I followed the information shown above.
The problem is,
#1. if I click on the “MAIL” App I get taken to
#2. “welcome to mail” where I am given several options including iCloud and Other.
#3. Choosing “iCloud” leads me to
#4. “iCloud” (Forgot Apple ID or Password?) OR “CANCEL” or “NEXT” ) where I must input my email address and password.
#5. When I put in this information, it “Verifies” and returns with
#6. “(my email address@icloud.com)” is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone.
#7. My only option is to click “OK” which brings me nowhere. Returning me to
#8. “iCloud” (Forgot Apple ID or Password?) OR “CANCEL” or “NEXT” )
#9. Selecting “Next” returns me to #6
#10. Selecting “Cancel” returns me to #2
#11. If I select “Other” I am brought to “New Account”.
How do I access the account the phone already recognizes (This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone.) and has been my email account for several years?
