How can we improve AOL Mail?

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/     

Thank you!

    I wouldn't have a clue I've received spam ever since the folder doesn't highlight any are in the folder - that is unless I check it faithfully. Missed critical e-mails!

    I never receive a flag that I've received spam! I wouldn't know from the folders as it doesn't highlight a number or any spam has been received! Pretty crazy. NEED to fix.

    Sick and tired of 25-35 spam emails a day. Only on AOL. Every other mail service blocks it. Pathetic. Moving to gmail. Tired of having to block senders every day only to have them return. Sick of having to unsubscribe every single day from these annoying emails. Stop selling my address!

    Getting a lot of spam regarding products recommended by "Oprah". Set up a filter to route anything with "Oprah" in "from" to spam folder. It's not working, so I added "oprah" in subject and body to the filter. Still doesn't work. When multiple criteria are specified, the instructions don't say whether all criteria must be met, or just one of them, for the filter to work. Either way, it doesn't work.

    What has changed? in the last 2 weeks I've had one spam email after another. As fast as I create a filter more arrive!! It is taking too much maintenance....why the sudden change???

    In recent months, the volume of obviously junk mail passing AOL's spam filter has increased. I have been AOL email user since 1994. Maybe it is time to switch to another email service. Harbor Freight is one repeating offender.

    My spam is so much I cant keep up with email. What options do you offer to block spam?

  • GLENN PIERSALL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm paying you for email service that I could get for free elsewhere. I think you could and should do something to deny the broadcast spam from egregious spammers. Most notably of late are literally hundreds of spam emails per day from ***@abolities.*** and ***@voivodevils.***. I've filtered them to my spam folder but I still have to address them in case a valid message ends up there before deleting the lot. Several times per day.
    It's hard for me to believe there isn't something you can do to identify and deny access to this intrusive traffic.

    I have been receiving a ridiculous amount of spam recently. Even though it generally goes to my Junk mailbox, it seems like AOL should be able to better control this issue. I do not have this level of problem with other mail services.

    It has gotten worse and worse and worse. I have set up another email account outside of aol, and guess what?, None of the spam that I consistently get from aol comes through the other email carrier. Which means AOL just doesn't know what their doing. I have removed my aol email from every vendor account I use and use the new email vendor, and get no spam with the other vendor. Hum. As of now, all I get in my aol email box is spam.

    It's Absolutely Ridiculous That I Can Only Block 1000 Spam Email Address's, I Get 100 Spam Emails A Day, 200,000 Would Be NICE If I Could BLOCK That Many!!!!

  • JOHN HARLAND commented  ·   ·  Report

    I keep filtering types and blocking senders and the same types keep coming, other e-mail providers can cope with this why can't AOL be bothered to fix it, do they get paid for spam deliveries ?
