Well, apple has made absurdly difficult. You have to wonder about the “improvements “ being offered up in these so-called upgrades.

Ultimately I found an app called “Spark” that solved the problem but, of course, it has has its own learning curve.

Thanks for all the help.

Open "Settings" App. Scroll down and click "Mail" (about 5 sections down, under "Passwords"). Once in the mail settings you should see "Accounts", open this setting and look for "Add Account". Select account type (iCloud, Google, yahoo, etc) and proceed from there.
