Hi guys, really appreciate a bit of help please.
bought a new 2021 9th gen yesterday.
set up ok.
registered in wife’s Apple ID, as old one was.
she doesn’t do techie stuff.
I set up my aol email , it’s the only one I use.
however, for some reason, I cannot attach anything to an email, no attachment on email when composing one.
cannot send photo from photos, or screen shots ?
I downloaded gmail app for wife, as wife’s Apple ID is her gmail address.
can do all on that ?
if I want to send a photo or screenshot to anyone, I have to send it via wife’s gmail app, or send it to my aol email and then I can forward it to anyone.
Appreciate any advice please.

In iOs mail , click on the mailboxes, then the aol one, then click on write, it should say from [email protected] in the cc/from . When i say click i really mean prod with the most touchscreen friendly finger you have 💅

Hi D, thanks for reply.
I have my aol email a/ c, no paper clip to attach anything to !
got my wife’s gmail a/c , paper clip there , so can attach  anything to .
just downloaded my gmail a/c , no paper clip there, I did this to see if clip was there.
SO, there is only one of the three , emails on the iPad that I can send an attachment on, my wife’s, which is the one whose Apple ID is her gmail address !
can only assume it’s because Apple ID is allowing only her email to attach to ?
security reason ??
didn’t have any problem on old iPad Air, which packed up last week.
attached to mine and her gmail a/ c.
Only ever use my email address on all mail etc.
her email address was put on years ago , as ID,because I bought it for her, but she never used it, 
still doesn’t.
wonder if I change Apple ID to my aol address will work ?
