keep getting spam from "blocked" senders
I keep getting SPAM in my folder from @kellykat.com. I've blocked these emails multiple time, but still they come. I'm getting more and more SPAM in my inbox, which I move to SPAM. You always ask if I want to "unsubscribe." I never subscribed to these domains. They are just trying to get AOL to give them legitimate email addresses. Wise up!
Hi. We're sorry to hear you're receiving spam emails! We have some solutions for you, please refer to this article to learn how to best manage unwanted emails: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy We also added additional security features for AOL Mail: https://help.aol.com/articles/additional-security-features-in-aol-mail Moreover, the block feature is best used for people, not spam, since spammers can use spoofed accounts. This means, what you see and add to your blocked list might not be the actual sender address. If you need assistance, you can reach out to us at https://help.aol.com/contact/

Blocking SPAM
For a short time - a couple of weeks? - there was a feature on AOL that allowed block and delete SPAM emails with one click. This was the BEST feature ever, and I LOVED it. At last! AOL was doing it right. I was able to click all the bunch of emails - and could send back to regular mail anything that made it to the SPAM folder that was legitimate - and the with one click delete and block all the other senders. I could even see the senders names just to double check. This was the MOSt…

AOL does not update
I will see that I have a new email, but when I click on "new mail" nothing shows UNLESS I go up to the "refresh button" on my browser. THEN the new mail will show. Very bad web design.
Hi. Fix problems when an AOL website isn't working:
Start with the first step, then see if your problem is resolved before moving on to the next.
Clear your browser's cache.
Update your browser.
Restart your computer.
Make sure that JavaScript is enabled.
Disable browser enhancements.
Temporarily disable antivirus, antispyware, and firewall products.
See if the AOL service works from another computer or mobile device.
Reset your browser to default settings.

TAKE YOUR FU CKING SORRY AND STUFF IT UP YOUR FU CKING A$$
FIX THE GODD@MNED PROBLEM YOU WORTHLESS CO CK SUCKERS
Getting unwanted emails or spam is frustrating. While most spam emails are being caught by our spam filters, occasionally some can slip through.
When this happens, it's very important to mark the email as spam, then our system will learn that messages from a specific place are not good and helps us make AOL Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails.

simplify
I cannot make heads or tails of how to switch from my old PAID account to whatever new set up you have. I had ad free. I had all the bells and whistles. Now it's all gone, I'm still paying the fees and I cannot understand a darn thing. Please, make one page with all the options where account holders can just click on what they want or don't want. All these different pages and different go to things is slowing down the entire program. Please, just simplify. It's email, not a new, 3D adventure game.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY AT SIGN IN NEED VERIFICATION
Stop the DAILY WE HAVE NOTICED UNUSUAL ACTIVITY VERIFICATION! I get this daily!! So sick of it. There's no UNUSUAL activity! It's me, it's always me.....my internet just changes where I get my signal on daily basis!
Hi. If there's something unusual about your sign in or recent activity, we'll ask you to go through another verification step after you've entered the correct password. This helps protect your account from unauthorized access. You may be prompted to get a verification code on your AOL app, recovery phone number, or recovery email address for any of the following reasons:
AOL notices suspicious account activity.
You're using an unfamiliar browser or device.
You're traveling away from your usual location.
You sign in while using a VPN or a proxy server.
You've logged in with a private or incognito window.
There are many attempts to sign in with incorrect passwords.
The "First time signing in from this device" message appears.
You've cleared your browser history or data cache including cookies.

Allow filters to reroute emails to "NEW EMAIL"
Please allow filters to reroute emails to "NEW EMAIL" which are getting auto delivered to SPAM!!
Hi there. The more often you mark these emails as Not Spam, the more you train your personal mail filter to recognize them as wanted emails. Additionally, make sure these senders are added to your Contacts. If you need additional assistance, please contact us on Twitter at @AOLSupportHelp or on Facebook at our AOL Customer Care page. If you do not have a social media account, we are available at help.aol.com.

font size incoming mail
I notice that my incoming mail is in smaller font size than it used to be.
I know I can change the font size in writing/composing email, but how can I change it for easier reading for the incoming mail without having to forward to myself in order to change it? Then it doesn't immediately show who it's actually from (it will say it's from me)Hi there. To increase the font for your incoming emails, you can have the option turned on to ''Enable large text size'' when you go to Settings. Additionally, you can use the keyboard by pressing and holding CTRL then adjust the font with the ''+'' and ''-'' keys.

Colors? Fonts?
What happened to pre-setting a text color? Or options for fonts? This is not better, not if I have to make selections each time I go to compose a new e-mail. Change can be good, but not when you lose options instead of gaining new ones.
Hi there. To set your default composing font, please go to Settings (gear icon)>More Settings>Writing email>Default rich-text font>select from the drop downs the type of font you prefer and the font size. If you need help navigating the New AOL Mail, please contact us on Twitter at @AOLSupportHelp or on Facebook at our AOL Customer Care page. If you do not have a social media account, we are available at help.aol.com.

AOL Mail is costing me hours of time I do not have by randomly putting emails I need in the trash
STOP RANDOMLY PUTTING MY EMAILS IN THE TRASH!! I don't have time to waste going through looking for the emails I need.
Hi. In most cases, this problem is caused by the incoming mail filters on your account. To verify your incoming mail filters, please go to mail.aol.com using a desktop computer/laptop, and click on Settings on the top right, then More Settings, and finally Filters. On the Filter page, review the filters that are set up to move your incoming emails to the trash folder, then edit or delete them, in order to receive your emails in your Inbox. If there's a filter that you did not create, your account might have been compromised, in which case, we strongly recommend you to secure it, here's how: https://help.aol.com/articles/recognize-a-hacked-aol-mail-account
If you're using a mobile app or program that's setup to delete email from the server, you'll need to contact the manufacturer for help. Examples include Outlook and Mac Mail.

Harassing users on daily -verification code
This is using verification code to harass me- asking for verification code daily is excessive. Your f**ing email is not Fort Knox or Pentagon. Just harassing conservatives, right?
