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 ?
Hi there, Most latency issues are due to software being out of date. I would suggest trying another web browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

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.Hi. Please check your browser so it does not have any extensions that autofill your words, such as Grammarly. If you need additional help, you can contact us at help.aol.com

why do I have to delete the same mail from my phone and computer
Why do I have to delete the same emails from my computer when I have already deleted them from my phone!?
This can happen if you use a third party mail app on your mobile phone and emails are only stored locally. To prevent this, we recommend only accessing your account from the AOL app or mail.aol.com.

I have a separate account from my wife- but you think we are one person- NO- we are not - stop sending her stuff to my account and vice vers
You address my wife in my emails- My wife is not ME- we have separate emails- and separate "names" and passwords. Why are you thinking we are one and the same? It causes problems because emails think we are one person.
We don't redirect a user's emails to a different user's inbox. Make sure you weren't included in the CC/BCC or your wife didn't give out your email address to the sender instead of her own.

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 How outdated can an email program be???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…
If you select multiple emails, you can block all the senders under the "More" option.

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.
This sounds like something our Customer Care team can look into, please contact them at help.aol.com.

AOL should Automatically Empty SPAM folder after 5 days
Automatically empty spam folder.
When does AOL empty the SPAM folder. 10, 20, 30 days?Product Support (Product Support, AOL) responded Mar 24, 2022
to an idea from John Harding Mar 13, 2022
"Hi. The Spam and Trash folders are automatically emptied after a certain period of time, the oldest will be deleted first."I'm at 859 SPAM emails after 9 days (21 Oct through 30 Oct), I'm averaging 86 SPAM a day. I CANNOT HANDLE IT!
I was emptying the folder myself. why should the burden be on me to empty it?
Another 115 SPAMs on 31 Oct
Hi. Emails in the Spam folder are automatically deleted after 30 days. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you!

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.

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?Hi. The Spam folder automatically empties after 30 days, and the countdown starts from the moment those emails were sent to the Spam folder.

Spell check
In the old form of AOL, when you wrote an email, it would ask if you wanted to review it or send it. it would lighlight spelling errors, It nolonger does that or have spell check that I can find. I need that feature.
AOL Mail doesn't have a built-in grammar check feature, but most browsers do. Please check your browser settings.
