Head to Settings > Mail and tap on the ”Accounts” button, followed by the account that’s giving you trouble. Make sure you’ve got the correct account, then remove it from your iPhone using the ”Delete Account” button at the bottom.

Be aware this will remove the account from your iPhone entirely. Any drafts saved on your device that have not been pushed to the server will also be deleted. As long as messages exist on the server, you shouldn’t lose any email messages in your inbox.

Now head back to Settings > Mail and tap on Accounts again. Tap the ”Add Account” button and follow the instructions for adding a new account to your iPhone. Once the account has been added, make sure that ”Mail” is enabled. You should now be able to receive emails on your iPhone 15 Pro.

Use a Dedicated App or Web Browser

If nothing works, you may want to use your email provider’s dedicated app. Though apps like Gmail and Outlook lack the privacy protections you’ll find in Apple Mail, they work flawlessly with their respective services.

Most webmail services also work in a web browser too. This includes Gmail, Outlook, and even iCloud Mail (because Apple’s own service is also not immune from the issue).
