Block Spam needs to be reintroduced - but make it work AOL
AOL introduced an option to block incoming Spam, which came with their new email browser.
It didn't work, because my Spam emails increased from around 20 to over 150 per day. Most came from the same email addresses that AOL supposedly 'blocked'.
But now AOL has removed the 'block' option.
AOL - why not reintroduce a BLOCK SPAM filter, but this time install one that actually works?Here's an article with more information on how to control your spam:https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy

Can't receive mails from non-blocked senders... or from anyone.
Trying to recover my Facebook account, but Aol mail won't receive the confirmation code. Tried to send test mail from another account, won't receive that either. Have no filters, no blocked addresses, Facebook code IS NOT in Spam or elsewhere, my aol mail account simply doesn't receive messages. Need my Facebook account and for that need my aol mail to recover it. PLEASE RESOLVE THE ISSUE. Thanks in advance.

Please allow sorting by sender. Without this, the email is not usable to me, since I have to delete junk emails and do it by sender.
Please allow sorting by sender as in the old system. Without this, the email is not usable to me, since I have to delete junk emails daily and always sort by sender to do so.
Hi there. The option to sort by sender can be enabled by turning off the conversations. To do this, please go to Settings>More Settings>Viewing email>Group by conversation>turn it off. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at help.aol.com
Thank you,

WTF!!! We're begging for updates to the blocking features and AOL & YAHOO are pushing it off on UNSUBSCRIBING. YOU DUMB-*****, stop telling us to clink on links on suspicious / phishing emails... WTF!!!
Over the past 2 weeks, I've gotten 993 phishing emails and my limit of 1,000 blocks was reached in a matter of days.
YOU GUYS CAN'T BE THIS DUMB.... OR CAN YOU?
AOL & YAHOO ARE IDIOTS AND DON'T CARE ABOUT PROTECTING THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!!
HOW DO I REQUEST TO PERMANENTLY CLOSE MY ACCOUNTS!?!

Blocking contacts, sending contact emails to spam
Multiple email contacts have been blocked and they have called us to let us know they have been blocked and cannot send us emails anymore... WE NEED TO GET THESE EMAILS!!! Multiple contacts we are constantly in communications with are being sent to SPAM for no reason and if you click them as "NOT SPAM" theyll get sent back to the SPAM folder later in the day if you dont send them to a file. WE NEED THESE EMAILS TO NOT GO TO SPAM OR GET SENT BACK AFTER WE CLICK "NOT SPAM". WTF is going on AOL????

My promotional email has not been coming to the classic version for several months. Called several times on this issue. Not helpful! Someone told me to swith to the new version of AOL and it would be in a promotional folder like on google mail. Still not able to find it. I have resubscribed many times to promotional email and still not getting it. I am getting all my unwanted SPAM, hundreds a day but no promotional email that I want.

AOL & Yahoo SPAM Blocking Features Are A JOKE!!!
This is how AOL & Yahoo responded to customer suggestions about updating spam blocking features, then blocked the comments so nobody could respond...
AOL; Here's an article with more information on how to control our spam: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy
Yahoo; We automatically filter suspected spam messages, but if you’re still getting overwhelmed with emails mark them as spam or unsubscribe from mailing lists. Additional information can be found here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/sln28056.html
You dummies... CLICKING ON ANY LINKS INCLUDING THE UNSUBSCRIBE LINK COULD LEAD TO A VIRUS, MALWARE OR A TROJAN... THIS IS HORRIBLE ADVICE FROM SUPPORT... A EASY WAY FOR YAHOO & AOL…

Automatically delete all spam mail before it goes into any folder in my email account. That would protect everyone and stop the spam
Automatically delete all spam mail before it goes into any folder in my email account. That would protect everyone from fraudsters, financial exploitation, and stop the spammers from targeting AOL users. This would be easy to do on the server level. Also give individuals the ability to only accept emails that originate from preferred countries and from non spam server domains.

Fix Spam
In the past couple of weeks AOL has been placing emails from frequent contact in the Spam box. I chatted with AOL rep yesterday and he said if they aren't added as contacts in AOL they can be spam. I never added contacts in AOL before but started yesterday. Today lots more of my contact emails were placed in spam. So now I am trying to figure out how to turn off AOL spam feature because something has clearly happened recently that placed so many good emails in the AOL spam folder.
Hi there. Please mark these emails as Not Spam so these senders' future emails go directly to the right folder. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you!
