iCloud Mail issues
You will just see: are you waiting for an important email and then iCloud Mail suddenly has problems. Fortunately, there is often not too much going on and with the following solutions you will be emailing again in no time.
1. Check your internet connection
In most cases, your internet connection is the cause of your iCloud Mail problems. Therefore, first check whether you can use the internet on your iPhone or iPad at all. Open a website or see if you can watch a YouTube video, for example.
Try to check your mail with your WiFi connection and the mobile data connection (4G or 5G) of your iPhone. If your e-mail does not reach one of the two, then you know that the problem lies there. Is iCloud Mail Not Working at All? Then try the next tip.

- Choose the type of account you want to add, for example iCloud;

5. Mailbox or iCloud is full
It can also happen that your iCloud Mail is full and causes problems. There is then nothing to do but critically go through your emails (and your other Cloud storage) to see if there are not too many messages with large files.
It is also not possible to send too many large files when sending e-mails. You will then be notified whether Apple should create a link so that the recipient can download the files themselves. This is also known as Mail Drop.
Finally, go through all the files in your iCloud. You can also choose to upgrade your iCloud storage and buy more space with it.
