You need to explore multitasking - as you have a slide-over Mail view enabled.
Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” multitasking button that is found at the top-centre edge of each App Window. Tap the multitasking button at the top of the slide-over window to expose a menu - from which you can change the window view.
More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information about using iPad and its many features. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
