I am taking my Mac to the genius bar and trying to back up to the iCloud. All the icons are checked when signed in the iCloud but my mail icon is not checked. Is there a reason or should I check the mail icon?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Apple has a backup service for iPhones and other iOS devices but not for Mac computers. While it is possible to sync selected things to iCloud, I would strongly recommend that you use Apple's Time Machine backup app to backup your Mac to an eternal USB hard drive.
