copy pop3 mail from old ipad to nerw ipad

i have pop3 mail on my old ipad and i have created the same mail account on my new ipad. i want to transfer the messages from the old ipad to the new ipad. or sync them. but it seems that if you sync it by icloud this only works for different icloud mails and not pop3 mails.

Hey clemens48,


With POP accounts, normally the emails are downloaded to your device and deleted from your email service providers servers, unless you're provided an option to keep them on the server. Have you checked with your email service providers webmail site to see if the emails still appear there too? If they do, you can simply add the account to your new iPad and the emails should sync over. Here's how: Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


How to set up your email account automatically

If you use an email provider like iCloud, Google, or Yahoo, Mail can automatically set up your email account with just your email address and password. Here's how:

1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.

2. Tap Add Account, then select your email provider.
3. Enter your email address and password.
4. If you see Next, tap Next and wait for Mail to verify your account.
5. If you see Save, tap Save.

If you don't see your email provider, tap Other to add your account manually.


Keep us posted.


Take care!
