I called apple support. So, you do download the original mail icon from App store. Blue background/white envelope. Then, go to settings, go to mail and turn your mail boxes on. Mine were off. Just swipe on. Good to go!

You can retrieve it either by re-downloading it from the App Store or going to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Home Screen, which will reset app layout to how it was originally. Either way, you will then need to log in again to your email, so I would go with the first option.

I tried to reset my home screen. No luck!

Also tried to find the app but no luck. In fact I can't access the App Store at all right now. I get a message that it's unavailable when I try a search

i tried to re-download it from the app store but it won't let me go past the page whare I have to pay, it should be a free app.

resetting homescreen appeared to work to restore icon, but now application icon is superimposed, so I can't check email anyway. Can't move icon either. Thoughts?

here’s what I did,

I went into settings

passwords and accounts

(under accounts) and for my email, I have an iCloud account so I pressed, Icloud

I scrolled down to Mail, and I swiped it on (made sure the icon thingy was green) and then it worked!

THAT’S HOW I LOGGED INTO MY MAIL AFTER I DELETE AND REINSTALLED THE APP!

It is a frustrating experience having to lose your mail icon. Attempting to restore did not help unfortunately and I had to resort to internet research. I am glad I came across this solution which was helpful in retrieving the mail icon: https://bit.ly/3qdxm0a

Thank you! This should be displayed in the app. It has been months and I installed Edison mail to get around the non-working Apple Mail.
