You should see all of your email accounts in this window. Just tap on the particular account that you want to be in and then you should see all of the folders in that account....under the Accounts heading. If you can't get back to this window - just keep tapping the button in the upper left corner of the mail window that you are in until you get back to here.

Demo, thank you for your prompt response. I am not sure what I am doing. In reading your question I thought I ought to investigate further. I usually open Mail it takes me into a list of my Inboxes, and I usually select All Inboxes, I just open the mail that is waiting and either Delete or Move. When I select Move I then see a selection of Folders and I select the appropriate one. the e-mail goes into that folder and I return to my All Inboxes. At a later stage when I return to Mail and wish to re read an old email I do not see any of the folders. I am concerned that I have lost all my mail. This includes mail received into 3 mailboxes and I also have iCloud but do not understand what mail is in those folders and how they get there. Confused, I am!

Can anyone let me know how I can save all of my emails, received in various accounts, on my ipad/iphone, to be saved in icloud.

How long will they remain in icloud?

Lastly, I have read posts that say to check in Settings and Mail. I have done that and no where do I see any indication of how long mail will be held in my saved folders.

I have icloud set as my default account.
