which notes are imap

Open Notes, and navigate to the Folders display, and look at where the various notes are stored.

The headers for each collection of folders are the mail servers involved with that group.

If you have notes there, relocate them to a different server, or explicitly delete them.

Or allow the notes to be deleted as the IMAP account is removed and eventually deleted.

Okay, this may still be confusing to you.

You presently have two places where you can storing Notes.

You have iCloud, Apple’s name for their hosted services and including for Mail and Notes storage services.

iCloud storage is based on the Apple ID, not on the device.

iCloud can be confusing, as that data is not on each device, it’s shared across all devices associated with an Apple ID.

And you have local storage, with those Notes stored only right on your device. Not on any other of your devices.

(And those local Notes can get lost or stolen with your device and then be unavailable too, if not backed up.)

Here? You could store your Notes on mail servers all over the Internet, if you wanted.

But here? If you delete the reference into iCloud, you’ll no longer have access to those Notes.

Whether the two places for Notes are too many or too few is entirely your decision.

If you’re deleting some other not-iCloud IMAP mail server reference, that was not enabled for Notes, so no Notes will be lost.
