Deleted Mail

I deleted as distinct from uninstalling Mail. So system knows it was installed and so will not reinstall it. How can I get Mail running again?

Hi ei9hk,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I saw your post about Mail, and I'll be happy to see if I can assist.


Can you clarify a bit about what's happening? Knowing that would help to provide you with the best steps.


As a general starting point, if you deleted the Mail app, you would need to re-download it from the App Store: Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch


"Restore a built-in app that you deleted

  1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
  3. Tap  to restore the app.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen."


If you need to re-add one of your accounts, check out this link: Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


I hope I've answered your question. Feel free to reply back with more detail about the issue if needed, and the community might be able to offer additional assistance.


Have a great rest of your day.
