How to sync my IMAP account settings across my various devices

My current iPhone is setup with all 15 (yeah I know it's a lot) of my (IMAP) email accounts perfectly.

I have a new iPhone I'm upgrading to and a new iPad I also want to sync.

Just like how the Wi-Fi passwords synced, how do I get the mail account settings to sync so I don't have enter the account information all over again, twice?

And just to clarify, I know the emails live on the imap server and will show up once I'm connected, but what I'm asking about the account settings that contain the domain/port/username/password/etc of those servers.

Thank you
