The answer depends completely on your email service provider, and the method they use to transmit your email. Check your service provider’s website. Choose IMAP as their transmission method if offered a choice.

"not sure how to sync them up"


No syncing is required if your mail provider allows an account on multiple devices. For example, my wife uses the same AOL email account on her iPhone, iPad, and Mac.


Things stay "in sync" automatically, because each device is updated by the AOL mail servers.


Try to set up email on your iPhone just like you did when you set up the iPad.


If you could provide the name of your email provider, another user who might be using the same service might see this thread and be able to help. Don't post your actual email address.........just answer to provide the name of the mail service.

Logging in to Multiple Apple IDs?:

If you are referring to being signed in to two different Apple IDs simultaneously on one iPhone, then that is not an option.
