All you have to do is highlight the address and add it to your block list. Right click on the email ( don't open it ), and a window will pop up, go down to View Message Source, and click on that. The spam email will open, scroll down to find the address that matches the one in your email, copy it. Close that window and go back to your email OPTIONS, click that, and find Mail Settings. Click on that and you will see Block Senders. Click on that, then paste the spam email address there, and hit Save Settings. Sounds lengthy, but it's easy. Of course, an easier way would be nice. I get lots of **** emails, I never open them, they are all the same. White wife rides African priests. Disgusting.

AOL needs to have a better SPAM blocking app. Opened up Spam folder and had over 30 spam messages that I never want to see.

How many pages of garbage do I have to look at every day when I only wanted to check email? I'm going to stop paying you if I have to keep looking at ads I do not want to see.

I've had 18 spam messages so far today. I've got 254 spam messages in my spam folder in the past 19 days. I've had my email account with Netscape / AIM / AOL for many, many years and I have never seen spam like the present..

Agreed. Why aren't AOL doing this already? We are all getting fed up with the huge quantity of spam and no other email service has this problem.

I have received an email from jpoulin@gwi.net threatening to close down my AOL account in a week or so. Being sent from that email address, it looks like spam. Please advise me if it is spam.

AOL Spam filer is useless! besides, I do not see ANY effort from AOL to filter them. I received 20 to 30 spam a day from the SAME company even though they change the origin www you can see they have the same format, text, and useless email address to request stop spam. AOL email is the worst

I received an email "thank you for renewing your subscription to GEEK SQUAD which I did not do, the "e-mail for AOL to report such emails should be clearly posted for its users"

I am receiving email from female *** solicitors and from all kinds of spam advertisers, we really need an easy way to eliminate unwanted emails. If I go more than one day deleting spam I will have over 200 the next time I log in. This takes entirely too much time, time that I just don't have to waste. I am seriously thinking of canceling my membership and getting a free email service.

Why on earth would they block spam? Verizon purchased AOL (Oath Inc.) in 2016 for the specific use as a platform for advertising. Doesn't take them many steps to sell/use email addresses to increase their 'advertising' range for those companies that are willing to pay them.
