How can we improve AOL?

← AOL.com

Please bring back blocking or enable deletion as an option on a filter

Blocking of mails has been removed and filtering at the account level enabled. This has now resulted in many, many, many spam emails now come through sit seems the filtering function doesn't act on incoming items categorized as spam. Isay this as many of these spam items should be in Trash per filtering. BUT, even if went to Trash vs Spam, would still prefer totaling having these items deleted as was done with blocking vs placed in any folder at all. The amount of spam seems to be incrementing exponentially, and I can easily spend 1 hour - or more - deleting items in spam and then again from trash - and there are many that are repeat senders that if a filter intercept could delete vs sending to a folder would greatly reduce the number of manual reviews and multiple time to delete these unwanted and undesired emails.

    Every single day I get many, many spam emails, most of which are filthy dirty. I don't appreciate that AOL allows this. Since AOL has done away with the "block" feature, I now have to delete my spam file several times a day, many of the senders of this unwanted mail are repeat senders.

    The amount of spam/scam emails through AOL has become absolutely ridiculous. AOL needs to allow reporting the scammers, then AOL needs to investigate and block them. And we should be able to permanently block them. Sending them to a "folder" is completely useless.

    I have more than 10,000 emails. Is there a way to delete them other than 100 at a time?

  • RENEE MOORE commented  ·   ·  Report

    Delete "all" option, not 100 at a time.
    Currently it only allows you to delete or move emails 100 at a time. I have had this email since 1998. I have way too many emails to delete or move using 100 at a time. There needs to be an option like Outlook or gmail where you can select them all.
