UPDATE — AOL Mail app version 8.0.3 did NOT fix the synchronization problem

I previously reported a synchronization problem with the AOL Mail app on my iPhone and iPad.

I have now updated the AOL app to version 8.0.3, but the problem continues.

The problem is specifically with the AOL apps. Apple Mail on the same iPhone and iPad works correctly, and AOL Mail through Safari/AOL.com also works correctly.

The AOL apps continue to have the following problems:

• Emails deleted on my iPhone remain in the AOL app Inbox on my iPad.

• The same email can appear in BOTH the Inbox and Trash in the AOL app.

• When I delete the duplicate email from the Trash folder, it then disappears from the Inbox.

• New emails can take an unusually long time to synchronize between the AOL apps on my iPhone and iPad.

• At times the AOL app displays: “Couldn’t refresh, check your connection.”

• I previously completely deleted and reinstalled the AOL app on the iPad. This temporarily cleared the problem, but the synchronization problem returned.

• Updating to version 8.0.3 has NOT resolved the problem.

This is not an Apple Mail problem. Apple Mail correctly synchronizes the AOL mailbox on both devices. AOL.com also shows the correct mailbox state.

Please have the AOL Mail app development team investigate the synchronization/cache problem between the AOL iPhone/iPad apps and the AOL mail server, particularly the problem where deleted messages remain in the Inbox and can simultaneously appear in Trash.

The AOL apps are not reliably maintaining the same mailbox state as AOL.com and Apple Mail.

the problem survived the upgrade from 8.0.2 to 8.0.3. That tells them this isn’t simply a problem with the particular 8.0.2 installation.
