Had the same issue. AOL mail was not updating. Was super frustrating. To fix: go into my iPhone settings>Mail>choose email account, then delete it. After deleting that aol email, I then select to “Add Account” to add the email account back. I had to login with password credentials as usual. But my email account was restored and email updated. I did that process for each AOL account I have. All are fine now.


My guess is that AOL updated something and it broke something with 3rd party connections/logins. But who knows. Their support is not available on wknds even if you have a premium account. :/

After a week of doing doing every suggestion in this string, here is what worked. Please download the AOL first so you have access to your emails. Go to Settings > be sure to update your software. No fix? Go to Settings > General> Transfer or Reset iPhone>select Reset and choose Reset Network Settings> Still No fix? Delete the email app on your phone and go into the app store and download the Mail app again. Once it loads, open the mail app. Choose the AOL third party option and sign in with your AOL user name and password. This should download your mail and resolve the issue. I found this information on You Tube and followed it "to the letter". It worked very well. I hope this helps everyone!
