Hi joewill1,
We'll be glad to help out. If you're consistently getting this message, you may need to try signing out of iCloud completely on each affected device, then signing back in. The following article shows how to do this: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support
Give that a try, then see if you can use Mail afterwards. Let us know if it still happens and we can assist further.
Cheers.

Signing out of Icloud completely, then signing back in solves the problem. Thank you!
