automatically delete spam mail.
If someone gets mail that AOL designate as spam, why send it to our spam folder in the first place just delete it.

They'll say that non-spam email may end up in the spam folder and be deleted. I'd like to take my chances but AOL doesn't give us the option.

Absolutely correct. If I hadn't selected AOL years ago I would get rid of them now just because of the spam.

This idea was posted almost 2 years ago, and it is a very SIMPLE suggestion! Your programmers are not capable of doing this...or perhaps it comes down to that you may be losing some money, because I am sure you're getting paid to allow these message thru to the users.

Well, occasionally, legit mail goes to my spam folder, so I have to check every day just in case. But if I hadn't had the same e-mail address for 20+ years, I'd get rid of it. AOL is garbage now. People have told me legit e-mails are bouncing back to them, and newsletters I like have taken me off their list because their e-mails I never got are being "deleted without being read". I comb through my spam folder every day to see if something legit slipped through. My spam folder used to have 10-30 e-mails at a time. It now has FIVE HUNDRED. AOL used to purge spam e-mails after seven days; now they take A MONTH OR LONGER. They are utterly useless. Are they even doing anything to combat this ridiculous surge of spam that has bombed AOL users these last several months? I'm so glad I canceled my account with them and went to just free e-mail a couple years ago. I'm only sorry I was suckered into paying for as long as I did.

I receive multiple (double, sometimes triple, sometimes quadruple) spam mail on the same subject. Can you suggest how I can prevent this from happening? Thanks, MFC

I am tired of getting so many spams. 17 of them in the past two days and the day is not yet over. Can you remove them automatically or eliminate spam from my email altogether?

Why does 'sender blocked' still wind up in my spam folder? Isn't the whole point to BLOCK it???

Bad idea!!!!. The spam filter doesn't work why would you want it deleting your email.

The spam filter works quite well but occasionally first time emails and subscriptions end up in spam. Therefore it is a good thing that spam is NOT deleted automatically but that we have the chance to look through it and retrieve useful and important emails. I have no problem with checking my spam folder daily and deleting whatever is in it upon review. There is no perfect algorithm for spam, particularly as people subscribe to and receive different types of emails. Often notifications from orders I place or subscriptions I have end up in spam, as the filter picks up on the email coming from a commercial source. Very important to keep spam available to us until we can check it, retrieve emails that ended in the folder by error and then delete it by choice -not by default. Without the ability to check my spam folder I would lose important and valuable emails.

The problem with AOL deleting everything in Spam/Junk is one finds valuable email in the Spam file, time after time. Most of my inbox is mail forwarded from me to me from Spam to my Inbox. Spam or Inbox seems to be a random choice.

Why does AOL send deleted Spam/Junk to Trash? Seems like a promotion. Isi it my imagination , or do alleged upgrades make things worse?

AOL continues to expose my family to unacceptable adult content DAILY!!!!
My family is not exposed to the *** industry in any brick and mortar nor the USPS.
MY FAMILY SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO THE *** INDUSTRY ON MY EMAIL ACCOUNT!!!I SUSPECT AOL IS BEING PAID ENOUGH BY THE *** INDUSTRY TO MAKE UP FOR ‘LOOSING PAID ACCOUNTS’ DUE TO *** EXPOSURES
