- Make sure that you're connected to the Internet. Try to open apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to see if you can receive email for your iCloud email.
- Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn on Mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud.
- Make sure that new data is pushed to your device automatically:
- On your device with iOS 10 and later, tap Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data and turn on Push.
- On your device with iOS 9 and earlier, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data and turn on Push.
- Then send an email to your account to see if Push is working.
- Go back to Fetch New Data. Then Tap your iCloud account and turn on Push. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts, you can use Push with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
- Turn your device off and back on.

Hi thanks for the reply. I had tried all of the things you listed when I had the problem and still no joy. I tried sending an email yesterday and worked ok so don’t know what the problem was but all ok now. Thanks
Why can’t I send emails from my iCloud account on my iPad ?
