1. Two things:
1. Favorites & E-mail: please add the "Send in a new e-mail" option available when adding a Favorite Place, like there is in the older AOL for MAc and the Windows version. Also, existing Favorite Paces won;t transfer into an e-mail.

2. When closing out a website, can you make the AOL Welcome Page stay put? Why does the message about "You are going to close 2 tabs" (Home Page being one of them) have to appear? Just make it like the older versions, w/o these extra new steps to get back to the Home Page!

Are these 2 things do-able?
One very good thing about the new AOL for MAC is that it can access previously nonresponsive websites (ABC news, Slate, MLB).

2. Group e-mail names still needs work. Mac 1.2 does not sort alphabetically and there must be some limitation on the number that can be included -- many are missing from my "AOL for MAC" -- which works perfectly. I am baffled as to why the programing for the address book in "AOL for MAC" cannot be transferred to AOL Desktop. Floyd Kuehnis

3. Can't seem to find the email return receipt for mail sent to AOL addresses on the Mac version. Is it just not available or located in a different place? When I do a search it says that it should be located at the bottom of the WRITE MAIL page. Not so on either of my versions so far. Thanks...

4. My new aol for mac version 1.2 send the SAME EMAIL MESSAGE every time I sign on, over and over. I've apologized repeatedly to the 2 people who keep getting this message! I tried deleting the program and downloading it again, signing off, turning off the computer, all to no avail. HELP!!!!!!!

5. I am using the new AOL Desktop browser on an Intel Mac. I tried to insert a link to a webaddress but could not find the menu for doing so. On the old AOL browser one could do this by clicking on the Edit menu tab and scrolling down to Insert. Does this feature exists on the new Mac browser? If not, this is a great omission.

6. Last two updates improved a few key issues but still a lot of problems. Frequently gets stuck at "Message Content Loading" and I have to relaunch. Crashes most every time when waking from sleep. Should still be a beta product. Don't switch to this yet. Using webmail through Firefox works much better. Will submit a long list of issues if I can ever find the time.

7. HI ,
I have been using this application on mac , and it works really fine , just wanted to give some suggestions
I wanted to know if there would be any sort option by "Location" in the mailbox , to clearly mention where it is stored - as On my mac / On AOL [ This happens with the windows application makin users easy ]
And when a mail is flagged , why dont we have the option in the read mail form that this mail is " flagged "
Pls let me know if this would also be considered .
thanks for such a gud application !!!

8. There is a big problem with the security of the AOL Mac Desktop. When you switch between screen names, all of the mail in the destination screen name mailbox is visible to the previous screen name BEFORE the password is entered.... so someone can see all of the inbox, sent mail, etc of a different account!! The mail itself cannot be read, but all of the subject lines, email addresses, etc. are right there - without ANY security. If you have ANY privacy concerns do not use the AOL Desktop... because even without a password someone can see your email information. To fix this, the mail window would need to show up only AFTER the password is entered - not before it is filled in.

9. I would like to be able to take the AOL Desktop for Mac Toolbar icons and not only select WHICH ones I view, BUT I would also like the ability to RESIZE them smaller or even go to just an Icon Name as opposed to the larger buttons.

10. the rollout email said I could now listen to XM stations on AOL radio, but all i see are CBS stations. Even a SEARCH for XM RADIO yields NO MATCHES. So what is the deal with that?
-----------------------------
Hello Dale,
I'm not sure what e-mail you're referring to, our relationship with XM Radio ended and we're now parterning with CBS Radio.
Thanks...

11. I downloaded the new Mac desktop version for Mac today. (July 16, '08)
Nothing has happened, or in other words, everything is still the same as before I downloaded.

What do I do next?

12. I just downloaded the new AOL desktop for Mac. When I open my
emails, no pictures associated with the emails will open.
Instead, I get little blue boxes with a question mark inside.
This happens with ads from the grocery store, personal emails,
etc. The pictures will open on my old version of aol
(version 10.3.7).

What gives?

13. There should a 'rather' easy method for inserting clickable links in email as well as arranging Favorite Places in alphabetical order along with the previously mentioned, but not seen on the Board for some reason, ability to resize the Toolbar icons to make them smaller and/or to remove the Icon and leave Text Only for each selected activity item.

14. Version 1.2 – a list of a number of annoyances, missing features, bugs and questions that I can think of right now. I’m sure there are more. This is sad folks. I tried to submit these via the feed back button but it’s over the character limit. I’m not breaking it into a bunch of separate inputs so here it is for all to see.

Still gets stuck regularly at “Message Content Loading”. Must close and relaunch. Performance has generally improved when it doesn’t get stuck. Still too slow though.

I thought 1.1 fixed the e-mail scrambling but it happened again twice yesterday, but only in the Inbox list. The e-mails seemed fine once opened. I put that on the Mac@AOL Blog comments already.

Crashes every time waking from sleep.

Folders don’t sync unless you open them. For example, I must click on the SPAM folder to find out if anything is in it. It never shows a number for the new mail in it when I’m in my Inbox.

When renaming a folder it doesn’t give you the old name to edit like every other program on the planet.

Delete, moving, etc. often have a long lag time and you can’t tell if it’s actually going to do it.

Where the heck is your address autofill doing? It’s definitely not just looking in the AOL address book. It also seems to look in the Apple address book and who knows where else. For example, I have three e-mail addresses. If I type my first name in, it lists 14 entries for those three addresses. It also finds obsolete addresses for people somewhere. Just have it look in the AOL address book please.

Cut and paste from Excel sucks. I hate html e-mail.

Every time I launch AOL it opens both the web and e-mail windows with the web on top. Stop it or let me change it so e-mail is on top.

Let me set another browser as the default for opening links etc.

Why am I regularly but not always asked to allow incoming connections? Make it stop please.

Stop the annoying ads where people/things jump, dance, vibrate, etc.

What files can I delete for the old AOL for the Mac?

When managing mail “On My Mac”:
1) Can’t select more than one folder to move it.
2) Can’t delete a folder without first deleting the contents. Time consuming if a number of folders within that too.
3) Bug – Created a new folder within another folder. Dragged ~2 dozen e-mails within top folder to new folder. All but two moved. Tried again and one moved. Several more tries but couldn’t get last one to move. Closed AOL and reopened. All ~2 dozen were back in the old location. The new folder was empty. Tried again and the EXACT same thing happened again.
4) Another time (probably was version 1.1) I moved some e-mails to On My Mac but they were copied instead of moved.
5) Where are the files stored on my Mac?
6) When copying an e-mail I sent to a folder it shows in the list as being from the person I sent it to, not from me.

15. Have not been able to add or delete screen names with AOL because I use a Mac. Has anything changed with this new application?

16. I've been with AOL since the very earliest ALPE days, and am always happy to try new versions. I recently downloaded AOL Desktop for Mac, and in general am pleased, but I can't find any way to log IMs or other sessions, as I am able to with the old Mac AOL client (AOL for Mac OS X v 10.3.7 being the most recent version). If there's a means that I've simply missed, I'd appreciate being shown how to do it. Otherwise, I'd urge that this oversight be corrected. Thanks!

17. When I send e-mail with attachments, it is not always downloadable by the recipient or comes with the warning that there is something wrong with it.

18. I have been with aol forever. I have been with Apple forever. It says in the AOL 1.2 hype that you can transfer chat rooms easily, but the reality is all my favorite chat rooms are tied to the old aol system that is not supported by the new Mac's operating system. It matters not there are a ton of new features if someone can't retain what I have wanted and enjoy all along.

19. The mail program in version 10.3.7 (revision 4136-310) is far, far better than what we have now. No comparison between old program spell check and now. OLD IS MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY. Also can get confirmation of mail received by other aol members.Everything about the old program is better!

20. I successfully downloaded AOL Desktop for Mac 1.2 this morning. It was easy. Lots of questions about capacity of my computer, etc. that I had no idea how to answer. The AOL screens look about the same. One annoying carryover from my previous AOL status as a guest (I could never successfully load the AOL disc on my Mac OS X) is that the list of contacts appears for about 1/2 second in alphabetical order, then switches to reverse alphabetical, except for the first entry, which starts with an "M", i.e., is in the middle of the alphabet. What causes this, and how can i cure it?
