Had same problem with AOL email and my Google Contacts. I deleted the AOL account from my iPhone & was eventually able to add my AOL account back but only after I’d used the AOL app for a couple of days. However, when I did the same with my Google Contacts account, I wasn’t able to add it back and lost all my contacts completely. Only a few were saved to iCloud and I couldn’t even find the rest by logging into Google from my laptop, neither did the reset facility work to pick up contacts from before the 12.3.1 installation. I made sure I switched my iPhone contact default to iCloud, luckily found an old iPhone which hadn’t got the 12.3.1 update on it and spent a few hours adding my contacts back manually & weeding out a few! This has never happened before and I hope won’t happen again.

This happened to me too, with sending aol mail since I updated the iOS on my iPad to 12.3.1. It has nothing to do with gmail being down. There’s apparently a bug with this new iOS update. Apple please fix the problem.

I have no problem sending and receiving aol mail on my devices which I did not update to iOS 12.3.1.

I regret doing the update.

Apple should offer a way to reverse an update not leave people stuck with problems as a result of doing an update Apple suggested.

I very much regret doing the update as well!!!
