Missing iCloud emails

Hi I’ve recently upgraded my iPhone, everything had transferred perfectly and phone working fine - yesterday I went into my Mail app and my iCloud emails have disappeared. Checked iCloud online too and no sign of them - any idea what’s happened? I’ve tried restoring a later back up but still no luck

See the article About missing information after you restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud Backup - Apple Support

Since your Mail already lives in iCloud, it isn't included in iCloud Backup. iCloud Backup does include the settings for your iCloud email account and any other email accounts on your device. After you restore from iCloud Backup, iCloud and your other email providers replace your available email messages so you can pick up where you left off.
