately from spam

    Spam vs Phishing/Scams
    It is often pretty easy for savvy users to tell that an item in the Inbox or Spam folder is phishing. However, we know there are many users who are more at risk of being scammed.
    When deleting spam, we should be able to indicate whether an item being deleted is just spam or if it is a phishing or other security issue. Then, the AOL security team can work more quickly to prevent many of these emails from going to all your subscribers.

  3. SPAM

    Just like phones scammers, etc. are spoofing email addresses and domains. I regularly delete over 100 emails a day n my Spam folder. When I go to Mail > Mail Settings > Mail Filters, I can enter a filter and select what to do with emails that contain the filter. However, there are several problems with the process.

    Take for example: Filter name: McAfee From Contains McAfee and mover = Trash folder.

    Issue 1 -- I don't have a trash folder, I have a spam folder If I select an email and hit the Delete button it will delete the…

  5. Bring back words or phrases or senders that can be blocked in emails.

    Bring back words or phrases or senders that can be blocked in emails. It worked great in previous versions. I get over 100 spam emails per day from "renter" "info" "newsletter" "admin" "contact" "no reply and"16307" to name a few. There are some legitimate emails that go to spam that I have to search through to get.

  7. keyword block

    please create a keyword block (either in the email address or heading or in the subject matter that would automatically prevent email from being viewed in the spam folder or go directly to trash. This same block could be used for specific senders who change their email domain but not their name

  8. reinstate 'Empty Spam Folder' option

    What happened to right-clicking the Spam icon in the left margin and having the "empty Spam Folder" option come up instead of having to go into the folder and delete entries page by page?

  9. clearing spam

    Just make clearing spam an 'ALL' at once option. this going page by page and having to do three clicks per page is antiquated. Quit being idiots and sell outs to commerce and give us all a break

  10. We think this is spam! banner often reappears on real mail (this is political).

    How about stop using a "we think this is spam" banner repeatedly on real email and STOP providing our email addresses to ACTUAL spammers.

  11. One click - Block all selected email addresses

    Why does each individual email need to be selected to block it on the desktop app? And in the ridiculous web version, we need to view source, copy the email address, open settings, go to block, and paste each individual email address in the box. How outdated can an email program be??? I move spam emails that go to my inbox and other spam I filtered to a folder and then block each one. We also need a right click report as phishing button, and a report inappropriate email button. The more I reported as spam, the more spam I…
