Hi there

Please see this

Common Reasons You Aren't Receiving Attachment Emails

iCloud Storage is Full: free iCloud shares its 5 GB of free storage across Mail, Photos, iCloud Drive, and device backups. If your storage quota is completely full, Apple suspends incoming and outgoing mail services until you free up space or upgrade your plan
Junk or Filter Rules: Heavy attachments or unfamiliar senders can sometimes trigger Apple’s spam filters or custom rules. Check your Junk or Trash folders directly on iCloud.com.
Sender Authentication Issues: If the email comes from a business or custom domain, missing or misconfigured records on the sender's side can cause iCloud's security systems to silently drop the message.
