Autocorrect spelling while typing (key words: WHILE TYPING)
I've sent several requests for restoration of autocorrect spelling while typing. It works fine in this feedback field. PLEASE restore it to the email composition. It's ridiculous to have lost it in your new and disruptive format. The idea of going to the bottom and selecting "Check spelling" is absurd. Autocorrect works - evident here. Please please please restore autocorrect while typing to the email composition. (During this typing, my spelling was autocorrected at least six times because I type fast.) Come on, techies. Fix it. Restore it.

We recommend you check your browser's settings to have the ''Check for spelling errors when you type text on web pages'' option enabled/turned on.

The spell Check when sending is important - but when i get it, a prime example is that "i" type fast and miss the capital many times. I have to look for it - but if when i initiate the spell check, it would pull up the first issue - i have the correct option, ignore, ignore all, correct all. The next idea would then have it progress to the next issue - not send you back to the message, but go until all have been addressed. It would be much quicker and easier to use. Thanks

When writing an email there are many new words or acronyms that are now commonly used that spell check flags as incorrect spelling. Instead of having to ignore them repeatedly have an option to add them to AOL's dictionary or your own personal PC dictionary.

A good phone tech support rep - we at least got the correct email address to come up at the top of the autofill list when I begin to type the email address.

Unable to delete an autofill email address from my Contacts even with AOL phone technical support...As all reasonable solutions were tried, a general system update may be necessary in case others are experiencing this as well.

WHEN are you going to fix autocorrect spelling while typing? It worked fine in the original aol. You've presented a new way to check spelling AFTER the message is typed. This is VERY VERY inconvenient and unacceptable. You've asked me to check my browser settings. They have never changed from auto correct while typing. Will you PLEASE restore this function to aol? It worked in your original aol. PLEASE! I am so ready to go through the ugly process of changing to another email carrier. You are not taking these requests seriously. I believe this function CAN be restored. Autocorrect spelling while typing works here in this feedback box. Why can't you fix it in the email message area????

Your tech crew gave us this message:
"Just wanted to give a quick update on spell check. In New AOL Mail, we are leaving spell check up to the expertise of your preferred browser. For more information on your preferred browser's spell checking capabilities please click this help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/check-spelling-in-new-aol-mail "Listen, techs.... my browser has always been set at autocorrect. It works HERE in the feedback field. It works fine on Facebook. IT USED TO WORK in the email message section of AOL. Now, IT DOES NOT WORK IN THE EMAIL MESSAGE SECTION of AOL. When are you going to restore it? This is a major critical need!!!
