  2. I think it's very inconvenient and a waste of time to put my emails in two different folders old and new.

    The old way was new unread emails in a bold print so mixing them with others emails is not a problem. I don't like having to go back and forth between old and new folders.

    Hi. You can choose to use the Unified mailbox, by going to Settings>More Settings>Viewing email>Inbox style. 


    If you're using the Classic AOL version, go to Options>Mail Settings>General>Inbox style>Save Settings.

  4. Why does AOL keep buffering ?

    My email is stuttering and buffeing with a lag between my key board and on screen .

    Apart from being annoying, it is impossible to use without inevitable errors due to lag.

    This has happened a number of times since the new format has been introduced - is this a problem of which AOL are aware and trying to rectify ?

  5. How do I stop AOL filters???

    People in my address book still get in my spam folder. Repeatedly I mark it as NOT SPAM and then it's in the spam next time. I'd rather just make up a rule that would take care of all my spam and not interfere with my good mail. Getting rid of the spam filters would do it.

    Recently you may have noticed an increase in email going to the Spam folder for senders using Office 365 and other Microsoft products. We are in the process of addressing this issue and expect it to improve over the next several days. Please keep marking the mail in the Spam folder as “not spam” or “ham” and that will help to correct the issue. Thanks for your patience.

  6. Don't Add Words/Letters for Me

    Good day,
    When I am typing out an email, the computer will occasionally complete the word before I am done typing or will add words that I may type next. I know it is trying to be helpful, but it is totally distracting. Some people may like this feature, but I find it annoying. I am not saying to totally get rid of it. But maybe there can be an off option for those that don't want to use it.

    Thank you.

  8. Music I receive NOT downloading as it has for years.

    I DJ and receive music from various companies. NEVER ever had a problem until the past few days. I think we're dealing with, "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, WHY FIX THE **** THING" which I think you've done with this new version. BUT, one person just sent me 5 or 6 new pieces of music and while one might download the other 5 don't. I finally had to sent them to my google account to get them. This is not good, everyone knows me as texmexfm@aol.com I really don't want to change.

  9. Entries at the end of the Block is not filtering.

    I have gotten SPAM in the Spam Folder after entering the email address.
    Re-viewing the Block List I see my entries are (still) last.
    I suspect this may be the reason the SPAM got through.
    To better understand the use of the Block List my question is -
    What is the time frame for the entries in the Block List to be sequenced?

    Hi there. Emails that are caught by the spam filter (going to the Spam folder) are not affected by the filters set. As for the blocking, please keep in mind that most spam is being sent from spoofed email addresses, meaning what you're seeing as the sender might not be a real email address. This is why the best way to manage spam is to mark emails going to your Inbox, as Spam. The spam folder then automatically empties after 30 days.

    We appreciate your feedback about the new AOL Mail version and we would like to know how we can improve it, any feedback about it it's highly appreciated! You can revert to the classic AOL Mail but please keep in mind that this option will not be available for long. To go back to classic AOL Mail, click Settings (top right corner) then click ''Switch to Classic Mail'' (bottom screen).

  11. SPAM Folder time stamp

    Did a search for “SPAM Folder time stamp” and did not find an explanation.
    Therefore, Is the time stamp for an e-mail in the SPAM folder the time the sender/spammer sent the e-mail, or the time AOL put it in the SPAM folder?

  18. Sending large files, is 81.5 MB too large?

    Tried to send an 81.5 MB picture at least a dozen times throughout today and received a Try Again Later notification every time. Is this beyond Compuserve email's current capabilities?
