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 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.

    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

    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.

    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 @....

    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...

  • KENNETH SLOTKOWSKI commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree! And, really block them, I get a lot of repeat from: email addresses...

  • D.M. KANE commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE EXPAND the limit!! Help decrease spam for all of us!

  • Frances Alexander commented  ·   ·  Report

    I delete dozens a day but it doesn't slow down. Many are sexually oriented. I never click any of them - too dangerous.

  • STEVE FITZPATRICK commented  ·   ·  Report

    please provide an update on this critical issue. I see that there are several similar users who have the same issue, however, it is titled slightly different. I also called in for a status update and your representative hung up the phone before I was able to speak to anyone.

  • Stephen Blackwell commented  ·   ·  Report

    If I only received spam from one thousand people...I'd have no issue with the cap. But I get spam from MILLIONS...no exaggeration, MILLIONS of email address. You really need to up the amount we can block.

  • YUERGEN SCHUESSLER commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with the previous posts.
    AOL, please increase your limit to "blocked senders".
    The number of unwanted email I get is ridiculous.
    I actually PAY for your "service", so listen to what your users are saying!
