As someone that has several Gmail and Verizon accounts my call is: AOL is often either put in junk or trash for all all. Often that includes Yahoo as well. I suspect its the general drift to better authentication to slow the junkmail and spoofed emails. This is why people use Gmail, it filters spam and trash like no other and by experience its reliable as any I've used.
To be very blunt, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, are the top three considered junk at best and spam at worst on my systems. Valid email from any of those is an exception rather than the rule. FYI: my pet peve is everything is received twice! Allison On 11/24/2016 12:20 PM, Eric Christopherson wrote: > On Nov 23, 2016 11:05 PM, "John H.
