Retrieving my mail and personal folders on iPhone13

My yahoo mail was not updating, so I went into settings > mail > accounts > Yahoo > delete from my iPhone. The warning I was given was "delete from deleting this account will remove its calendars, reminders, notes and contacts from your iPhone." Thinking it was safe to do so, as I was going to add the mail account back, I deleted it. Now I can't see my folders or subfolders NOR can I log onto Yahoo and see my folders or subfolders. I desperately need these folders. I see emails only by searching for them by name. It is all messed up and no longer organized.


I had just performed an update to my phone a couple days ago or so. How can I get everything back without affecting anything else, especially my gmail account that is in mail?

Well did you add the account back on your phone, do you see those folders when you log on to your Yahoo account on a web browser?
