I also have gmail which I like much better, but I've had this AOL address for 25 years. I used to be able to filter to "allow people on my list" and it was great! I would check my spam once a day and if it was someone I knew or wanted to receive email from, I would add them to my address book. Now, AOL says that my gmail is spam. Yet, I also get tons and tons of span.

It's really bad.

I would not not go there!
