Mail on iPad Pro

I Figured it out! Posting solution in case anyone is having the same issue. In Settings > ‘your name/account’ > iCloud tab, both the mail and several other tabs weren’t selected to sync across devices and/or the iCloud.

I most certainly could have done this by accident during setup or maybe it’s the default settings? - either way, those tabs need to be clicked to green so everything syncs. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did log into my Apple ID, and it shows that I have two email accounts in the settings. I also tried logging into iCloud email manually, and the notice said ‘This account is already active on this iPad.’

For some strange reason (user error!?) when I launch mail my apple account is nowhere to be found. Works fine on my iPhone.

any other ideas would be welcomed thanks.
