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.

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?

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

Thank God I never paid for this service. AOL is useless, always has been. Now they are twinned with Yahoo, another SH*T company and owned by Verizon. Verizon is picking up a lot of cheap losers!

I’ve used AOL email for almost 20 years. I used to get 15-20 Junk emails/day. In the latest several months, my Junk has increased to 100-200 emails/day. What’s going on? I’m ready to dump AOL for a more efficient email. Any solutions out there?

AOL is abusing my mailboxes as a vehicle to distribute unacceptable adult content exposing my whole family to sexually explicit content
My other email services NEVER let this trash reach my mailboxes!!!
I closed my aol paid account for this reason.
I’m suspecting that the *** industry is paying AOL to abuse members in this fashion. -

AOL used to have a option that allowed users to block unwanted/junk/spam email and automatically have them deleted. AOL has changed that option to dump such emails into the junk/spam folder and now requires a user to manually empty junk/spam folder. AOL should go back to the earlier setup where a user could
block unwanted emails and automatically detlete them -

You think maybe AOL its-self is sending all that spam?? Hmmmm..

AOL doesn't care otherwise that option would be available as a setting. That's why I'm cancelling my account

I am having the same issues as many here. I agree it's suddenly got far worse. I used to check through spam to ensure nothing has strayed into there but now with all the obscene ones I feel disgusted just looking through. I have used AOL since 1995 and I think it may be time to move on.
I wonder if there is any way of reading AOL mail through a different email app that perhaps has better spam settings? -

Probably like the Phone Companies- AOL is Making A Fortune from Spam Co's selling Thousands of Names & Email address to Compnies for Advertising.. Its a Big Business! And I even got a Blocking Coredless Phone and it Blacks Telemarketers- upto 1,000 and then starts over..for only $50 for the 2 Handset and Anwsering and Call Blocking Cordless p phone from AT & T.
It reduces Telemarketing Calls getting thru by over 90% and after 2 mos., down to getting only 1-2 a day and none on wknds anymore.. I need the same from AOL , other -Bud-Wizer I will Leave AOL.. Its Annoying to have to To got my Spam folder and Delete ALL( ave over 100) Now..Doing that 2x a day( 1st in AM and Last at Nite..BaHumbug..! -
Used to get only a Dozen Spam Emails, but since Sept-2019? ave over 100! How come? and I want to Automatically Delete my Spam Email-don't care if some are good emails- they now to resend and I have all my Important Email Addresses in my accept file
