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

Mail going to trash after about 5 minutes being in inbox. It's an AOL server issue. No filters set up on my side. In the past somehow it fixed itself and stopped doing this. Then it started up again. PLEASE PLEASE review this issue at your end at AOL. I keep having to grab all e-mails and move them back to inbox. However, within a short period of time they get moved back into the TRASH.

I found my mail filter was set to trash. I see no way to cancel the filter and the edit function does not give me an Inbox choice - so I changed it to Saved Mail. Not a satisfactory solution!

All new e-mail is dumping into the wrong folder. It is going to a folder I made rather then the Inbox. I have to go and move everything to the inbox.
