Contact e-mail
I have an established group. Why does all my contacts show aol addresses when I send a group DL message?
Make sure that the email addresses are complete, including @DomainExample.com at the end of the username. In case the domain name is not included in the email address, the username will be treated as an AOL account and @aol.com will automatically be added at the end.

Go to Options – Mail Settings – and from the Contacts section, select the Display Order, and the Sort by.

Only use this account from Jan through May how can i keep the address from being deleted from year to year?
I only use this account from January through May. It is for a National Organization called The Order of Daedalian. They give out a national award every year to any high school that has ROTC. I contact them at the beginning of the year to see if they want the reward. The ROTC programs are run by retired Military personnel who at some point retire again. So i have to reach out every year I cannot just send them. How can I keep the addresses from disappearing every year>
To keep this account and not having those issues every year, you need to access the account at least once every 12 months.

GET REAL!!
Contacts are becoming increasingly harder to edit and save. I spend way, way to much time trying to enter information only to have the dreaded errors come up. You have forced me to send to my 280 legitimate club members in 4 different sends just to get one message out. I get returns on many of these e-mails. I have an idea... fix it before I leave. It's not like you haven't heard all this before from many others besides me. Sad because I have stuck with you since '99 and this has been my 1st and main e-mail account.…
We are unable to replicate your issue while editing contacts. We suggest that you clear your cookies and cache or try a different browser.
Unfortunately, what you’re looking for in bulk sending is no longer offered in the current version of AOL Mail. If you’ve received a notification that a limit of the number of sent emails was reached or you’ve sent to too many contacts, you’ll need to wait before you can send more emails.
Because of our antispam policies, we do not disclose the specific limits on the number of emails you can send or the number of contacts you can email at once. Nor do we disclose the waiting period before you can continue sending emails. I apologize for the inconvenience.

1st or Primary Contact's Email vs 2nd or Seconday Contact's Email
When I put a the first character of a person's email into the address line I get all the emails the person is associated with. I have gone into the "edit contact" many, many times to put the primary email of my contacts FIRST. I save and usually save several times to be sure but it keeps putting the 1st or primary email of my contact SECOND. Why won't it save!? I do not get an error, it says it was "saved", it just keeps changing it back!
For each contact you can add up to 3 email addresses, using the ScreenName, Email 1 and Email 2 fields. The ScreenName field will always be the primary address, but if the field is left empty the ‘Email 1’ will become the primary email address.
