I tried to vote for a post with the same issue but the vote button wouldn't work. I believe it is ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR that we cannot deactivate that crazy spam filter you have. One of my email addresses is used for emergency management and disaster relief coordination. Your filter has marked several extremely important messages as spam recently thereby delaying important responses. I have addressed this before with negative results. I stayed on when you people acquired my email accounts only because I wanted to keep my Verizon address and not have to go through the process of changing my address that I have had for over 30 years but I am going to have to go through this I guess as your system is so user UNFRIENDLY. Some examples of my complaint. The FEMA daily operations report which comes out daily 365 days a year. Every once in a while it goes to spam. I just found two messages sent by the state VOAD president (VOAD being a disaster relief organization) in the spam folder. This delays response to important matters affecting diaster victims and this is someone with whom I communicate regularly. These are just a couple of ridiculous examples of how this spam system works. Of course I can always count on receiving all the messages from online phishermen attempting to get my information as well as ambulance chasers looking to sue someone and let us not forget all the snake oil salesmen selling God knows what. It would be so much easier for me to do my own filtering by using the delete button. I know this is probably an exercise in futility and I'll probably end up closing the account but I thought I would try one more time. Of course I will be glad to also get the message out about this as far and wide as I can to steer clear of aol because they believe THEY should control your account and not you.

Just now, I am trying to send an email from my tablet and I want to attach a file that resides in the tablet in the documents folder. The only attachment it allows me to attach is a picture that exists or take a new picture and attach it. How very very stupid is that!!!! AOL is a darn dinosaur that does not deserve to exist!!!

Spam is nonstop and I am unable to find any way to block senders. I have been an aol user for years but am close to changing. The spam problem seems to be of great importance to everyone, consider you users please, provide a means to block spam senders.

I have had Aol since it was netscape. This spam folder is redicilous compared to gmail.
Common dump the spam before it get dumped in my spam folder. I know it can be done because I see very very few spam messages using gmail. -

Cannot find filters in Settings. There is NOT a “more settings” option. Spam appears daily in my inbox. Looking at other options besides AOL email.

I've complained about this and all it's accomplished is that my other accounts get blocked from making any more complaints

I am 70 yrs old and have been with AOL since it was dial up access. Someone has put my email address on a sexual dating list, I am constantly receiving pictures and requests to hook up. Most of this is in my junk mail box, but sometimes in the in mail box. I receive fifty to a hundred a day. How do I stop this? Please help!!!

There was a time where the junk mail wasn’t entering the regular inbox so often. This is now a regular occurrence and it’s beyond annoying. They’re being moved to junk everyday now!! I have a primary email with yahoo and this doesn’t happen nearly as much. I am looking to delete this email altogether.

I have hundreds of blocked phone numbers and addresses listed on my Mac yet I continue to receive email messages sent by what appear to be the same blocked addresses.
First a question - are addresses marked and listed as blocked in Apple mail (linked to my AOL account) blocked by the AOL mail server?
My idea - read and adhere to the list of blocked addresses and do not post messages from them. Why bother to allow a user to block addresses if mail from these addresses is not blocked. -
