There actually is rhyme and reason to the settings. Apple basically chose to
consolidate everything that has to do with iCloud and Apple ID into one
settings area. The iCloud button will put you into the iCloud specific
settings, such as the services you have turned on and your backup status and
management. The main iCloud settings area is all about managing your Apple ID
and the “trusted devices” you have configured to work with iCloud. It’s
definitely worth an exploration and investigation to get a feel for what is
available.

To be quite honest, I find the whole Apple ID section of Settings to be quite
hard to grasp. It would seem to indicate that selecting one or the other
mailbox, or my phone number, will change the way you receive all mail and
messages and communications. For some reason, the setting I needed was lumped
in with storage and other apps that use iCloud storage, like Music, News, and
other things that were totally unrelated to Mail. I wish they’d redesign this
section; I’m usually pretty good with IOS but this I find very confusing.
Thanks again, John.

I’m glad it helped. My niece had a similar issue a short time ago, and
this was the solution for her problem with her iCloud mail disappearing.

Hi, John.
That seems to have taken care of it; the “all inboxes,” folder is now
listed again, and seems to contain my iCloud mail, although to be honest, I
rarely get any mail at that address; I simply wanted it that way for
completion’s sake.
Thanks for the help.

Try checking your iCloud settings. Double tap on your name at the top
of the settings screen, then double tap on, iCloud. Make sure Mail is
checked as one of the services using iCloud.

When I go back as far as the Mail app will let me, the only account
listed is Gmail. When I try to re-add it, it says it’s already enabled.
In Settings, it says my Apple ID is being used for ICloud mail. So I’m
not sure how to do what you’re suggesting. THanks, though.

Did you check the list of in boxes within the Mail app? If it is there
but not showing up that would tell you it needs to be enabled. There is
a Mailboxes back button at the very top…I just checked mine and wow I
have a crap ton of mailboxes I forgot about. You can also see if you can
access it directly from the mailboxes list, If it’s not there then a
mystery needs to be solved. You could try disabling it and re-enabling
it from your accounts setting page.

I recently accidentally deleted the Mail app from my iPhone 8. I
immediately redownloaded it, and successfully set up my Gmail account
again. However, I cannot seem to get E-mails from my ICloud.com address
to show up in my Mail inbox.
ICloud mail is already enabled on this iPhone. When I go to Settings,
and try to add the account, it says that this account is already added
to my phone. On my MacBook,, in its Mail app, ICloud mail shows up in
my “all inboxes,” folder.
What do I have to specifically do in order to enable the Mail app on my
iPhone 8, running the latest, I think it’s 1.4.1, to enable an “all
inboxes,” folder, in which my iCloud mail is also received, as well as
my Gmail?
Thanks; I hope I explained this well enough...
