Does anyone know if AOL has changed it filters recently ?

I used to be ably to rely of the home page menu in case there was some which AOL had decided was Spam but wasn't.

My spam - the usual medical stuff - is no longer indicated on the home page but clicking on the Spam icon I get it listed - all from about 11.30 and only going back about 14 days.

I haven't changed my filters - has AOL done so ?

  • The SPAM folder message "counter" went a while ago and if you search t'intenet you'll see plenty of complaints about it.

    You'll just have to check it every day yourself.

    AOL email is useless since yahoo took it over.

    I had my settings to only allow specific email addresses, they removed that option so I now get a ton of spam which their
    spam settings does not block. Or will block for a few days after tinkering and then it allows everything again.
