If unwanted junk mail is getting through your filters, the best way to stop it is to mark it as spam, under the ‘More’ menu.
For advanced settings, go to mail.aol.com on a desktop computer and create filters under Mail Settings. You can filter incoming mail to go to the folders where you want them — or, make unwanted mail from specific senders go straight into Trash or Spam. Note: You can create up to 50 filters.

Emails - Photos/videos
Literally 9/10 times i try to send a photo or video (under the file size limit obviously) they never make it to other person... the email goes fine but with no attachments.
Please try switching the internet connection from WiFi to mobile data or vice-versa to see if the issue persists. Also, try sending a test email to your own email address to see if you’re receiving it and make sure you don’t attach files that are larger than 25MB.

Arrow missing on reply
Greetings,
An arrow used to show after replying or forwarding an email from my iPhone 7. We have had this aol account and app very long, it used to work. It was handy to know when checking emails to note which were taken care of and which needed attention. We made no changes it just stop showing up on the app, it shows when responding from the computer.
Thank you,
Jen

My new iPhones been hacked so many
Times including my personal Apple ID AOL account which were the same - why did it take 3 weeks to get back from escalation -the thief did duplicate all my 12000 emails and after I did get it back,where’s it now and did you take it away from him ? -hopefully you took my aol account back instead of him keeping it - I mean how am I suppose to put in an iPhone that repeatedly is hacked - doesn’t it make more sense to put in a secure IPhonex ?
And after it was stole doesn’t it make sense…We’re really sorry to hear about your situation. We have an article that should help you prevent this kind of situations in the future: https://help.aol.com/articles/protecting-your-aol-account
