How can we improve AOL Mail?

← AOL Mail

report malware

Do we have a way of reporting spam/malware to you (and then, hopefully, you do something about it)? For example, I've gotten two messages today, telling me that my email is going to be canclled or whatever, and these messages are apparently coming from other AOL accounts.

    Keep getting spam mail saying if I do not reply within a certain date they will close down my e-mail account, normally from someone at prodigy.
    Is there somewhere on my account that will let me update preferences.

    I received a message from AOL webmail.com (********@*********) saying that my account is going to be closed. Is this correct?

    We have a new unified Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

    Dear Member,

    In June 2018, Yahoo and AOL joined forces to create Oath, a media and technology company with a dynamic house of global brands, and a part of Verizon. It's an exciting venture that we believe will bring a host of new innovations and digital experiences for our users. With Verizon, Oath can provide you with better experiences and services.

    As part of this collaboration, we're asking all users of Oath owned sites and services to agree to the new unified Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which will help us continue to deliver and build on great digital experiences for you.

    Indemnity for Non-Personal Use. If you are using our Services on behalf of a company, business or other entity, or if you are using our Services for commercial purposes, we’ve added an indemnity provision, which requires you and the entity to protect us against certain legal actions.

    Is there any chance of blocking the continuous spam reference AOL Oath updates, I must get at least 6 a day and they really are annoying, I have tried changing passwords but they still get through

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Make it VERY EASY to find the Abuse Reporting Address to use for reporting AOL accounts, used for SPAMMING/Phishing, where the message was sent to a NON AOL ADDRESS!!!!!
    Instead your search requires 20 minutes OR MORE of useless searching to find the address (IF I DO FIND IT!)

  • Sheila Woodard commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is not really an idea. I received and email 9-22-19 that went to spam that said it was from AOL and my account would be deactivated but the address looked suspicious and I deleted it.
    I received another email like it on 9/25/19 that also went to spam and I deleted it also. I just want to make sure my account is okay.
