How do I report spam on AOL WebMail?

Although the AOL® spam filter catches most spam and junk mail sent to your e-mail address, there will be times when some get past the spam filter. In such cases, use the Report Spam feature. Help us help you!

Report a message as spam

All the messages you report will be moved to your spam folder. This way, the AOL® spam filtering system gets more efficient to prevent further spam messages from entering your New Mail folder or Inbox.

To report a message as spam:
1. In the New Mail folder, click the box next to the e-mail you wish to report to place a check mark in it.

Note: It is not necessary to open the e-mail.

2. At the top of the AOL Mail window, click the Spam button.
