Assuming that you are using an IMAP mail server, if you intent is to delete your email, deletion from within the email App will delete the server-copy of your email messages. If you don’t delete from the server, they’ll repopulate your iPad.

A 16GB iPad really doesn't have a lot of space to play with.

Practical, usable data storage space of a 16 GBs iPad is ONLY between 9-11 GBs.

iPads need to maintain a minimum of, at least 2-3 GBs of internal free data storage to maintain nominal, acceptable iOS performance and system functionalities.

This leaves a 16 GBs iPad with a usable storage space of between 9-11 GBs max!
