Hi Capsano2,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Seems you would want to go directly to the limited Email account at the Email provider's website online

(eg: Gmail or Outlook, Yahoo, isp, etc.) and delete some of the eMails there.


You might want to look through the account settings that you have set there.

(Eg: You could check/ change how long eMails are kept in the account's inbox online.)

You may be able to ensure your Inbox there never gets so full, as you are accessing your eMails in "Mail" app on your iPad.

(Some of us set things up so eMails are not kept in the provider's account for long at all. After all, we have the same eMails on our devices.)


If you also want to clean up your iPad's Mail app: you may want to delete or archive older eMails

Apple support have an article online help with this.
