Import mail accounts from Mac to iPad?

I just got an iPad Pro, and it’s not clear how to import all my existing email accounts from my Mac. They all transferred seamlessly to my MacBook Pro when I set it up.


Anyone know how to do the same thing on an iPad?


It didn’t happen automatically when I set up the iPad, so I’m hoping I don’t have to set up and configure each account manually. 😬

Hello,


iPad does not support account synchronization, like the Mac has. You will need to manually enter all of your accounts in Settings > Passwords & Accounts.

Not what I was hoping to hear, but thanks very much for the reply. I guess it's just like setting up an iPhone then. What a horrible user experience for someone with multiple email accounts. It's got to be technically possible - especially now with the more "desktop-like" iPadOS. Oh well, I guess it's time to submit a feature request. 😐


Thanks again.
