A couple weeks ago i decided to use icloud for my mail. Now I want to stop using icloud mail and put my mail back on my iPhone Mail app. How can i do this without losing all of my mail?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18
It's not entirely clear what you're asking. Are you saying that you started using your @iCloud.com email address instead of a previous address? Or do you mean something else?
To add an email account to your iPhone, follow these instructions:
Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
No, I used iphone Settings - name - iCloud ( iCloud+) and pressed the Mail icon to use email on iCloud using my
apple id/email address. I see this was a mistake not to create a different email address. I don’t like the icloud email and want to just the Apple Mail app on my iPhone and iPad.
But can I get my mail off iCloud+ on my iphone and just use the iPhone Mail app?
I have turned off the Mail icon on Settings - iCloud , but now when I press the Mail app in my iPhone, I get this screen that looks like it is asking me to set up a brand new account.
I am confused — I don’t know if this will put the emails back onto my existing iphone Mail app or delete existing emails to create a new account.

No, it's not asking you to set up a brand-new account. It's asking you to choose which type of account that you currently have that you wish to add to Mail. Select iCloud.
My only email address is my Apple id - @icloud.com that I use in Mail on iPhone and iPad.

I simply don’t want to use iCloud as the only storage for my emails. I want my email stored in Mail on my iPhone so I can access emails without an internet connection.

The link provided above will let you set up email on your device. Your iCloud email will always use iCloud space and will always be accessible at iCloud.com.
