Hello,

I haven't received any emails from my iCloud account for several days because my iCloud storage is full so I can neither send nor receive messages with my iCloud email address. As a result, I have no emails at all and I would like to know how to recover them? I emptied my storage space but I still don't see the "missing" emails.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thank you in advance

Configuration: Macintosh / Safari 11.1.2

Hello,
I would say that a person who sent you an email when your iCloud space was full must have received an email informing them of the inability to deliver the message due to the recipient's email address being full. So, if that person doesn’t attempt to resend their email, you will never receive anything.
Apple is clear on this point: https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/icloud/mm6b1a5aee/icloud

Regarding the emails you tried to send, they may be stored by Mail in the outbox locally on your Mac.
