Need Help Moving Emails from Local Storage on iPhone to iCloud or Gmail

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with moving some emails stored locally on my iPhone, and I’m hoping someone can help.

Here’s the situation: I have four professional email accounts that were set up on my iPhone, but I lost the domains for those emails about two years ago. Even though the domains are no longer active, my clients' emails are still saved in the Mail app on my iPhone.

The problem is, when I try to move these emails to my iCloud or Gmail accounts (which are set up with IMAP on the Mail app), they still seem to be stored locally on the device when I check my accounts on my laptop. This issue only affects emails from the lost domains, while everything else works fine with iCloud and Gmail.

Does anyone know how I can transfer these emails from my iPhone’s local storage to iCloud or Gmail? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help!

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16
