Missing Mail Subfolders

I have AOL as one of my mailboxes on iPhone 13 and I had all my folders available until all of a sudden yesterday the subfolders disappeared. Only the main folders are there. I have done all the usual things to fix and nothing is working. Any ideas?

Mail Subfolders Disappeared Recently, my iPhone stopped showing subfolders in the iOS email app. It shows all the custom folders made at the same level as the Inbox, but all folders beneath those, and their respective contacts, are gone. I changed nothing. This just changed on its own. Please note that I am using my iPad to read the same email and the subfolders DO appear in the iOS email app on my iPad. I am using iOS 16 with an iPhone 13 Pro Max

iOS 17.6.1 Mail app is not displaying mailbox subfolders I have created Mailbox folders for my email accounts. Each displays beneath the Inbox etc for the account. I created subfolders for each new mailbox. The mailbox label in the account drop down label has a blue arrow indicating the mailbox contains subfolders. When the mailbox is opened however the sub folders, (which now contain essential emails), are not visible. The edit button for the mailbox is also greyed out and dead. The emails in the non-displaying sub folders can be searched for. However they won't open when selected from search. Restarting the Mail app does not restore the subfolders. Restarting the iPhone does not restore the subfolders. Deleting and reinstating the Mail app has been suggested elsewhere but some people experienced significant losses doing this and it seems like drastic action. Looking through support pages it seems this is a ling standing problem which has never yet been answered satisfactorily. Is anyone aware of a solution to this catastrophic problem for iOS 17.6.1? If so, please let me know because some of the emails I currently cannot access are irreplaceable and of really vital importance to me and others. Thank you.

Missing Mail Folders All of my folders have disappeared from Mail on iPad Pro, yet they all remain in Mail on my iPhone. I can still receive email on both, but can only manage them on iPhone. I’ve checked the settings match. However when I check the folder Edit settings on the iPad Pro, they are minimal, not even Bin is an option. I’ve deleted, rebooted and recreated the email account, but the problem remains. Updated to iOS 16.4 during the week. Help? Thanks
