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 some of my emails going directly to trash?! I do not have any filters set on my email account and my account has not been compromised. From researching the subject online.....I can see that this has been an ongoing issue for YEARS! WTF, AOL?!

I have email being sent to me that is going directly to "TRASH" This is important email, I need to know when I receive it without checking my trash folder.
On each one, I have made sure they are not in my trash filter. I have also put each one in my list of contacts.Please advise.

I would like you to stop auto deleting my emails in my in box. One minute they are there and the next minute you say oops there has been and error and you come back with 6 out of 406. This is the third time in the last year you have done this to me. I would like to know what measures you have or will have put in place to prevent that. I also would like to know what data collection you have gather to prevent this. No my email is not hacked because I have two step authentication.

Stop editing our emails. Our emails from politically conservative contacts are going into trash. You have no right to censor our mail, especially those telling us of motorcycle and antique auto club rides.
