Q: How do I sync multiple email accounts on ipad

What do you mean my synce.  You want to read your email on several machines and have all look the same.  You need to configure your email client to use the imap protocol (or Microsoft protocol which I'm not familiar with, Microsoft exchange. ).

You can get another email client from the app store.  I've use several email clients to keep my accounts separated.

By synchronize, I suspect you mean that reading or deleting a message on one device will result it its being read or deleted on the other device. If so, this is only possible for IMAP accounts or exchange accounts. This is not an iPad limitation but a limitation in the email system protocols. iCloud mail is an IMAP system; so, iCloud email will synchronize automatically. There could be a slight delay in this, but it works.

Many email systems (Comcast may be one of the more common) are POP accounts. Those won't sychronize at all regardless of device used.

If by synchronize you mean that you can have the account on multiple devices and that's all; no problem regardless of the system. But, remember that you will download all your POP messages even if you have read and deleted them on another device. That can be a pain.

Hi,

I think I'm the only one who understands what your talking about as I too have the same problem, I used to be able to look at my hotmail email address and my icloud email address but now I can only view my primary email address which is the hotmail email ( the very first email address that I added) and can no longer view my icloud emails. This is very annoying, why Apple have to keep changing things I don't know, but now I can only view one email address.

Birxyair, if you manage to work your way around it, meaning you've worked out how to have two or more email address linked to the mail boxes then please would you share with me? please.

Kind regards

Hi,

I solved this problem on IOS7 by:

-  deleting the iCloud account on my iPad

-  with iCloud off, the option to add accounts under Mail reappears in System Preferences

-  set up each account

-  set up iCloud again.

All accounts reappeared and work fine.

I had to do this because I had to reset and rebuild the iPad due to a software malfunction.

Hope this is helpful

I would like an answer to this problem also. Why did Apple complicate things so much. Help please, thanks, Jan

It seems that pussyfootfarm in the prior post presents a work-around. 

--- delete the account or accounts and redefined them. ---

This is no help to me. I'm using iOS 9,2 with iTunes in el Capitan. So I need info for current OS Systems. So I only have eMail on my Mac not my iPad or iPhone. Apple should leave well enough alone

I not sure what to suggest.  You have posted in the wrong place.  Not sure what the issue is.

You need to create your own discussion.

-- start with powering on your machine.

-- List what app you are using.

-- what you do

-- what happened

-- what you expect to happen.

You need to select the correct community.  I gather you are having a problem with email on  el capitan.
