"iCloud email not transferring after iPhone update and import: Turned power off and back on; email boxes all populated now!"

--------

Restart would have Fixed this:

It was not a restart, but after making major changes to your iPhone, you should always backup your iPhone > save what need be > and then restart it your iPhone. In doing so, things are synced to how they should be. I recommend doing the same for all devices. Also, having just set this up, consider backing up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, to avoid loss of data.
