    AOL Spam Filter Setting is missing in Email Settings.

    No, and I do have an update. My first aol account still has spam settings and the Exclusive Blocker. The second one does not. However, the two new ones got their spam settings back. That's the good news. The bad news is that the old options are gone. No more Exclusive Blocker. Only the...
