Hi Knittermom2,


You don't have to really. Just go into Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account and follow the directions.


Good luck and post back if you've questions or need help.


Cheers,


Anthony

These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.


“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.


An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:

Your email is usually kept on your Mail providers mail server. Using the described transfer process will automatically move your mail settings; your iPad will then simply re-download your mail.
