Tiny font size
My incoming emails are almost impossible to read because the font is so small (2mm high). I have enabled the Readability mode but that doesn't help. Thanks
You can increase or decrease the font size by holding down the “Ctrl” key and scroll down or up using the mouse wheel. Another method is holding down the “Ctrl” key and press “+” for increasing or “-” for decreasing. If you want to change the font size when composing emails please go to Options→Mail Settings→Compose→Rich Text / HTML.

Mac mail keeps randomly redownloading from server read and deleted mail from mac
Mac mail keeps randomly redownloading from server read and deleted mail from mac
Please delete and re-add your account in the Mac Mail app. 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 @verizon.net 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 will have to create a unique application-specific password for each one of your email applications, by following the steps from the section titled “How do I set…

Verizon Account Users/Accounts Not working as of August 5th.
Verizon email account users. As of 8/5/2021 Verizon emails are not able to be received and or sent successfully. This occurs with any third-party email clients. It's an AOL server issue. It is not a password, or server setting issue. AOL, please investigate your email server for Verizon account users.

My Verizon/Thunderbird emails stopped. Is the corporate sabotage? Tried a different client, same thing. Not Thunderbird, not my password.
My Verizon/Thunderbird emails stopped. Is the corporate sabotage? Tried a different client, Em Client, same thing. Not Thunderbird, not my password. When I asked for help I received a message stating no help available due to Covid. The next page showed me a 24/7 help link for $4.99 per month. I do not want to use the service any longer. Looking for alternatives without hassle and ads.

Receiving OLD email
Am suddenly receiving emails from merchants dated 2018, 2019 (it is now 2021) all having to do with payments received or invoices waiting for payment. I have checked with one merchant and they have no record of having sent the email and I am paid in full with them. Since these emails are from various merchants with whom I've done business in the past, it looks like the problem source could be AOL instead of the merchant. Could you please look into this and reply? I do not see any other way on your site to report this issue.

delete
You need a command to delete all the e-mails in a folder easily. Trying to click the box on 800+ e-mails to delete them is silly.
If you’d like to delete all emails in a folder, please check the box in front of the ’’From’’ column and click Delete.
To delete multiple emails:
1. In your Mailbox window, press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard, and then select the emails that you wish to delete.
2. Click Delete.
To delete multiple consecutive emails:
1. In your Mailbox window, press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard, and then click the first email that you wish to delete.
2. Now, hold the Shift key down, and click the last email in the list. This will select all the emails between the first email and the last email that you have selected.
3. Click Delete.

By default, we block access to AOL Mail from outdated apps that could leave your account vulnerable. If we sent you an email indicating that your app is using outdated security protocols or you’re unable to log in from an older app, you still have several options available to you.
If you prefer to continue accessing your AOL email on your current third-party email application, including the default email application on your mobile phone, please see details below on how to ensure it’s syncing with the latest secure sign-in method: https://help.aol.com/articles/allow-apps-that-use-less-secure-sign-in

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.

Thankis for reaching out.
Not receiving any emails or if these were sent to your Trash directly can indicate that your account may have been accessed by someone else.
