Stop the McAfee License Renewal Notice ads!!!!!
Please stop the McAfee License Renewal Notice ads. They are deceptive. I don't nor will I ever have McAfee's **** software installed. No matter what I do, they won't go away. I'm thinking about reporting it to the FTC for deceptive sales practices.

Font
Not improving it would be just fine with me. I have to chose between a font I can't read and one that takes up half the screen. Just leave it alone!!!!

old email version
This new email version sucks. Instead of one small column on the left with files, and the rest being email, it switched to 3 wide columns, and today a 4th. My email list is about 2" wide. THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! I'd opened a GMail account years ago but don't use it. If this isn't fixed soon I'm just moving over to Gmail. This is too hard to read, and the useless other columns/boxes just make it hard to read my inbox, and to type emails - it's just a really bad choice that needs to be re-thunk. I've don't lots…

cursor size
Cursor Size: despite having an easily-visible cursor on my Linux Ubuntu desktop, when I open AOL MAil (or Zoho Mail), the cursor is tiny, faint, and very hard to see. Changing the size on the Desktop makes no difference. It would be great if AOL Mail allowed the user to choose the cursor size, shape and colour to suit them!

Traveling abroad- AOL personal verification code since I do not have phone service to get code.
AOL code verification abroad blocks my access since I do not have phone service to get the code. Cruisers check email in ports since they cannot afford phone/internet service. AOL does not give a shiff blocking our access. Maybe providing option to use personal code instead the phone code, would solve this problem? It can be tragic if we cannot get important messages because of AOL courtesy.

The New Email Highlight Moves Down a Dozen Lines After Closing Emails.
Please fix the bug that causes the email highlight to move down a dozen lines on the New Mail page after closing read emails. This bug misleads users to see the 12th or so line of New Mails as the most current or most recently received email.

Post server and service problems, and major changes, so we can anticipate outages
Other large companies have a dashboard that shows the status of their various services. Can't you have something like that, so we don't have to rely on sites like DownDetector that show problems across the country, when they may only affect specific regions, or specific services.

Can you initiate an interim re-login without completely kicking me out?!
I sort of understand that you want to make sure logins are fresh for security reasons, esp for those of us who remain logged in for days at a time. The problem is that you simply kick me out to force a re-login, which is lazy and unnecessary. I'm working, I've got several items open, and I've got a contingent of 6-8 searches on tabs across the top (love that feature by the way) that I reference often. I will often launch a search as a reminder for something I need to address but don't have time at the moment…

regular expressions in filters
Add Regular Expression function to Filters.
Regular Expressions are essentially a user-accessible programming language that makes Filters more precise/accurate/powerful.
For example, "John" is not the same as "John Smith", but, if I ask for "John", I get both, plus "John Jones", etc. But, "^John$" means just "John" on the line.
RegEx may also significantly speed up AOL's processing and reduce the number of filters people want, which reduces AOL's processing load. For example, "Home *Warranty" (notice the " *" which matches zero or more spaces) matches "HomeWarranty", "Home Warranty", and "Home Warranty". This is very useful for rerouting junk mail…

windows xp
AOL Mail does not work with Windows XP.
I use the Firefox Browser on my Windows XP desktop.
In May 2024 I could see my emails using AOL Mail in the browser.
Now in June 2024 it will not show me all my emails.
I did open an email, but it would not let me close the email.
On the right side of the screen there used to be ads. Now that part of the screen is blank.
Would like to go back to pre May 2024 AOL Mail, or please correct the AOL Mail software so it will work…913th ranked -

Sorting emails after searching
After you search for a word, etc in emails. There are only 4 options to sort. I need, and I would think most people would need, to search by individual email sender. If it is a common word you get lots or returns and can't wade through all of it easily. Should actually be able to sort by each column and be done. It is 2024 afterall, not 1990.
