  2. email keeps getting hacked

    I have paid for this email for many years. As someone paying for a service, I expect to get service. My email has been hacked three times in the past three months. I am tired of constantly changing passwords, receiving multitudes of spam mails.....which are multiplying rapidly, and needing to constantly monitor your performance. Please, fix your extremely weak processes.

  3. post a visible link to password on every page on the Left column

    I lose time trying to re-learn how to change the password, why do you hide every feature, one has to lose so much time opening different links to figure how to do a simple change of password...will you ever grow up....? You are over 25, behaving like 6 years old....

  4. i am not receiving emails that I want to receive

    I accidentally marked two opened emails as spam instead of deleting them. Although I moved them back to new mail within seconds I am no longer receiving the emails. There seems to be nowhere to add safe senders or fix this issue. Very frustrating that something I want to receive gets marked as spam one time and poof it's gone, impossible to fix. However, there are things I move to spam timeand time again. How can I fix this and receive the mail I want to receive? Id like a response please.... with some help! My email is ******@aol.com

  6. Suddenly my Facebook emails are no longer going into my Facebook folder.

    I am still getting my Facebook emails but they are now flooding my in box rather than going straight to the folder I created for them. The filter has been in place for a long time and all of the sudden this week it no longer works.

  14. GDPR Legal Compliance

    I've just spent several hours struggling to get into my webmail without giving my consent (which you don't have) to personalised marketing. The access screen pre-selects all categories, makes provision of other services conditional on accepting, and buries the controls to turn it all off behind a dozen different pages and Captcha tests. This is contrary to the Information Commissioner's Office guidance on how to comply with GDPR law, and appears on the face of it to be illegal. Anything requiring consent should be off by default, boxes should not be pre-ticked, giving consent should not be bundled with other…

  16. You have today stopped me adding new email addresses to my aol mail contact list. Why?

    In the last hour I have entered into the aol mail contacts list two new email addresses and personal details from people who have approved me doing so. I am able to add the information no problem but
    when I click on the folder name 'Wff 2017' it reads null addresses and no information is there. I would be obliged if you would stop this and return me to normality with the aol mail account. My email account is - ******************@aol.com and I have been with AOL for many many years.
