Icloud Email only shows 1 year of history
How do I access my older emails on icloud and get them to display on my computer and phone. I am also missing whole months of emails. Why are they gone?

Hello JDPascolo,
Have you checked the iCloud website to see if the emails still show there? Just in case, here's a guide on using the iCloud website: Sign in and use iCloud.com - Apple Support
If the emails show there, you should be able to get them to sync up with your iPhone and computer. For your iPhone, the steps under "If you need help sending or receiving mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" should help get it synced up: If iCloud Mail isn't working - Apple Support
If you need help sending or receiving mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Check your Internet connection. Open apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
2. To see if you can receive mail for your iCloud email on another device, go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC.
3. Make sure that you turned on Mail in Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn on Mail.
3. Make sure that new data is pushed to your device automatically. In iOS 14 or later, tap Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data, then turn on Push. In iOS 13 or earlier, tap Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Fetch New Data, then turn on Push.
• Send an email to your account to see if Push is working.
• In Fetch New Data, tap your iCloud account and turn on Push. You can only use Push with one account at a time.
5. Turn your device off and back on.
6. If you still can't send or receive mail, turn off the settings in steps 3 and 4, restart your device, then turn them back on.
You didn't mention which computer you're using, Mac or PC. There are steps included in that guide for both, so be sure to check those out to get your Mac synced.
Let us know what you find.
Take care!
