I'm in recorded meetings and the ads that suddenly appear blaring music or any type of audio are disruptive and extremely annoying. stop the audio!

Why am I getting mails, and nasty things when they should go to Spam.

The volume of spam has become overwhelming. I'm going to have to abandon my AOL email account which I've had almost 30 years. I assume that every SPAM emial is also a SCAM email, if I were foolish enough to try to buy a product they are selling I would just have my money and identifying information stolen.

Despite having the "enhance contacts" option disabled, new "contacts" (notably everyone who spams me!) somehow appears in the autofill options when addressing emails. WHY? THESE SPAMMERS ARE NOT ON MY CONTACT LIST? How about also allowing the user to reject emails (as in they don't even make it to the spam box) if the subject lines include words like won, package, squirt and prize (just to name a few). It's a pity that modern technology has not yet caught up to what we had 25 years ago.

PLEASE, give us a way to STOP these disgusting, time wasting, stupid emails!

I want ALL blocked spam senders to BLOCKED PERMANENTLY! I spend at least 15 -20 mins per day "blocking" and "deleting" these emails and they CONTINUE to appear. WHY? Don't tell me to enter the full addresses in the block list. THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME, they just continue to come in, even when the addresses are marked "BLOCK SENDER" WHY? Is there an easy and permanent way to BLOCK them PERMANENTLY? There used to be a way to enter certain words that would enable AOL to block. Please, please, enable that process AGAIN!!! (I am 99% sure they originate w/ use of the FaceBook app, Thanks

why can't i always block the sender in my spam folder? Sometimes that option just disappears

why can i sometimes block the senders in my spam folder but sometimes aol will not allow me to block the senders in my spam folder.

why can't this always work?

Actually listen to what America are telling you and STOP your NAZI censorship...

Stop selling everyones email addresses to hundreds of companies.
This has all started with your AOL money program subscription to stop unwanted emails, which I have to delete every day.
Looking into Gmail now.

Inundated with emails that start with 48488503. I have added a filter to block these, but the filters don't work.

AOL needs to be proactive by eliminating SPAM emails before they get to AOL email customers. Three steps can be taken by AOL to do this:

One, email addresses reported as sending SPAM emails by AOL customers will be blocked by AOL so that AOL email customers do not get these emails AT ALL. Further, these email addresses will be investigated to see if they are legitimate email addresses or not.

Two, new email addresses reported by AOL email customers will be investigated as to whether they are legitimate email addresses or not and also blocked from sending emails to AOL email customers.

Three, before any emails are received by AOL email customers, it will be determined if they are legitimate emails. In other words, if the email address and the "company" sending it do not match then the email will be stopped from reaching the AOL email customers' email addresses proactively. Many SPAM emails I have gotten in the past have been from these off-the-wall email addresses but look (if the subject line is looked at) like some "company" is trying to get you to update your information on a "legitimate" company's page, but it is not legitimate. Severale fake email addresses have tried to get me to renew my McAfee antivirus membership. Problem is, I don't use McAfee antivirus! ANd, the email addresses are all fake, not "@mcafee.com" email addresses. See my point? These emails can be easily stopped from getting to AOL customers' email addresses, inboxes, or SPAM folders. It is time for AOL to be proactive and block fake SPAM/phishing emails from being sent. This is a far better solution than having only contacts able to send emails, since if an email is sent from somebody new, it will be blocked if the AOL customer has their email set to receiving emails from contacts only.

If AOL implements these measures, AOL email will be much more pleasant to use. And yes, I have seen complaints. My ideas (maybe others have had them as well) can make AOL email better!

C'mon AOL. I receive over 200 spam emails every day. I have to pick through most of these just in case something of importance slipped through. You should be able to block the majority of these emails before they even arrive. The majority of other ISP's are able to, why not you?

These multiple messages from US companies are a real "pain in the neck"

Stop US companies sending messages to my .co.uk account. I am not interested in their products and services. How do i stop multiple e-mails from US companies. My spam box gets overrun with US rubbish and I need to be able to stop it.

I have a few spam messages in Yahoo mail but not the disgusting overload in AOL. Because my primary email address is Verizon.net that migrated to AOL I'm stuck with them.

Okay, I noticed that we can receive only emails from only contacts. That is still reactive, but works to a decent extent. The idea I have is still critical, proactive, and necessary.

AOL can prevent obvious SPAM emails from reaching our inboxes or SPAM folders in the first place. Many SPAMmers mimic actual companies but use fake email addresses that are obviousdly not buisness emails, and sometimes these SPAM emails have no email address.

My idea is, first, that AOL can proactively check emails sent that are not in the receivers' address books to see if the email addresses are valid email addresses. Second, emails that are reported as SPAM can be made to be blocked from getting to AOL email recipients. Third, and emails that are received by AOL email recipients and reported will be flagged and blocked from being received by AOL email recipients in the future. This wouldn't be that hard for AOL/Yahoo! to do. Proactivity on AOL/Yahoo!'s part is paramount to implement this aggressive but necessary elimination of SPAM emails. I receive many more SPAM emails per day than ones I have actually subscribed to. I and many other AOL email users (customers!) have complained countless times about this issue. The solution is not ermail filters - that is reactive, is based on AOL customers' use of email filters that have not worked for many. The solution is proactive, prevention of emails that are fake and seek to take advantage of and steal financial and personal information from AOL email customers, by blocking known SPAMmers from ever getting to AOL email customers' inboxes and SPAM folders in the first place. AOL, you can do this for us! It would be very appreciated and make AOL email more pleasant and great again.

99.9% of my spam is from America. Presumably because I use AOL. It's driving me crazy!!!

As blocking obviously does not work, can we "return to sender" instead or as well as?
