The AOL Mac Team has been listening to users on the AOL Beta message boards and the feedback received via AOL Beta Central. We have isolated the issue with Mail and we have fixed the biggest issues with AOL Desktop for Mac Mail. Please review the fixed issues list below for more specifics.

Note: Beta test users for Beta 8 and 9 may have been experiencing issues with mail display, disappearing mail in the mailbox list view and problems deleting mail. The AOL Mac Team has been collecting feedback and bug reports from AOL Beta Central and we have fixed most of these problems in Beta 10. "Report Spam" and "Empty Trash" have been temporarily disabled. These issues will be resolved in Beta 11. Please report any issues using the Beta Feedback selection under the Help menu item.

  • Fixed issues with displaying mail

  • Fixed issues with mail disappearing when an individual mail is selected in the mailbox
  • Deleting a mail message will now select and display the next message
  • Fixed application crash related to AIM when switching screen names
