  3. AOL is suddenly populating old and deleted email addresses that no longer appear in my contact list. It isn't accepting my corrections.

    Please fix the contact list. Email addresses that I removed years ago are suddenly showing up again and now populating my TO box. I've double-checked the contact list and these old addresses are NOT in my contacts. Attempts to correct the problem are failing.

    We're glad you're here

  7. Contacts not sorting by last name properly

    When I click on the "Name" title to sort is alpha or reverse order, it is a mess....nothing is sorted correctly. I'm working on a Mac through Safari.

  10. Why were my groups from AOL GOLD not copied to AOL Mail? Rebuilding them in AOL Mail is not something that I even want to consider.

    Why did my GROUPS in AOL GOLD not move over to AOL MAIL? There is no way that I want to create these GROUPS over again!

    It should work now. Please try again.

    Also, please check if the groups are made under categories. Those will need to be moved by categories not all at once.

    Hope this helps!

  11. Rename Group

    Wanted to change a group from 2019 to 2020. Couldn't do it. Called and had the WORST experience with a tech named Ardi who couldn't help me and hung up!!!! This was after at least 35/40 minutes on the phone/computer. HORRIBLE!!!!!! I called again and spoke with a rep Asia. At least she tried to assist.. She had no idea how to do this so she made a new group and typed 78 emails into the new 2020 group. Really!!!!! Shame on AOL. Worst tech support ever! I cancelled my monthly subscription. And why can't I highlight the group name…

    Thanks for reaching out.

    While we are investigating situations like yours, we notice you’re using Edge 18.17763 and therefore we suggest you to try to use mail.aol.com from a different browser – try Firefox or Google Chrome.

    Thank you for your understanding.

  15. Unable to Edit Address Book/Contacts

    I have been informed on 12/18/19 that the AOL Contacts/AddressBook is no longer editable...........after a 2 hour nightmare with online chat, remote sessions and phone calls.

    They explained that it was a "migration issue" having something to do with Yahoo and AOL merging and that since then (almost a year ago)......any edit to an existing contact has not been saved. This is too ***** to be believed but this is what phone support told me after multiple consults with a "senior technician". I am PAYING for AOL--which is ridiculous enough--BUT they give you a Contact List that once a contact…

    We’re sorry to hear about your experience. It’s certainly our expectation and desire that you receive the highest quality service when working with customer support. We’re sad to hear that it sounds like you did not.

    Please go to mail.aol.com on an external browser (Safari, Chrome) and let us know if you are able to edit the Contacts.

  16. Contact List

    I have a question I could not find the answer to. In my list of contacts how can I add a field at the top? I would like to be able to see which group they are in (i.e., family, friends, co-workers, uncategorized) Please send me an answer *********@verizon.net

    You can go to mail.aol.com on a desktop computer or laptop. After logging in, click on “Contacts”, select the email addresses you want to create a list with. Then, on the top header select “New List”. Name the list, add contacts and then click on “Add list”.

  17. Reactivate Contacts Search

    Contact search was an option for YEARS. Why remove options? I it is very irritating to have to scroll!!!

    This feature is still available. On the left column click on “Contacts”, then in the box under “Compose” click on the small arrow and select Contacts from the drop-down menu. Once selected, type in the contact name and hit enter on the keyboard or click on the magnifying glass icon.

  18. fix fix fix ability to delete an email one time only

    delete the same email one time only to include all of my devices and one time only on desktop. And don't undelete items automatically I've checked to delete. you are just unchecking them So awful. I"m guessing gmail doesn't do that.

    And yes,I"ve already asked AOL support about deletion on one aol app does not delete on all aol apps on other devices. No solution.

    If you are using multiple email clients, in order to make sure that the mail settings are synced between devices, you need to make sure that your devices are set up in IMAP, not POP. Here’s more info on this: https://help.aol.com/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-pop3-and-imap

    Should you need help checking the email client settings, you can find instructions here:https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail
