Hello Joezwhales2000,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you.

Since this issue started, have you checked your Mail settings on both devices to see if they are the same? If they don't match it could explain why syncing isn't occurring as expected. To check your Mail settings follow the path below:

On both iPhone and iPad - Settings > Mail > Accounts

Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone and iPad to see if that triggers syncing to occur? If not, give that a try to see if it helps.

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Restart your iPad - Apple Support

If you continue to experience issues, you may want to try removing the email account from the device that isn't syncing and set it up again to see if that corrects this issue.

If you can’t send email on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support - section: Remove your email account and set it up again

Best regards.
