The New Email Highlight Moves Down a Dozen Lines After Closing Emails.
Please fix the bug that causes the email highlight to move down a dozen lines on the New Mail page after closing read emails. This bug misleads users to see the 12th or so line of New Mails as the most current or most recently received email.

Post server and service problems, and major changes, so we can anticipate outages
Other large companies have a dashboard that shows the status of their various services. Can't you have something like that, so we don't have to rely on sites like DownDetector that show problems across the country, when they may only affect specific regions, or specific services.

Can you initiate an interim re-login without completely kicking me out?!
I sort of understand that you want to make sure logins are fresh for security reasons, esp for those of us who remain logged in for days at a time. The problem is that you simply kick me out to force a re-login, which is lazy and unnecessary. I'm working, I've got several items open, and I've got a contingent of 6-8 searches on tabs across the top (love that feature by the way) that I reference often. I will often launch a search as a reminder for something I need to address but don't have time at the moment…

regular expressions in filters
Add Regular Expression function to Filters.
Regular Expressions are essentially a user-accessible programming language that makes Filters more precise/accurate/powerful.
For example, "John" is not the same as "John Smith", but, if I ask for "John", I get both, plus "John Jones", etc. But, "^John$" means just "John" on the line.
RegEx may also significantly speed up AOL's processing and reduce the number of filters people want, which reduces AOL's processing load. For example, "Home *Warranty" (notice the " *" which matches zero or more spaces) matches "HomeWarranty", "Home Warranty", and "Home Warranty". This is very useful for rerouting junk mail…

windows xp
AOL Mail does not work with Windows XP.
I use the Firefox Browser on my Windows XP desktop.
In May 2024 I could see my emails using AOL Mail in the browser.
Now in June 2024 it will not show me all my emails.
I did open an email, but it would not let me close the email.
On the right side of the screen there used to be ads. Now that part of the screen is blank.
Would like to go back to pre May 2024 AOL Mail, or please correct the AOL Mail software so it will work…908th ranked -

Sorting emails after searching
After you search for a word, etc in emails. There are only 4 options to sort. I need, and I would think most people would need, to search by individual email sender. If it is a common word you get lots or returns and can't wade through all of it easily. Should actually be able to sort by each column and be done. It is 2024 afterall, not 1990.

give support staff the answers to the info required to verify ownership of accounts.
Give support staff access to the info required to verify account ownership such as security questions and account owners names. If support staff had access to the security question answers, they could help account holders and avoid getting the account suspended or temporarily locked. support staff should have unlimited attempts to security questions back up info and user names.

show email ADDRESSES, not aliases in mail list
There is no way to show the actual sender ADDRESS in the new "improved" mail window. This makes it impossible to verify a sender or identify phishing scams.

Autocorrect spelling while typing (key words: WHILE TYPING)
I've sent several requests for restoration of autocorrect spelling while typing. It works fine in this feedback field. PLEASE restore it to the email composition. It's ridiculous to have lost it in your new and disruptive format. The idea of going to the bottom and selecting "Check spelling" is absurd. Autocorrect works - evident here. Please please please restore autocorrect while typing to the email composition. (During this typing, my spelling was autocorrected at least six times because I type fast.) Come on, techies. Fix it. Restore it.
149th rankedWe recommend you check your browser's settings to have the ''Check for spelling errors when you type text on web pages'' option enabled/turned on.

Improve customer service, less greedy for fees. Find internal bugs
AOL tech support phone system is not sensitive to respond. Some time I need to repeat multiple times to get through. I had a bad experience with your technician, had difficulties to get through, when I put number 1 in the survey, it automatically changed to 4. Some people designed a software to cheat the AOL administration. AOL service is deteriorating, Greedy for fees but not to improve quality. One tech hanged up my phone call. An investigation is needed to find this bug. Please learn how Gmail is doing, to find why you are left behind.
