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 used to be offered an opportunity to block and delete spam under "more" but this very useful service has suddenly disappeared. Why and can I have it back please?
    I am receiving at least 25 annoying spam offers from USA every day.

    Can we block certain words in an email address - eg 'new-offers' as if someone keeps altering the end after @ blocking the whole email address does not work

  • DAVID GOODHALL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why, when blocking SPAM messages they keep on reappearing with a slightly different name. Can you not block the @name to stop this happening.

    I need to block all junk mail so i dont get stuff from them in future....

  • CLYDE MARTIN commented  ·   ·  Report

    The spammers have found that if they put brackets, or other types of symbols around their email, it bypasses the filters. They simply change symbols. The spams filters should block ALL emails with symbols used in the address.

    DO SOME THING ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING **** MESSAGES AND CAINT REPORT THEM TO YOU

  • LINDA MIGLIACCIO commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL SPAM FILTERS ARE NOT WORKING-- GETTING REPEAT SPAM EVEN THOUGH FILTERS ARE CORRECTLY INPUT WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT ASSISTANCE. SPAM FILTERS ARE CRITICAL SINCE VIRUSES AND MALWARE CAN GET THRU. MAKE THIS ISSUE A PRIORITY WITH AOL. TECH. SUPPORT DOES NOT KNOW THE ANSWER AND IF THEY CANNOT HELP-- THEN WHO CAN??

    Quit playing around with the silly little pictures and colors. What we want is for you to block the emails that we ask you to block. I continue to receive two or more spam emails from several people I have identified and BLOCK SENDER. Focus on what's important - how about it?

    Fix the Spam . Every day 20-30. Only AOL mail has this problem.

  • Candace Davenport commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get numerous emails from (for example) "contact@xxxx.offers.com". They just change the xxxx word in each spam. Put in an option for * to cover all the emails from one place. "contact@*.offers.com"

  • ROBERT SCHMIDT commented  ·   ·  Report

    Put back the "block sender" feature in you triple dot pull down menu. I am no longer able to block unwanted spam senders. I contacted the AOL help line and was told how I could still do it but the "ADD" button never activates so I can't add a new unwanted sender to my block list. Not good at all.

  • Margaret High commented  ·   ·  Report

    Important emails keep going into my spam folder! They are from contacts that I've been getting email from for YEARS - the contacts are in my Contacts List. I am missing important information. I keep marking them "not spam" and nothing has changed for a few weeks now. I am trying to be patient but I can't keep missing important stuff and checking my spam folder every time I check email.
