In iCloud settings I accidentally clicked on "MAIL", went back to my email, and now am waiting for thousands of old emails to load, slowing down the entire function. How to reestablish the efficient email settings?

Undo whatever you just did.
Can't undo, silly suggestion anyway. The iCloud "mail" had been checked already. I think I may have clicked on "mail" again accidentally, ...and all **** broke loose, ...iCloud began loading THOUSANDS of old emails and slowing to a crawl on opening and loading new ones.
If Mail was checked, checking it again turns it off, it does not download emails. Is this an iCloud mail account (@icloud or @me)
Actually, I clicked inavertently on the Mail "area," not the box. Later I clicked the box, and yes, that turned off emails. Clicked it back on again. But these hyper downloads really slow things down.
It's an iCloud mail account. Would @me work better???
@me is an iCloud account, as is @mac and @icloud.com
