Sometimes a password change occurs for reasons beyond our control. The policy of not allowing a previous password - or even one similar STINKS and aught to be changed to allow perhaps not the last password, but SOME previous password... I mean how many passwords are we EXPECTED to remember???

STOP SPAMMING YOUR CUSTOMERS
AOL has settings to allow its users to opt out of marketing, and they clearly are meaningless. I have previously opted out of all marketing, including for NordVPN, but yet I still get the solicitations for that specifically. Furthermore, there is no opt out of all, so when a new category is added it defaults to enabled for marketing.
This is ******** and you know it. Stop being scum and do the right thing.
AOL may send marketing offers by email. You may choose to opt out of receiving all marketing emails or by specific product being promoted by setting the appropriate preference to "OFF". If you set marketing emails to "OFF", you may still receive important information about your AOL features and services or your account by email.

Stop deleting email from my trash folder.
I want you to stop deleting my emails from my trash folder. I place them there to get them out of my inbox, but that does not mean I am ready for them to disappear. You took 100's of my inbox emails and disposed of them in my trash folder, and then AOL deleted them. Until I figured out what happened, it was now too late to recover. I pay for this service and should have every right to keep what I want for as long as I want. Would you please remove or allow us to turn off the…
By default, both the Trash and Spam folders empty automatically to keep your account tidy. You cannot change the Trash and Spam settings.
Trash deletion frequency – Trash is deleted after 7 days.
Spam deletion frequency – Spam is deleted after 30 days. -

Email address hacked?
I'm sending email to friends who tell me the email address they are seeing is not mine (mine is *@verizon.net and they are geting some odd address *@verizon.net) - wondering if I've been hacked? Wondering what I should do?
This is your email alias, which was automatically created when your Verizon email account was setup.
The alias in no way changes your user name and does not create a new mailbox; it becomes the mailing name associated with your primary account and is immediately ready to use in order to send and receive email on.
To setup your default Send From address in AOL Mail, open the Compose window then click the drop down arrow from your email address. If you need additional assistance, please contact us at help.aol.com

Get rid of thr ******* UK setting, when i am located in the USA..What the heck is wrong with you dummies?
When you see incorrect local information (such as the news or weather for a different location) on your Welcome Screen, you may want to verify your location is correct. This can be done by making sure your correct City, State is in the top left of your Welcome Screen.
If it is not, please click “Update Your Location” under Local News and Weather, enter your Zip Code and press Save.
If this does not work, please clear your cache, cookies, and history.
Here is an article for instructions: http://aol.it/1KTJUg6

I am currently finding that when I restart my computer and go to aol.com, I am still signed in.
Prior to the last few weeks, when I closed my email and restarted my computer, I would not be signed in to AOL when I went to aol.com.
Fix this. It is ridiculous to keep me signed in unless I specifically log out. You are creating an extra step for me to close my email and keep it safer.
I click on Mail to sign in to my email. I don't click in to Log In. I don't know what the difference is, but there must be one as you offer both options.
Again, fix this. Why make it more…
