Hello, everyone. After extensive conversations with an Apple representative who, through a couple encounters, has shown me she knows what she is doing, I have to some extent lessened the severity of my problem. The account in question, a Verizon/Aol one that I had configured as a POP3 account (obviously not the one I use for this group), is now an IMAP one. I have long thought of changing from POP3 to IMAP, and although I have a good reason for using POP, I know very well the advantages of an IMAP configuration. To make a long story short, we are working on the theory that even though AOL supports POP3 and IMAP, the IMAP configuration works better. With IMAP, the "new email" ding sounds much more often than it did with the POP setup.
This problem didn't rear its head until I updated to iOS 12, so we may well be talking about the possibility that iOS 12 is pickier about the way its mail app interacts with AOL Mail than was iOS 11.x. I realize that this scenario is highly conjectural and even possibly suspect, but I am moving on since this problem is hardly a show-stopper. I appreciate everyone's contributions to this thread. BTW, for those unfamiliar with the workings of Verizon email, AOL now manages Verizon email accounts. This makes for an unsettling experience for some users.
