Is there a way to sync mailboxes between my iPhone XR, my iPad Pro (12.9", 2nd generation) and my iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)? I have added a few folders on my iMac to help keep things organized - "Packages", "Receipts", "Travel", etc. These do not show up on my iPad or iPhone, but it would be really useful if they did. All three are running up-to-date operating systems. Thanks!
Modern mail services are IMAP (or similar effect). This means that any device can log in with the same credentials and manage the email account independently of each other. Each logged in device sees the effect of the operation.
It looks like synchronisation but is not. No data passes between the devices. The email account is maintained om the central server
The short answer is to add the email account(s) you wish to have on the devices and they will be presented to each device correctly
Note: Older email services such as POP3 will not work like this

Please describe with precision what you mean by the term "Mailboxes"
Your post title speaks of email. Folders ought to appear in each location. What mail service are you using?
Sorry, I think I'm actually referring to mail folders. The icons that look like little folders. They are under "On My Mac". When I put an email into a folder I created for "Packages", as an example, it does not show up in my "Packages" folder on either my iPhone or iPad.
My email shows up on all my devices in my "Inbox", but when I move an email to a folder, it does not show up on my other devices.
I use Apple's Mail.
We have done everything obvious. It is time to Contact Support

When in Apple's mail on a device, at the top left hand corner there is "<Mailboxes" Tap that and a list of the boxes ought to appear
Yes, they do appear, but there is no mail in them.
What happens when you pull the screen down to refresh them?
Nothing.
