On the Mac go to System Settings / Preferences ➜ Accounts ➜ iCloud ➜ iCloud Mail and click on there "Turn Off" button.


This will remove the email account from the system, but the account will continue to exist and be accessible on iCloud.com


On the iPhone do the same in Settings ➜ Mail ➜ Accounts ➜ iCloud ➜iCloud ➜iCloud Mail ➜ Use on this iPhone and turn the switch off.
