Stuck on welcome to mail page

Hi, when I open my Mail app, I am stuck on the Welcome to Mail screen. If I attempt to log into my email it says “Could not sign in” and “This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone.”


After reading questions from other users, someone suggested that I remove and readd my email. However, I seem to be unable to do this as it is an iCloud email account.


Please can someone help me gain access to my email account again!
