Contacts sync
I've deleted obselete contact details, but in the app these always come up as suggested meaning I've sent emails that are never received (people keep the same username but change their server). Why won't the app sync with contacts in desktop? It's very frustrating.
Please remove and re-add your account. Here’s an article that could help you: https://help.aol.com/articles/add-or-remove-accounts-in-the-aol-app-for-android

It says 'error loading address book'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.

Contact e-mail
I have an established group. Why does all my contacts show aol addresses when I send a group DL message?
Make sure that the email addresses are complete, including @DomainExample.com at the end of the username. In case the domain name is not included in the email address, the username will be treated as an AOL account and @aol.com will automatically be added at the end.

Blocking An Email Contact?
How do i get to block an email contact using aol.com? I have two ex-friends that keep on harassing me.
In order to block a specific sender, go to Options – Mail Settings – Spam Settings and add the email addresses in the box below “Block Mail from Addresses I Specify”, then click Save Settings at the bottom, and in case you receive unwanted emails in the Inbox, mark them as Spam.

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.
Hello there,
You can delete these suggestions by clicking ’’x’’ in the drop down list when you type in the ’’To’’ field.

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!

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…
We are sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with one of our tech support agents and we want to fix this. In order to do so we need to know more information about the issue.

Edit Contacts/Address Book
I have left a post twice in the last week on this topic,
the first time, you merged it with another topic that was closed to comments and gave me no response,
the second time.......you ask me a question in your response today and then have closed the post to comments so I cannot answer your question.....
how are you being helpful if you prevent my ability to engage in conversation about the topic???
STOP CLOSING MY POSTS TO COMMENTS until the issue is resolved please !!!
Please go to mail.aol.com on an external browser (Safari, Chrome) and let us know if you are able to edit the Contacts there.
