How can we improve AOL Mail?

← AOL Mail Norrin

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.

    I agree with ALL the postings to increase the number of blocked emails. Since AOL is having problems controlling the amount of spam, we users' ability to add to block emails might help the situation.

    Please increase it. I could do 1,000 in a month, and that's being kind.

    When AOL first started, they had the option of blocking by address or domain. Why they mess with things that set them apart from others is beyond me. This week, 150+ emails from terdacine.nl, each with a different start but all ending with @terdacine.nl which AOL doesn't seem to care or mind. Really pathetic these new changes which makes people want to go elsewhere.

    PLEASE INCREASE THE BLOCKED MAIL LIST TO 10,000 OR 100,000 EVEN!! 1,000 IS JUST NOT ENOUGH!!!

  • LILLIAN DELPILAR commented  ·   ·  Report

    The 1000-address limit for blocking spam emails is not effective. I've already reached that limit. At least show us a chronological sort so we can unblock the oldest ones first. If you could allow blocking by domain, that would help minimize the problem -- a particular spammer can just auto generate hundreds of usernames on the same domain so one block instead of hundreds would be more efficient.

    Why did you remove-"BLOCK SENDER"? I need this to stop scammers etc.RESTORE IT! STOP MESSING WITH AOL SETTINGS!!

    I don't have the Block senders option on my AOL email. When I Click on security and privacy I can't block anyone.

    I request that you extend the ability to block email senders (especially from the spam folders) at a number far above 1,000 where it appears to be capped currently. Please? It's an excellent feature and really helps to control the large number of ridiculous messages.

  • JOHN ZDYRKO commented  ·   ·  Report

    Spam should be blocked by the end of the address . if they can change the start your Filter serves no purpose. GMail doesn't have this problem their spam filters work!!!!!!!

  • PATSY HARTHCOCK commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have over 80,000 emails and the majority of those are spam. My blocked senders list is full at 1,000.

  • DAVID GREEN commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please address the spam issue; it is becoming more and more of a problem! It's gotten to the point that most of the 'Unsubscribe' links in the spam I get now lead to phishing sites and worse; I block only those senders (and the outright SCAM emails) and reach the 1000 limit in a couple months.

  • ROBERT DEMEULEMEESTER commented  ·   ·  Report

    please expand the block senders list way beyond 1000 email addresses. please also allow blocking by domain as many addresses use a common domain.

  • KENNETH SLOTKOWSKI commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Even if I "Block senders" they still keep coming back. Like a bad penny!

  • JOHN ZDYRKO commented  ·   ·  Report

    The spam is unbearable. I Block it but now its showing up in my mail not Spam !! Gmail has no Spam problem. I understand it uses AI that AOL didn't find out about Yet. COME on AOL stop this garbage already

  • Bob Babigan commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since aol insists on the 1,000 ceiling the least they could do is indicate the oldest addresses blocked so they can be edited thus freeing up space.

  • STEPHEN SPAKOWSKY commented  ·   ·  Report

    another option is blocking an email sender "if it contains" option. One of the worse spam originators is someone with an address that contains 'talosintelligence.org.uk' If I could block anything that has this in the senders address, I would save dozens of block requests.

  • STEPHEN SPAKOWSKY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Blocking senders is great but the Spam senders just changing the start of the address. They can send hundreds of thousands of spam emails. If I could block by just the @...... this would greatly increase protection and not clog my/your blocking files! I just blocked 18 spam files. 9 of them had the same ending @....

  • JOHN HEALY commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have stuck with AOL. I have important emails coming in, but having 80 to 100 spam emails come in in a 3 to 4 hour period to check just plain sucks. I don't need thousands of emails a week about sex!!!!!!! My ***** is just fine...
