Please give us the option to say "I don't like this ad" for ads that are put in my inbox between actual emails. Irritating ads do not make me likely to buy whatever the advertiser is selling. Quite the opposite

I understand you have to make money, but I agree with J Cherry.

I want to add my voice about this issue too. And I see the original post is from January 2025. It's now late June 2026 and this issue has only been getting worse. Why don't you do anything about it? Isn't it technologically possible?

get rid of your ads, none of which match my interest.

The ad at the top of the list is annoying enough. It is spam, not email. Now you insert spam ads as emails in all folders? Yes, I can tell the difference between your ad emails and the mail I'm expecting, but there's something special about adding those ad emails to my Inbox, Sent, Spam and my personal organization folders. Really? You stick them in the Spam folder, too?! I won't click on them and you won't make me a paying customer by trashing my inbox and folders. There are too many better options out there.

Aol seem to be supporting SPAMMERS with their 1000 policy, which is a shame. I have had the same AOL email address for nearly 40 years and am now looking to close it down due to the amount of SPAM I get.

I clicked on one of these ads that popped up by accident and it was spam. Had to shut down my computer. Fix this!

SPAM ads are popping up in my email list. "3 Unread messages Heads UP your mailbox received something new" Listed as an Ad. So AOL now lets spammers pay to spam us? Here's another! " 3 unread messages A pending connection was logged to your profile today." They just keep poppin up with variants of those messages. Can't delete or mark as SPAM.

HEY AOL, FIX THE SPAM PROBLEM IN YOUR EMAIL SYSTEM!! Your system has allowed over 50 to 100 SPAM EMAILS per day into my SPAM Folder! Some of the SPAM EMAILS are highly offensive, e.g. from rodriguw@test.exclusiveeoffers.org Subject: Subject: 🥵 𝙄 𝙒𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙏𝙊 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙈𝙀 𝙃𝘼𝙍𝘿 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘿𝙀𝙀𝙋 … 𝙄’𝙈 𝙎𝙊 𝙃𝙊𝙍𝙉𝙔💦𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙈𝙀 🥵. I do not have the time nor the patience to screen my SPAM Folder daily in order to block these and other offensive emails!

With today's technology, I am surprised that AOL has not taken steps to block these types of emails completely from your AOL System! TAKE ACTION NOW; I know that I am not the only person who feels this way and has this problem!!

I tried phone support, and was told my only option is to pay for ad-free, get a third party service, or submit my question/complaint in this forum. Thank you.

Ads are appearing within the list of emails in the inbox, as if the ad were itself an email. I can tolerate ads above and to the right of the inbox, but this is awful. Examples include Hillsdale College, Temu, Window Replacement, Rocket Mortgage, Wall Street Journal. Very disruptive to the work flow in my inbox. I can't figure how to delete or move them. Please advise how to correct this. Thank you.

Remove the irritating 'ads' that look like an email in the inbox. It was bad enough there was always one on top but now they are every 10 or so in the list! This is ridiculous! I used to admire AOL for their stand on free email with few ads, but now it's just poisoned. I put up with ads on the side, because it's a free service, but this is now too much.

I've started getting ads in my daily e-mail list that are in the middle or bottom of the list. I have one from 6/15 that is at the bottom of the list for that day and I can't get rid of it. It needs to be fixed.

Stop ads in e-mail in box. they are NOT e-mail!!!!!!!

you can take ai and shove it up you ***

so now you put ads in my private folders. you are total ********.

Please fix this problem asap. Thank you.

Please correct the unauthorized emails from Homes.com ad and Temu.com ad that suddenly appeared in my emails. I cannot delete them as their logos cover the delete box choice. Please take care of this immediately. Thank you

When a person pays to remove ads, then they get removed. Not pay to remove ads then have to sit on the phone with technical support to actually get them removed.
