What causes some legitimate email to go directly to "Deleted Mail?"
What causes some legitimate email to go directly to "Deleted Mail?"

In most cases, this problem is caused by the incoming mail filters on your account. To verify your incoming mail filters, please go to mail.aol.com using a desktop computer, and click on Options on the top right, then Mail Settings, and finally Filter Settings on the left side of the page.
On the Filter Settings page, review the filters that are set up to move your incoming emails to the trash folder, then edit or delete them, in order to receive your emails in your Inbox.
As an alternative, you can configure your account using IMAP rather than POP, by following the steps from this help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/verizon-move-to-aol-mail-setting-up-your-new-aol-account-in-a-third-party-email-program-or-mobile-device-imap

Why are my sent emails going into trash folder -
KITTY BELENDEZ commented
All of a sudden 2 days ago my sent emails are being put into my TRASH folder instead of the SENT folder. How do I fix this? I check settings, but it does not seem to be the cause of filing in wrong folder.

Why are most of my emails that have come to my inbox now going to my TRASH file? I have made no changes to my account. Now I have to look through my inbox, then my TRASH folder and my JUNK folder to be sure I get all the intended emails, including bills I pay on-line. Very FRUSTRATING and time consuming!!! What can I do to stop this??

When I send a test message to my AOL account from either of my two other Gmail accounts, the test messages go directly to my AOL Trash folder. How can I correct this?

Your response to my suggestion went directly into my Trash folder. Had I not looked there, I never would've seen it. Please stop diverting messages that should go to my In Box!

Stop putting new messages into Trash before I have an opportunity to see them. They belong in my In Box first!

You sent me information on how to add filters, but I want to delete a filter or send my AOL mail received to the inbox. There is no option for the inbox on filters. Defaults are folders list. 7/29/22.
I recently noticed that many of my friends emails, and the emails I send are in the trash folder. At the same time I continue to receive a lot of other emails that are trash. How can I go back to receiving emails I want without having to dig through the trash?
Can I identify items in the trash as not trash and begin to receive them in my in-box again? -

Mail is going to deleted mail and junk is going to regular mail every day.
Very frustrating, trying to run a business. -
