Let ``read'' messages stay in New Mail until I delete them!
Do NOT delete New Mail as soon as a message is read! This is very annoying and does not happen in gmail, which I prefer. Allow the user to hold the message in New Mail, delete the message or send it to Old Mail. Otherwise keep all New Mail messages until the USER moves them. I spend an hour a day searching for messages in Old Mail that I want to keep after I read them.

new automatic settings and changes are absolutely unappreciated. this will make me leave AOL for good and move to another email source

I know you can click on keep as new so AOL does not automatically delete mail once it has been opened, but I don't want AOL to make that decision for me. Sometimes I forget to click keep as new and then I lose the email. I have times I search and search and the message did not go to any folder, it just completely disappears. There should be a setting where you can choose if you want the mail to be auto deleted or not. The default should be the message is kept until the user deletes it. After all it is MY mail

My read e-mail goes into my "Old" mail. I can let it go there or choose to send it to one of my folders. If I chose to delete it and then change my mind, I can click on its box and go to "More.." to send it to any of my folders, at least, until I decide to empty/delete my deleted files. In that case, click on the "From" box at the top of the list, choose "delete" and it cleans out that folder. You may have to change mail settings to stop it from automatically deleting read messages by clicking on "Options".

I agree. Not seeing mail as I used to have to go looking too much. I am 71 years old and have been on AOL.mail for a lot of years not seeing recommendation when new books come out on authors I have selected. Not happy at all. Would look for a new source but all my friends and family are on aol so I cannot change as they would have, and to delete and email when I have read it I save the important ones to go back like a dr appt etc.

I too have this problem! Has AOL made changes again and NOT told us about them? I am getting little mail where I would normally be receiving at least 100 per day! What is going on?

I hate that emails are deleted automatically without my consent. I hate that emails are moved from the inbox to trash without my consent. I have had my Verizon.net address since I started using a computer but I am seriously considering changing it even though it is inconvenient.
Also your web site is awful and lacks preference choices to customize my usage needs.
Please fix things. -

All of the emails prior to October 2019 have disappeared from my inbox. This is the second time in 2 years that this complete purge has occurred. Has anyone found a solution to this really annoying AOL feature? I usually have about 100 emails I want to maintain access to without filing them in a folder.

Please restore the old and new email folders so that a user can keep the emails that they need to, once read. New emails that have been read should be kept in the new emails folder until the user chooses to delete or move them.
AOL or whoever is running the service now should not be deleting items arbitrarily as they do not know the context that an email, even an old one, has been kept and their actions could be damaging to the user.
