  1. Don't Add Words/Letters for Me

    Good day,
    When I am typing out an email, the computer will occasionally complete the word before I am done typing or will add words that I may type next. I know it is trying to be helpful, but it is totally distracting. Some people may like this feature, but I find it annoying. I am not saying to totally get rid of it. But maybe there can be an off option for those that don't want to use it.

    Thank you.

  2. Add spell check to new aol mail

    My mail was recently switched to the new mail system. I like it and would like to retain it, but it is missing spell check. I have found numberous closed threads about spell check, but none state whether or not spell check wil be added to new aol mail. Please answer this question. Will new aol mail have spell check, and if so, when?

    Hi there. We appreciate your positive feedback about the new AOL version! Regarding the spell check feature, this is linked to your browser, so if you're using Chrome, please go to the 3 dots button from the top right corner, select Settings, then Languages, and on Spell check, you can select which option works best for you. 

  3. Why does spell check use British spelling instead of USA?

    Use USA english dictionary spelling rather than the British. Humor, not humour, Catalog, not catalogue. Get the idea?

  4. slow AOL

    At some point in everyday AOL slows to a crawl - 2 - 3 seconds for a keystroke. It is impossible to get anything done. What is the problem?
    If this is not corrected I and many other will choose another email platform.

    Hi there,

    Most latency issues are due to software being out of date. I would suggest trying another web browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

    Hi there,

    We notice this behavior when an outdated web browser is being used. I would suggest checking for the latest browser update or trying Chrome or Firefox.

  6. Old Account

    I have social media and some MMORPG accounts that I have not played in a good while. This time spent away has made me forget some passwords, but I have also forgotten about my email as the recovery.

    Is there anyway this can be done? This is my account. It's tamashi45@aol.com.

    Are there security questions in place? This account was made when I was a child.

    It should have an email to reset a password from myspace received within the past week.

    Thank you for any information you can offer,

  7. There is no way I can check for spelling for my mail

    There is no way to check for misspelling when I log on to mail and then go to compose like you said to click on for misspelling before I send it.

    You may just need to adjust the zoom settings in your web browser. Hold down the CTRL key and press the + key at the same time until the text looks right. You can also hold down CTRL and press the 0 key at the same time to reset the zoom to default.

  19. Composing emails

    Would like to see a button where we can select an out of office with dates we will be away, and also have a signature place where we can include a phrase that goes out with our emails. Used to have this with Verizon, now its not available and I miss it lots. Can you do this? Many thanks.

    When entering an incomplete email address (without @domainexample.com at the end) the address book will treat it as an AOL username. To avoid this, we recommend, first adding the contacts in your address book, as individual contacts, then add the new contacts to the list. When creating the individual contacts, you can type the email address and the nickname into their own separate fields.
