Recently I started receiving a lot of spam, some are very nasty. How can I stop this?
Stop the spam.
Hi there,
While most spam should be caught by our Spam filters, occasionally some can slip through. If that does happen it's very important to mark the email as Spam. It lets our system learn that messages from a specific place are not good and helps us make AOL Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails. Additionally, you can create filters to send specific emails to Trash, on the webmail at mail.aol.com and they will work while on the app as well. Here's how to create filters: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-mail-settings

Unless asked about or for, all should be considered spam or junk mail!

NEW WAY OF CONTROLLING SPAM! PLEASE!
No reason to get over 100+ daily and some are of nature that is disgusting. I delete all and right away they start piling up again. -

You need to fix the spam filters. I called AOL and they had the audacity to suggest I pay to get tech support… in order to get the mailbox to behave as it should. I set up filters to send common junk words like “McAfee” and “Shark Tank” and “Mail Order Bride” to the Junk folder… and now AOL sends TONS of my legitimate emails to junk, when they don’t AT ALL match the filter I set up. So it either does way too little, or it does what I didn’t ask it to do. This is garbage and I’ll be closing this mailbox soon.

This is getting crazy that there are so many spam e-mails everyday! If AOL doesn’t care, then that’s fine, I’ll just migrate to a better e-mail provider.

Obvious spam emails keep showing up in my new mail and reporting them as Spam does nothing they are right back in the new mail. WHY?

There’s no spam filter on my email. It never has anything in my junk mail folder. There’s only junk mail in it, when I put it in there. GMAIL and outlook actually filter the mail.

To many attacks with no apparent action to block. This is an common problem on most commercial e-mail providers. Since the scammers are getting more clever, there needs to be a better mechanism to block these attempts.

Allow flags for phishing attempts & take action (e.g. block e-mail addresses and forward to authorities)

To reduce spam, allow filter to spam by keyword (e.g. Camp Lejeune)

AOL is not doing enough to protect us online from scams, dangerous products and fake reviews and we’re #JustNotBuyingIt
AOL needs to take action to protect us online. The failure to prevent rude, illegal, fake and corrupt SPAM has gone on too long. Action to prevent it and protect us and our children needs to be taken now. For other AOL users reading this, I suggest we join together and take legal action if AOL continue to fail us by not preventing fraudulent SPAM at source.

Allow to filter spam by blocking part emails.
I get loads of spam from emails like:
120548689@addtocartnow-j6m64.co.uk
120548689@addtocartnow-01dm0.co.uk
120548689@addtocartnow-04d54.co.ukHundreds of them blocked.
I want to be able to have a filter to block/delete all emails with "@addtocartnow" or "120548689@addtocartnow" in the address.
Half of my spam filters 1000 addresses is already used up by emails like this, with this offender being about half of the already blocked emails.

When is this company going to have basic privacy for personal accounts instead of treat them as PUBLIC. These mass shady emails need to stop. Do not respond with " we have spam" when an account gets this many in ONE HOUR is evident that AOL has a problem. These cannot be unsubscribed, replied to and quickly add themselves in the contacts section.
This is ONE hour worth.
