  1. Stop changing the layout of the inbox!!!

    Stop changing the layout of the inbox!!!
    It looked fine the way it was and when you selected an item to move or delete it didn't automatically open an unread email. These constant "layout updates" are terrible and unhelpful

  2. Filter Arrows

    Filter Arrows (up and down) should on the left or the right side of the pane so we can see the filters moving up or down so we can easily see where to stop it!

  3. Stop blocking incoming emails.

    Why am I not receiving certain emails. I am awaiting important emails from my bank for access codes.....but these are getting blocked automatically from AOL. I understand security but these do not even go to Spam so I can choose if I want to read them. Makes me wonder what other emails I am not getting.

  4. Related Contacts Popups.

    How can the Related Contacts Pop Up windows be disabled? They are very disruptive and not at all helpful. Please advise. Thank you.

  6. separate email window

    Bring back the option to open an email in a new window. It is a useful feature that aids productivity.

    I cannot believe how someone in the design team thought it was a good idea to remove!

  7. Stop the automatic link previews!

    New email automatically inserts link previews when composing. That's not how email works. It isn't a blog post. Turn that nonsense off!

  8. It is NOT an IMPROVEMENT when you REMOVE THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS USED to Write an Email.

    IN OLD AOL EMAIL, WE HAD...

    A long list of FONTS to choose from

    We had more options on SIZE OF FONT

    Old AOL had a larger choice of COLORS of FONT to choose with the OPTION to ADD PERSONAL COLORS

    We could place an email IN A NEW WINDOW!

    We could CONTROL the SIZE of the WINDOW and the PLACEMENT

    ****When SENDING an Email, we typed the first few letters of the email addy and the EMAIL APPEARED. NOW a NAME appears. If we are writing an email, the NAME SHOULD NOT APPEAR IN THE SENDER BOX ....THE EMAIL…

  9. An alert when a specific sender emails me

    I only check my emails once or twice a day, but sometimes I get a rare important message that needs to be answered immediately. Can you have a feature that for specific important selected senders, I can get a text or a push notification on my phone if they message me? Thanks!

  12. spam count display

    Display the folder count against the Spam Folder -
    The Spam Folder used to show the count of email in it. It currently does not. As a direct result, combined with AOL's apparently more aggressive spam filtering, messages have been accumulating in my spam folder without my realizing it. That means I have missed important messages because I did not have any reason to look in the spam folder!

    Please, put the count of messages back in the left column for the Spam Folder.

  13. Give me the easy ability to opt out of every form of advertising and tracking on my accounts.

    Give me the easy ability to opt out of every form of advertising and tracking on my accounts. It's way to complicated and time consuming when it could (AND SHOULD) be as simple as a one click action by the consumer.

  15. Restore the ability to generate passwords for third party email apps such as Outlook

    AOL seem to have (deliberately?) disabled the passord generator for third party apps which means (being forced) to use AOL apps (along with unwanted adverts).

  20. sort by "newest on top" displays only a small subset of all emails in inbox

    Only for my account, when emails are sorted by newest on top (the default), only a small subset of the emails are displayed.

    The subset of emails is not just the latest ones but are spread out across multiple years.

    If I reverse the sort to oldest on top, then all the emails show up.

    This issue could be similar to issue ranked #325: What happened to all of the mail in my inbox?
