SPAM
I get certain emails all the time...and now, all of a sudden, and it's hit or miss, you're asking me if its save of not. If I've interacted with the sender before, especially for YEARS, stop asking me that stupid question. Sometime multiple times almost near each other.
Certainly you have a way to figure out the algorithm, right? You're a tech company, right? Then I get emails that are obviously spam that end up in my in box.
Get your act together please.

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.

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.

Dear AOL, as of today 6/4/2026 my in-box is now receiving advertising banners in between my emails, AND, i CAN NOT DELETE , or, send to spam. this is not fair. This should not be occurring, please remove this ads that are occurring in my in-box.

The "sex **** emails can be sent to spam. They should be blocked immediately.
Blocking should be adjusted regularly since most of that SPAM is sent by 'people" that change their emails frequently. Finally, any email from a source that has a list of nonsense numbers and letter should automatically be blocked. Why should a legitimate user have to go through 100+ spam items daily to retrieve the few legitimate emails that may make it to spam by error.
About the blocked items in general. There is a limit on that list, which can be reached in less than two weeks, but can only be purged one by one, a task that could take hours.

When I have set up filters to prevent trashy sexual content, which I find offensive, and I still get many many of those emails even though the words in the filter appear in the subject of the email, I don't know why. Am I doing something wrong? Please let me know so that I can stop the offensive emails.

In the week that I made my comment, the spam messages in my Spam folder have gotten even more brutal! I can't stop them but AOL can. Do I need to list some of them here so you know what I'm talking about? I have to check my spam folder to assure nothing I wanted landed there.

I have to check my spam folder just in case something lands there that shouldn't. While there, I am subjected to a vast array of raunchy sex emails with explicit captions and names. There must be a way you can stop these things from even getting out to folk's inboxes.Why won't you do that?

That's because it does not affect them so why would they care? AOL has ****** protections and service. I will not be surprised when they get shut down. They are a joke of a

It appears that complaints posted here have been ignored. Some go back years but I still receive many. Many, like those advertising for sex, *********** and other content, are very inappropriate. Please do something about it. It seems like this site is a waste of tying and time.
