Can not download my mail to read

Hey there barber1947,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

If having issues with not receiving emails on your iPad, check out the steps listed in the following resource that can help: If you can't receive email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Before you begin

There are a few things to keep in mind and check:

* When you make an iOS or iPadOS backup in iCloud or iTunes, it backs up your mail settings, but not your email. If you delete or change your email account settings, previously downloaded emails might be removed from your device.

* Make sure that your device is connected to the Internet.

* Check with your email service provider to find out if there's a service outage.

* If you can't access your email, or you can't send and receive messages with your @icloud.com email address, learn what to do.

Keep us updated on the results after going through all the steps in the resource above. If still having issues let us know if you're seeing any particular alerts or errors when trying to download your emails. Also, are you having issues with an iCloud email, a third-party email provider, or multiple email accounts?

Take care!
