How To Retrieve Email Icon On Iphone

Chosen Solution

You can retrieve it either by re-downloading it from the App Store or going to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Home Screen, which will reset app layout to how it was originally. Either way, you will then need to log in again to your email, so I would go with the first option.

Also tried to find the app but no luck. In fact I can't access the App Store at all right now. I get a message that it's unavailable when I try a search

resetting homescreen appeared to work to restore icon, but now application icon is superimposed, so I can't check email anyway. Can't move icon either. Thoughts?

here's what I did,

I went into settings

passwords and accounts

(under accounts) and for my email, I have an iCloud account so I pressed, Icloud

I scrolled down to Mail, and I swiped it on (made sure the icon thingy was green) and then it worked!

THAT'S HOW I LOGGED INTO MY MAIL AFTER I DELETE AND REINSTALLED THE APP!

It is a frustrating experience having to lose your mail icon. Attempting to restore did not help unfortunately and I had to resort to internet research. I am glad I came across this solution which was helpful in retrieving the mail icon: https://bit.ly/3qdxm0a

Thank you! This should be displayed in the app. It has been months and I installed Edison mail to get around the non-working Apple Mail.
