iPhone Mail: 'Keep your inbox clean' popup blocks AOL

Mail app on iPhone is asking me to re-enter password for AOL in Settings. Popup of "Keep your inbox clean" blocks me from doing so. Popup is neither clickable nor swipeable. Per AOL, I deleted the account now can't add it due to same issue.

iPhone SE, iOS 18

I am unable to remove a Gmail account from my iPhone 13 Pro Max IOS 17.4.1 I was with a company that used Gmail for their domain. I had that account on my phone. I left the company. They deleted the gmail account. I went to delete the Gmail account on my iPhone. If I go into Mail, Calendar or Contacts, then click on Accounts... All accounts are grayed out except this one Gmail account. I cannot add, edit or modify these accounts. The Gmail Account ONLY allows me to click on Re-Enter Password. There is no account, hence there is no password. No amount of click/hold/drag/tap/lick/spit or any other Apple actions on either of these screens. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to fix grayed- out email accounts issue in iOS I’m using IOS version 17.3.1. When I go in to Settings/ General/Mail all of the accounts there are grayed out so that I can’t review or edit anything for those accounts.

Go to Settings/Apps/Mail/Accounts and add the account back if it is not there.
