That means you don’t have any email accounts set up. Open Settings, tap on Mail, then Accounts, and add your email account.

Mail not opening to Inbox This issue has been driving me crazy since I switched from Microsoft to Apple. I was shocked that there is no way to configure the opening screen. I’m now using an iPhone 13 ProMax so I don’t have the home button. After I read an email I don’t see a way to actually close the message so I just click on the Inbox then close the app by swiping part way up then swiping the app again. In the case of the mail app, it will then open to the last read email instead of the inbox. After a week or so opening mail by pressing and holding the mail icon and picking the inbox, it will finally open to the inbox by simply tapping the mail icon. Poor app design. Very poor.
